What size is it? Give us a review when you get out on her! Congrats!
Nice to see that YTnis delivering. Especially the Pro Race model. Congrats and send us who dont have one more photos. PS does the bike have inner tubes from factory? Are the rims easy to make tubeless setup?

Yes they are Tubed I've not looked but they are Carbon rims so should be straightforward to set up tubeless

Mine arrived 3 weeks ago, about 10 days late but we were on holiday anyway......... Size S, really over the moon with it all, swapped the brakes out with Hope V4 that I had kicking around and a Hope 50mm stem to get a little more weight over the front, never tried the saddle as a lot of people griped about it, slapped my trusty SDG Belair on:

Were the rims taped ready for tubeless? I'm thinking that's the case as there were 2 tubeless valves in the bits box! What pressures are you running?
Yes the rims were taped. By coincidence I lost my tire levers from the bag a day before I took the tubes out so I had to do it all by hands. It was surprisingly easy. Just pushed tire bead into middle of the rim to pop it off. Tires sealed with just a floor pump - valve core removed for quick pumping to seat, added sealant and pumped back up with valve core installed.
I'm experimenting with pressures, going down from 24 psi on my first ride. So far I rode only nearby trails which are blue at best, but there are few rocky sections. Tried 17 PSI last time, which seemed fine in front but felt a bit soft on the back.
