Weaknesses:
with the pro-pedal off the bike wallows in its travel, slow speed handling.
Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:
Carbon Enduro w/ Fox vanilla 140
Bottom Line:
I've had this bike for a year and have ridden it on all kinds of trails: wide open rocky powerlines to the switchback frenzied to the buff and fast. The bike has been fantastic, it just begs you to go faster and with its low center of gravity, quick and accurate steering, and plush suspension you're more than willing to comply.
On the downside, I usually keep the propedal on its lowest setting unless I am doing some significant roadwork and turn it off only on long tech. downhills. Otherwise, when pedaling it with the pp off the bike feels sluggish. The last bit might just be me, but when the trail turns slow, steep and technical the bike's ultra-responsive handling can make for some nervous moments.
Overall I love the bike and I'm a better biker because of it

Strengths:
Propedal, geometry make uphill easy. Runs over or drops over anything on downhill. Very good all-mountain bike that is perfect for the intermediate rider moving to the next level.
Weaknesses:
Carbon rear triangle--crack in seat stay without any known trauma.
Yeti, despite cool "tribal" image, does not adequately back product...had to send off to another company to get fixed at a reasonable price.

Bottom Line:
Great bike, bad company...ie, the company does NOT stand behind their product.
Would not recommend. I've damaged several bikes over the years and I've never been treated as badly by a company...must be tough times at Yeti. Most makers of mountain bikes, especially "all-mountain" bikes, rigorously support their products, realizing that these bikes are supposed to be ridden hard.
Lest readers feel I'm being unfairly harsh, I called and talked to several people at Yeti on several different occasions.
I guess Yeti has gone corporate, putting the short-term bottom line above long-term reputation.

Bottom Line:
very fun bike that loves to be ridden aggressively. efficient climber, very stable descender.
the fellow below me who complained about the rear triangle folding -- hey, if you buy a used bike, it's not necessarily the bike's fault when it fails. most any thoughtful person should be able to understand this. a used bike comes with no assurances on what sorts of treatment it suffered under the prior owner(s) and rider(s). a folded rear triangle suggests massive abuse, not a flaw in Yeti's design.
I would buy another 575.

Carbon rear end - a load of rubbish... I have never had issues with a bike before.. the rear folded on both sides of the chain stay and non stay side... that wouldn't happen with an alu bike. Equally, £450 to replace and you have to send that back to Yeti. I haven't battered that frame at all... but stones hitting underneath must be what did for it... very disappointing, as I loved the bike. But I wouldn't get another. I bought the frame 2nd hand, but in new condition for Leisure Lakes, so I didn't have the guarantee (£800 uk price)

Bottom Line:
This is the 'honeymoon' review and the 575 hasn't made me sleep on the couch, yet. In fact, she is still puttin' out just like our wedding night. I will submit other reviews periodically after the romance has worn off a little.
For now, this bike is everything I thought it was and more. I spent a fair chunk of change on the Slayer a few years back and that bike ripped, too. However, I realized that it wasn't "The Bike" - aka the one that best suited my riding style. I started taking demo rides on various other bikes that have more slack geometry, longer top tubes, 5-6" travel but with efficient climbing, bombs down hill yet won't cause you to blow a gasket on the brutal, never-ending climbs because it weighs 35 lbs, etc, etc. No comment on the other bikes I demo'ed (see above). The Yeti 575 was "The One". With the RP23's pro pedal on or off this bike rips uphill (I recommend climbing with it on = even better). The race build weighs in somewhere in the upper 26 lb range. It descends like a dream through fast single track, burly rock gardens, wet roots, you name it. It is truly an all mountain gem. I have ridden lines through baby skull rock gardens covered in sand at full speed that have nearly killed me in the past with no problems on this bike.
Take the time to set up the suspension sag for each ride (although on many of my local rides it stays the same) and tune it to your liking. Like others have said before me - the front end floats a little on steep climbs. You learn to lean into it and get on the nose of the saddle a little more. I attribute this to the Fox Float 140 shock. It rides at 140 mm full length 100% of the time so it keeps the front end a little more upright. This is absolutely fantastic for descents. My first upgrade may be a TALAS so I can reduce travel on the super steep climbs. A fellow 575 rider went to the TALAS and has eliminated the floating issue while still enjoying the full travel and geometry of the fork on descents (150mm travel in his case). The 2009 has the Float 140 RLC with the 15mm thru axle. It really stiffens up the front end and is an amazing fork. Other reviewers have complained about pedal strike. The BB height is a little lower on the 575 than some other longer travel bikes but this adds stability to the ride. Be a better rider and learn how to stagger those pedal strokes through the rock gardens.
Bottom line - this bike is amazing. Again, like others have said before me, this bike has a soul. There is something about it ... I honestly clean climbs and rock gardens on this bike - up and down - that I have never been able to clean before. It inspires confidence and rides like a dream. My wife gave me a green light to get my dream bike after my company gave out some nice bonuses. I got the Yeti 575.

