Ghostship or Black Magic? YT updates 2020 line

New parts, prices and colours from German brand for new year

YT Industries is dropping in on 2020 with a whole new range of colours, parts and prices for its mountain bikes. There’s no new bikes, yet. But it’s still early in the year, and no one has heard from Christopher Walken in a while, so who knows? The German brand has a penchant for unexpected releases.

For now, the biggest change for 2020 will be in appearance. The full range will be released in five colours: Titan Silver, Ghostship Green, Dune Grey, Twotone Blue and Black Magic.

There’s also some key changes to spec, with the all mountain, enduro and e-mtb going 12-speed across the board. Certain bikes move to Maxxis rubber, while Washington’s e*thirteen continues on other lines. Interested in details? Dive in below.

2020 YT Jeffsy 27 and Jeffsy 29

Jeffsy, YT’s all-rounder trail bike returns for 2020 with a carbon fibre frame, and three price options. There’s still a choice between 27.5″ and 29″ wheels, and sizes Small to XXL. For 2020, the Jeffsy line moves up to SRAM Eagle drivetrains and Maxxis tires.
