If you remember the launch for YT’s third-generation Jeffsy, you’ll surely remember the amazing retro-90s theme and Power of Friendship cartoon character. Well, that action figure is finally available to bring home. It even comes with a special edition Jeffsy Uncaged. Ok, it only comes with a special edition Jeffsy Uncaged.
The Uncaged line runs in parallell to YT’s “Core” line for each model. Each Uncaged bike is a special edition, with a theme’d build and paint scheme. Jeffsy Uncaged 14 started out, apparently, as a custom project for CEO and Founder, Markus Flossmann. It’s kitted out as you might expect a bike brand CEO’s custom ride to be. Beyond the flashy, retro-coloured paint, there are high-end parts from Öhlins, 5DEV, Title, and Hayes.
The frame is the same Ultra Modulus carbon fibre used in YT’s top-end Jeffsy Core 5. And, beyond paint and parts, the Uncaged 14 remains the same spec as the standard Jeffsy. It’s still a 145mm-rear wheel travel, 150-mm fork, 29″ wheel trail bike that’s been at the core of YT’s line, refreshed for 2024.

5Dev cranks
Öhlins is always a bougie option
New colours, same Jeffsy
The parts, though, stand out. Öhlins TTX18-equipped SXF36 M.2 fork is solid and, whith a triple air chamber, extremely tuneable. The Swedish brand’s TTX2 rear shock gets size-specific tunes for each of Jeffsy’s S-XXL sizes for a consistent feel across the size run. San Diego, Cali.’s 5Dev R-Spec cranks push a 12-speed Shimano XT trivetrain. Keeping the retro theme going is a range of purple anodization, including Industry Nine 1/1 hubs, Title ST1 stem and Purple Hayes limited edition Dominion A4 brakes. Wheels remain Crankbrother’s alloy Synthesis Enduro rims, because alloy works.
Jeffsy Uncaged 14, and the Jeffsy action figure, are available directly from YT now. Despite the bougie build and limited colours, Jeffsy Uncaged 14 is $7,000.