Bottom Line:
I have owned this bike for 6 months and it has been ridden hard at Glentress, Innerleithen and Coed Y Brenin as well as round the local woods. It is superfast when it needs to be, tracking the trails like glue and climbs anything that the riders legs can power. Techical rocky sections feel much more rideable because this bike is so stable and reassuring. the harder you ride it the better it responds :-)
It is comfortable for all day riding - just completed 80+ miles this week - and with the rear shock set at the firmer end of the sag guidelines I ride it with pro-pedal off for at least 90% of the ride including steep climbs.
This bike delivers every ride and when you finish a ride you just want to get out again and again and again!

Bottom Line:
This isn't a "just bought the bike and it's the best thing ever review". I've ridden thousands of miles, dealt with routine maintenance and endured some serious crashes. I still love this bike.
I have raced this bike with good success for three years. I'm a middle of the pack sport class rider. I'm sure I would make the podium more often if I had a race specific ride, but there is a lot of satisfaction knowing that the leader knows he was nearly beat by a guy in cargo shorts, sporting a t-shirt, and riding an all-mountain bike.
I also hit the trails very aggressively with no worries of damaging... o.k. a little worry about my lightweight wheels. 5+ inches of suspension is more than I need for Michigan, but use all of it during my trips to Colorado.
I have ridden races in snow and sand, pedaled up 13,000 passes, and blasted down those same passes. If you can only afford one do-it-all bike, you will not regret a 575.

Never thought I could replace my Titus Switchblade but the 575 does everything better. Frame is balanced and rails through turns when you stay centered. Suspension stays fully active; no brake-jack on this single pivot design. Lands like a cat on 3'-4' drops and speeds away without complaint. The stock Mavic Crossride wheels are suprisingly stout for budget hoops. Their hubs have been an issue in the past on two sets of Crossmax's so wheels will be upgraded at some point.

Excellent all-around Bike!! Will at Full Cycles did a great job of building and shipping my dream bike. I got the crazy yellow color and really like it. Thought it would be too much travel for some of the flatter trails, but it is just a tad slower than the more XC oriented Blur. Overall, MUCH better on climbing and descending. Pricey with the economy these days, but AWESOME.
After a stretched-out Blur, the upright geometry took a little getting used to. But after a few months, I love it. Much better for getting off the back of seat in rough stuff. A few minutes of sag setup, and the bike feels perfect.
If you can have just one bike, make it a 575 - you won't be sorry.

I bought a small 2007 frame and built it from scratch to my specs and it has been the most satisfying purchase to date. The ride is incredible. It climbs up the most technical climbs imaginable and descends faster than I thought was possible. I'm still learning nuances to railing turns and allowing the bike to do its thing. The only gripe I have is there is some pedal stike pedalling throughrock gardens but I've adjusted to that. The suspension is beautiful and the RP23 allows for a nice change when the trail turns flat. The key to this bike is adjusting the sag according to Yeti's specs. This bike is for someone who doesn't wish they had a bigger bike for some of their local trails.

