The engineers at Yt Industries bikes has completly redesigned their excisting downhill frame in collaboration with their DH world cup racer Erik Irmisch,the development of the new frame took more than a year and has undergo some major changes on the frame.
Current Tues DH frame
New Tues 2.0 DH frame
The new Tues 2.0 replaces the current model as their flagship DH frame for the 2012 line up,still YT saids the current Tues model will still be sold in their 2012 line up but then at a mid level price range but still will counted as a top model.The headbox in the headtube area & the trumpet tube in the Bottom Bracket area increased the torsonial stiffness by 30% and the weight of the frame is now 3.9kg incl shock making it 500g lighter than the current model.
Short headtube 112mm
New redesigned drop outs
Redesigned linkage system
The new frame incorperates 208mm travel with a 267x89mm i2i shock that results in a very low leverage ratio of 2:3,also it has adjustable chainstay lenght in three stages 425mm/430mm/435mm which you can adjust.The headtube angle is 64 degrees and is angle set ready for those that mount a Cane Creek angle set to lower or raise the headtube angle.
The YT Industries Tues 2.0 will be only offered as a Downhill bike,the current Tues model is still available in a freeride or downhill version.
