a All Mountain Rider Date Reviewed: April 6, 2013 Strengths: Climbs great, descends great. 26.25 lbs w/ nearly 6" of travel! Weaknesses: Rear can flex (I have the carbon rear triangle). I flip the pro-pedal on when climbing and off to descend. (not really a weakness, but the bike would "bob" too much while climbing without having it on for my taste.) Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Too many to pick just one. Duration Product Used: 5 seasons, going on 6. Similar Products Used: Tried various full suspension and hard-tail 29er's before buying. Bike Setup: Full XTR, egg beater pedals.

from snowmass village Date Reviewed: March 30, 2009 Strengths: I really love the way the bike goes up and down hills. With the propedal on the bike doesn't bob at all. Going down hill the bike is very confidence inspiring. It has a great smooth ride. You can climb up steep hills without the bike wandering very much. It has great clearance when going through rock gardens too. Weaknesses: With the bike having a high bottom bracket it seems a bit tipy. You can pedal through anything but at slow speeds through technical stuff it seems a bit wobbly. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: maybe lunch loops? Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $3800.00 Purchased At: ute city cycles in c Similar Products Used: Specialized Epic, Stumpjumper Pro, Yeti ASR. Bike Setup: Fox Float rlc, Fox rp23, Mavic crossmax slr, Sram x9, Avid juicy 7. Thompson seat and stem, monkey light bars.

from Ontario, OR Date Reviewed: January 23, 2008 Strengths: Pretty much everything. Goes up, goes down, no problems. Size small frame ('07 model) has TONS of clearance! I race XC and Super D, and this bike does both very well. Switch the RP3 Propedal from on to off and the bike goes from lycra racer boy to downhill demon. I haven't weighed it, but it doesn't disappoint. Weaknesses: None so far. None. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $3500.00 Purchased At: LBS Similar Products Used: Bought the bike after my 2006 Specialized Stumpjumper Pro (POS) had multiple problems and Specialized wouldn't warranty it. Pray you never have a warranty on a Specialized bike. By the way, this bike kicks a$$ over the Stumpy anyway, and it uses a nice, dependable, replaceable FOx shock. Bike Setup: 2008 Talas RLC, SRAM XO, Mavic Crossmax SSX and Industry Nine wheels, Formula Oro Puro brakes (Sweet!), '08 XTR crank

from Aurora CO Date Reviewed: September 4, 2007 Strengths: This bike is a blast. It climbs great, it descends even better. It's super light for a 5.75 bike. I feel I can climb technical sections better and can descend faster. Weaknesses: Slight bob. I contribute this more to the shock which is a RP3. I demo'd a 2007 with a rp23 and it definetely had less BOB in the hardest propedal option.

from Beijing Date Reviewed: July 12, 2006 Strengths: Unique (not many Yeti's driving around here in mainland China - the first 575 that I know about..), sexy look, plush, climbs the trails like a goat, gives a bunch of riding confidence (switchbacks, rocks, slippery roots are all no problem anylonger).

from Prosper, TX, USA Date Reviewed: June 24, 2006 Strengths: rides lighter than it is, climbs better than my old hardtail, 6" of full suspension soaks up most of the chatter. Easy to work on. Warranty support, full 5 years! Weaknesses: had to replace the frame after about 6 months. there was a cracked weld on the bottom bracket. Yeti didn't blink twice on the warranty, the Yeti reps were in town for a race and called in for a replacement immediatly. I'm not a big fan of how the rear D. cables have to be run. Also didn't like the XTR drive train components that came with the bike. The rear D would ALWAYS need adjusting. Between the Shimano components being touchy, my hard riding style and the cable routing the combination just wasn't working. Switched to Sram, everything rocks now. Watch the bolts on the linkage, they do loosen up. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Johnson's Branch Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $2600.00 Purchased At: slightly used from local rider Similar Products Used: liked this so much, I went out and bought a Yeti AS-r carbon. Bike Setup: Sram XO grip, XO rear d, XT front d. Crossmax XL wheels, Maxxis Crossmark UST, thompson stem and seatpost. XTR cranks. Gobi saddle. Hayes brakes. Eggbeater pedals.