Really great climber, especially on technical stuff. Bomb down with confidence. Holds a good line, but you don't have to. As I've gotten more familiar with the bike, I find I'm able to better take advantage of it's capacity to hold a line in choppy terrain and take hits on jumps and drops. Geometry works well for me, more upright than Specialized Stumpjumper. And it's gorgeous, consistently one of the best looking bikes I see on the trails.

I bought the 2008 Yeti 575 in August and love it; absolutely no regrets. comfortable ride. It's a pricey ride, but worth every penny. I do mostly cross-country riding and debated if the 575 had too much travel. but there's no real weight penalty and I adjust the Fox RP23 to stiffen it up a little. I find myself really appreciating the extra travel, making for plush descent down choppy, baby-head, rock and root trails. Great control when getting knocked around, but also on tight single track. I expect I'll have this bike a long time, and I'm excited to test it on more All Mountain terrain, like Downieville.

Bottom Line:
The 575 is a great all around bike. I sold my Nomad and picked up the 575 because I wanted a lighter bike that was as capable as the Nomad. I looked at the Ibis MOJO and the Turner ML II. This bike has not let me down yet- it was a little bit of a chore getting use to the geometry but was worth it in the end. The anodized frame is stellar- I picked it up used off of Ebay and the frame looked perfect out of the box. I built it up light (26.7 pounds) with a 32 TALAS and light tires but found this build a bit light for the trails here in Calgary. I upgraded to the 36 TALAS and wider 2.35 Nevegal tire up front (2.1 in the back) which really brings this bike to life(28.5 pounds).
Buying the frame used saved me over $1200 so the value rating is at an all time high! I loved my Nomad and the 575 allows me to not miss it at all.
The one concern I had when looking into this frame was the single pivot characteristic of locking out during hard braking. This is not an issue with the 575- this frame feels buttery druing all aspectes of riding including HARD braking on nasty terrain.
Bottom line: This is a great all mountain trail bike for aggressive riders. This is not a freeride bike or a downhill bike but makes for a great all around ride.

Stiff frame, bottom bracket, rear triangle areas do not flex. Solid build for the '08 575. Awesome on descents and just as good on climbing. I put this bike through lots of All Mountain type of riding and it shines. DT Swiss wheels superb, compliments rest of bikes stiffness.

Geometry takes some getting used to. Front end gets light and will come up off the ground when climbing aggressively. Make sure you lean forward, really far forward when climbing. Yeti only specs out Fox. Fox RLC 140mm fork that came on bike had to go. Too much flex, quick release to flimsy. Now sporting Marzocchi 55 ETA w/ 20mm thru axle = much better.
Similar Products Used:
None. My first FS.
Bike Setup:
What Yeti specs out. Ditched Fox for Marzocchi. 180mm front rotor. Kenda's, not Maxxis.
Bottom Line:
Buy this bike. If you like to climb as much as you descend this is for you. If ordering thru JensonUSA, call them, make sure you know what kind of rotor size you are getting. Spec sheet says 160-203mm, does not define size. You will get 160mm (XC size rotor). 4 stars: Fox (not a fan), geometry induces a light weight feeling up front and causes a "climbing bob."

the Product's rear swing arm, bearing kit ---i weigh 185-190 lbs and am 6'3". It's not like i'm some fat pig or something. I don't jump stuff, well some stuff.
The bike from the get go was a little on the heavy. However, i am used to heavy since i rambled every other ride on the Heckler. I thought this 575 was a great climber and same on descent.
What a shock, after 1080 miles (May 08 through November 08), to learn from my dealer after dropping it off for an Avid Juicy rear brake seal bust (warranty)-that the rear triangle was cracked. Unbeknown(st) to me, i was riding this for who knows how long with a cracked carbon fiber rear triangle.
I almost feel cheated that i didn't get in a wreck on account of it, allowing me to sue (just kidding - c'mon, i live in California).

