YT Wicked 650b. Click to zoom

YT hinted that a Wicked 650b was in the pipeline while we were finishing up with our longtermer last year, and here it is. It gets 158mm of travel from the same four bar suspension design found on previous current and previous Wickeds. The aluminium frame is hung with a SRAM X9 drivetrain, the new RockShox Pike RCT3 fork and Monarch RT3 shock, Elixir 5 brakes and a Stealth Reverb dropper post. All that for €2,399 from yt-industries.com. We’ll try and get our hands on one in the near future and let you know how it performs.
