BIKE OF THE WEEK: YT SZEPTER

Becoming sovereign is no easy task. Being empowered to take control of your journey with grandmaster confidence while having fun every step of the way is an enviable achievement to many. Well, envy no more. The specialists of good times have developed a new way of uncaging your potential – it’s time to take the Szepter and conquer your own path. Featuring the latest SRAM XPLR components, an Ultra-Modulus carbon fiber frame and a RockShox Rudy XLPR fork, the SZEPTER supports the call to expand your all-day adventures and challenge the conventional commute.

Young Talent. These two words are what YT stands for, but it’s about far more than age – it signifies that it’s never too late to try something new, explore new ground, and discover your own Young Talent. YT stands by this ethos, and with the Szepter, the brand makes fresh tracks into new territory, bringing an intoxicating blend of confidence, efficiency, and raw capability to a new gravel platform. The drive to explore is hidden within us, waiting to be incaged, and the Szepter is the key.
