Expirience with the YT Izzo CORE 3

Ludwig Döhl With the Izzo CORE 3 , the Bavarian direct seller has managed to put out a sporty allrounder. The scales remain light for this model, which is, according to YT, at 13,3 kg. Thus, the Izzo CORE 3 is one of the lighter Trailbike that you get for 4299 Euro . You have no idea if you prefer high speed stability or playful handling? Then you can´t go wrong with the YT Trailbike. It´s handling is pleasantly balanced. The balanced seating position is likely to suite the taste of the majority of bikers. All in all, in the tours with proper trails category, you will hardly find a better overall package from parts and geometry. With 5 years the warranty is another neat feature.
