Feb 22, 2026YT TUES, Core 2
$1800 GBPGreat condition DH bike. Rides spot-on with zero issues. Well maintained and not raced. Happy to meet at/near a North Wales bike park (Dyfi, Revs, Antur, Caersws) to show the bike in the flesh. Definitely no significant damage to the frame, components, or stanchions. Worst bit is a classic case of chain-suck, at the chainring, that has scraped away a patch of paint on the chain stay plus some very small stone chips and surface-level dulling/scuffing of the paint. As you can see from the pics, even this is overstating it because it’s in great condition. Rides very well.

NOTES:
- Seat, seat post, rear mech, shifter, chainring = all 100% brand new. I removed these before ever riding the bike because I set it up single-speed, with an o-chain, and with a different seat & seat post. The brand-new shifter (with inner cable and outer cable housing) is not currently fitted.
- I upgraded to 220mm rotors front and rear
- Cush Core DH fitted front & rear. New tyres front and rear recently, lots of life left.
- 3 x different weight springs come with it: 225, 350 and 400 lbs. 400lbs brand-new in packaging.
- For Geometry chart, see photos. For reference, I’m 174cm and typically run a 450 to 460mm reach on an Enduro bike.

Ryan Leech Announces SCEND Quest 365
Excited for this! I was a huge fan of Ryan's trials career and continue to enjoy - and benefit from - the perspectives, ideas, and fascinating challenges he brings to his, and others, mountain biking.

Podcast Round Up: Tahnée Seagrave on Speedsuits, Ken Roczen To MTB, Mike Levy Talks Scorpions, & More
Agreed - Levy is a wonderful podcast host. (I've not listened to the above pod yet but) as you say, that Velo podcast was exceptional because of Levy. Miss that dude - hope he's happily riding somewhere, cruising on his (relatively) skinny tyres!
