Simon Kohler
We tested the new YT Industries SZEPTER CORE 4 2023. What’s the gravel gravity bike of the German direct sales brand capable of?
- Strong downhill performance, lots of fun to ride, and a high sense of safety
- "braaap" is now also available in gravel jargon
- Harmonious equipment, attractive price
- Despite its weight, it performs well off-road uphill.
- Too many design elements
- Could have more attachment points for bags and bottles
Tom Wieckowski
The YT Szepter rode very well across a range of terrain. If you want one bike to link gravel, tarmac and mtb trails and have a blast whilst you do it, this could be a great option
- +Very capable across a range of terrain
- +Comfortable riding position
- +The inclusion of fork and dropper post inspire confidence
- -Suspension fork and dropper post add additional servicing costs
- -Some riders may want larger tyre clearances
Will Strickson
VERDICT: YT’s first gravel bike is comfortable and capable, and should appeal to both roadies and MTB riders in different ways
Ben Delaney
An upright bike that early indications show is surprisingly comfortable and fun to ride… at a good price
- confident handling
- good value
- Clear sense of purpose (it’s a fun bike, not a race bike)
- Heavy
- pigeonholed outside race and bikepacking gravel spheres
Tyler Benedict
When a press email for a new gravel bike starts with “As you know, YT Industries has always been a gravity orientated mountain bike brand…” and both trim levels come with a Rockshox Rudy fork, it hints at what’s to come.
