YT TUES 29 Core 4 Downhill MTB Carbon Shell White X-Large

YT TUES CORE 4
At the top of the food chain lies the CORE 4: a race-ready rig inspired by the YT MOB's component choices. Beneath the Shell White colorway lies a premium Ultra-Modulus carbon fiber frame, while the FOX Factory 40 fork and DHX2 coil shock (with size-specific spring rates) deliver comprehensive, pro-level tuning options. At the controls, the TRP DH-R EVO brakes feature 2.3mm thick 220mm rotors front and rear for maximum control, while SRAM's X01 DH groupset ensures crisp power transfer and lasting durability. Industry Nine 1/1 hubs supply rapid engagement and are laced to Crankbrothers Synthesis DH Alloy Rims, complimented by Maxxis Assegai DH tires in a Maxx Grip compound to stay glued to impossible lines. The spec is complete by a Renthal cockpit, ODI grips, and SDG I-FLY 2.0 saddle alongside an e*thirteen LG1 Plus chain guide for maximum security.

TUES MK4 Frame & Features
Good things come to those who wait, and with the new frame, there's a lot of ground to cover. The new TUES slots into the existing YT five-size sizing structure, with each size being compatible with either a 29" or MX wheel setup. Reach measurements move in 20mm increments from size S (430mm) through to XXL (510mm), while the 200mm of rear travel is controlled by the podium-proven V4L suspension linkage, aiding with generating speed while having the progression needed for heavy hits.

To enhance its versatility, the TUES MK4 has a trick up its sleeve – the FLIP LINK. Riders can seamlessly switch between a 29" and 27.5" rear wheel by flipping the link without requiring additional frame parts. The headtube angle is configurable between 63.2°/63.5° depending on the position of the lower shock mount Flip Chip, which also grants 5mm of BB height adjustment. The chainstay lengths are size-specific to maintain balance and feature an adjustable long/short setting for maximum versatility. Size S-L frames offer 438/443mm chainstays in the MX position and 440/445mm in 29", while XL-XXL models stand at 448/453mm and 450/455mm, respectively.

All this is neatly packaged within a 148x12mm rear end, complete with a SRAM Universal Derailleur Hanger for worldwide access to spares. Learning from its time on the race circuit, YT equipped the new TUES with a replaceable shock hardware insert, stopping stripped threads from ending your season early. The bottom bracket shifts from press fit to a threaded interface, and thanks to the EC49/ ZS56 head tube standard, the frame is compatible with a range of reach adjust headsets.
