YT Industries UK is selling off all of its remaining assets in an online auction, with 30 bikes among the listings, after the brand entered insolvency in September.

Auction house Marriott and Co. is hosting the sale, with 144 lots on offer. The auction kicked off on 7 October and runs until 3pm on 22 October.

The listings include mountain bikes and eMTBs, with one lot consisting of a quantity of miscellaneous MTB parts with a claimed value of £170,000.

There are also two Transit vans, electric workstands, power tools and posh coffee equipment going under the hammer.

We've rounded up some of the most interesting lots you could bid on.

Ex-demo YT mountain bikes

This YT Izzo Core 1 in XXL is lot number 10. Marriott & Co.

Firstly, there are some 30 bikes for sale. These are ex-demo bikes, so will have likely had some use, but they could sell for bargain prices.

All the lots containing bikes have already met their reserve price, so will sell for whatever price they reach.

The cheapest bike at the time of writing is lot 10, a YT Izzo Core 1 CF trail bike in XXL. Bidding has reached £694, with a full retail price of £2,699.

Most bikes on sale are eMTBs, but there are a few non-assisted bikes, such as lot 5 – a Jeffsy Core 4. Marriott & Co.

There is also a YT Jeffsy Core 4 in size Large with SRAM AXS Transmission, which is currently going for £1,010 and retails for £5,000.

Lot 34 is a YT Decoy Core 5 MX eMTB, which looks to have been used as a demonstrator. Marriott & Co.

There are electric mountain bikes galore and we like the look of lot 34: a YT Decoy MX Core 5, which has an RRP of £7,799 but is selling for £1,110 at the time of writing.

Lot 33 could be worth keeping an eye on. Marriott & Co.

The most valuable bike is lot 33, a YT Decoy SN 29 Core 4, which retails at £8,499, but is currently bid up to only £1,280.

Both these eMTB lots come with spare Fazua motors.

Parts bin special

It's difficult to make out the details of some lots from the photos, but lot 36 is valued at £170,000. Marriott & Co.

Lot 36 is made up of miscellaneous MTB parts, presumably destined for bike builds on frames that will now never arrive.

The listing's description says the stock is worth £170,000 and it’s currently at £2,600 without meeting the reserve.

Looking at the photos, it’s possible to make out what appear to be brake rotors, cassettes and even a fork hidden high up on a shelf.

Van life

Lot 1 is a long-wheelbase Ford Transit van, which could make a great stealth-camper build. Marriott & Co.

If you fancy a new van, lot 1 is a long-wheelbase, high-top Ford Transit 350 for £10,000 (and the reserve has been met). It looks perfect for some van-life adventures.

YT wizardry

Lot 95 is for a set said to be made by the team who designed the Harry Potter set. Marriott & Co.

If you fancy redecorating your house with a bang, lot 95 could be for you. It's a display set said to have been built by the Harry Potter set designers and includes a Mk1 Ford Transit van front end.

Caffeine fiends

YT UK's two-group coffee machine is up for grabs if you need a caffiene fix. Marriott & Co.

Lot 114 is a two-group coffee machine from La Spaziale, which retails for £5,699 and is currently bid to £780 with the reserve met.

Capra collectables

Three goat masks are included in the auction. Marriott & Co.

With Halloween coming up, you might want a goat's head mask. If so, you have three chances to be the winning bidder on lot 124, lot 125 and lot 126.
