Rewinding the clock to 2008, YT Industries ignited its journey by releasing the DIRTLOVE: an accessible, high-performance dirt jump hardtail ready to throwdown tricks and stomp landings. Now, the DIRTLOVE has evolved into an aluminum, slopestyle-proven platform, ready to up your amplitude and build your trick bag.

DIRTLOVE is the bike that put YT on the map, and I’m stoked to be part of that legacy. Being given the freedom and opportunity to take the platform to the next level is the dream, and I can’t wait to see where it takes me this season.

Frame and features
Fedko was involved throughout the development stage and has helped YT sculpt an agile frame with tight geometry, capable of performing at the highest level. It has the hallmarks of a YT frame, including the signature YT Headbox design and clean lines from the custom, hydroformed aluminum tubing. YT cut no corners here – durability is baked in, negating the need for extra, bulky gussets and reinforcements.

When slammed, the ultra-tight 375mm chainstays are quick to manual, while the bolted, 7075 sliding dropouts with built-in tensioners provide a bombproof, non-slip connection for reliable chain tension. The routing wages war against tangled cables and is optimized for use with the aftermarket Title G1 Gyro system, compatible with the existing Cane Creek headset and spacer setup. Two sizes are available, catering for riders from 150cm – 200cm, and with adjustable dropouts and size-specific chainstays, DIRTLOVE makes it easy to dial in your balance point.
