YT Industries
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Also a lot of people like to hate on the direct to consumer brands like Canyon and YT, but they dragged all the big classic bike manufacturers down to more reasonable pricing.
- Parent context: YT says they will honor the warranty in the comments section of the pink bike article Reply: Oh that’s reassuring….
- They made solid bikes and were a big presence in SoCal.
- So ya if I was buying a bike any time soon I would look at YT. Until the status of YT changes in NORTH AMERICA where I live I won’t change my opinion.
- Check out YT if they can get thru these current problems they are great value bikes
Cons
- Just be careful that the company you do buy from isn't on the verge of folding (thinking YT, GT, Revel, etc.)
- People are still super fucking pissed about how shitty YT handled the situation, but let’s be honest, the next time you can get a killer deal on a killer bike with a killer history of performance… you’re still gonna look at buying a YT.
- Wouldn’t trust it tbh
- Do not buy a yt.
- Well Specialized still exists as a company so you can get support for it and YT is, at best, in limbo. For my money I’d rather buy the bike that I know has a functional warranty if I’m buying new.

YT…the beloved brand of fat dudes who cracked frames landing hard on beginner drops and continually warrantied frames.
They made solid bikes and were a big presence in SoCal.
YTs may have stocking issues and nonsense to weed through to actually get it to your door. ... running into frame warranty with YT or Polygon can be frustrating to say the least. Being online only.
