Expirience with the YT Izzo Blaze 29

Ludwig Döhl The Izzo Blaze has a little more travel than the other Izzo models and wants to ensure extra riding fun on single trails. The scales remain light for this model, which is, according to YT, at 13,7 kg. Thus, the All Mountain of YT is one of the lighter All Mountain that you get for 3999 Euro . The handling of this bike remains balanced thanks to a moderate geometry. The seating position does not manage to be too athletic, nor too upright. It´s moderate character is likely to suite the vast majority of bikers. All in all, in the on demanding single tracks category, you will hardly find a better overall package from parts and geometry. With 5 years the warranty is another neat feature.
