If so, please can you summarise what they say about the YT Industries Wicked 150? It seems to be the only UK media coverage I can see.

It doesn't say much yet- wider bar, shorter stem, rides well, fork is soft. Kind of initial impressions, which is fair enough considering they've only had it a month.

Thanks munrobiker, for some reason I was under the impression they had been testing it for a longer period.

Probably will say it's heavy, they measured the geometry and head angle was 0.2degrees different to spec and it's not as good as a specialised whilst marking it down for not having a spec as good as a bike twice the price

Nah, he's behind the times- it'd be not as good as an Orange rather than a Specialized, and its 900mm wide bars would be too narrow for trail use. Also they'd order it one size too big because "we usually prefer bigger bikes", then complain that it's either too long or too tall.

A month isn't time to write a review?

even if it's more insightful than the usual crap, that's a joke.
