Trailbike Group Test Review 3000 CB 24 1140x760

There’s never been a better time to be a mountain biker! Bikes have never been as good, and the performance you get for your money has never been as high. To prove our point, we compared seven trail bikes costing no more than € 3,000 each. But you need to be careful: While some bikes delivered the whole package, others still have room for improvement.

The YT JEFFSY 29 AL Comp is the defending champion in this group test, securing both the coveted Best in Test and Best Value titles last year. For the new season, YT kept revisions down to a minimum and just switched out the drivetrain, but the YT JEFFSY is still one of the best bikes available!