Review of the newer 575s with the formed top tube.
Rental bike out in Moab - what a ride! Fantastic bike. On a 4" travel XC bike back home and rode the Ellsworth last year and found pedal/chain feedback distracting. Was a disappointment.
This year on the Yeti was epic. Quick on the turns like my XC bike, super stable on the descents, nimble climbing, no pedal feedback regardless of gear combination. They really did get the faux-bar linkage tuning right. Didn't really notice the extra travel until descending and then you could just point the bike and let it rip. Truly amazing do-it-all bike.
Not the best for weight-conscious XC guys but if you want a bike you don't have to worry about when ripping a downhill then this is a good choice. Served us well on a rainy day down Porky's from Hazard. Couldn't see the views so nothing to do but hammer. Awesome.
Next bike will be a ~6" trail bike and this one is very high on the list.

Bottom Line:
Finding this bike was a process of 4 months of sifting through a sea of information of what is quality and what is junk in the mtn bike world. MTBR website was instrumental and reviews like this were key in filtering through to find the best bike for me and my budget. I feel like I have to post this review to help the next guy that might be trying to figure out what is the best do-it-all bike that they could afford. Fell back in love with mtn biking this past spring and was having a blast on my '96 Specialized Rockhopper and using mtn biking to get/stay in shape for the motocross season. I found I could climb and get ahead of my buds on fs bikes but quickly saw that there was something to these full suspended bikes. Got frustrated when I would be picking my lines or finessing down some steep or downhill sections and my buds would just bomb the entire section almost running me over, with no regard for lines or obstacles. Had a chance to try some good bikes but ultimately settled on the Titus and the Yeti. Had a chance to ride the Titus and it is a beast. I am a HUGE fan. But in trying to build out a Titus and struggling with what I could afford, found this Yeti that was essentially brand new and built beyond what I could have ever imagined. It came better than advertised (thanks again Bob) and for the price I felt I couldn't lose. Put it together and took one ride on it. Found some things that I could not clear up(I'm very picky with shifting and brakes), so had my local proshop tune it. From relacing the wheels to checking torque on every bolt on the bike, to checking crank assembly(recommend facing the frame for the ATLAS AM to eliminate any of the problems I've heard of happening) the bike was ready to take out and stand on it. The bike flat ripped!!! It rides in any position staying back to neutral to over the handlebars or pulling to climb, it hooks up and is amazingly forgiving while being responsive. It responds to any body change and quickly. My first couple downhills, drop-offs, steeps, I took lines I was familiar with, but by midway through, I had the confidence to not worry about any rut, root, rock line or obstacle and hit it at speed. Brakes...anyone that says that Juicy has problems with not being progressive needs to check them again. Found by going to a 4mm line the brakes were amazingly progressive while still retaining the immediate lockup if needed. Friends that have ridden it say they would be over the handlebars first trip, but I like the sensitivity the brakes have. The FOX front and back have me doing a TON of adjusting, but it all seems to work and its just a matter of dialing it in. Cool to be able to make subtle changes ride to ride depending on conditions and what I'm feeling. Like my mx bike SAG is huge to get the suspension working. Found 215-220 psi of pressure suits my 205lbs to achieve 20% sag. By the way medium fits my 6' frame perfectly. Standover is spot on. ProPedal flat works and I find myself keeping it in that position since it soaks up big hits with no problems, but gives good efficiency getting up climbs. I have never carried the pace that I have on this bike and see very quickly I won't be able to ever ride the Yeti to its potential. But it will be with me as I evolve in becoming a better rider and have fun doing it. From looks to finish and quality to stiffness, to being a rocket I could not be happier with this bike and build and truly feel lucky to have it. I am officially part of the YETI TRIBE!!!

I can ride all day on this bike and I wont experience the rattle that I feel on my previous 4 bikes. The only issue here is the power of my legs against my own weight.

This review is for the new 08 model. Didn't ride the older model, but given the deserved proportions, I know now why a Yeti is a Yeti. You can only discover why if you have one.

Say whatever you want, you will only find that in a Yeti.

The Yeti 575 was just a perfect compromise of all the things I wanted in an all-mountain bike. Good selection of components out of the box for a fair price and the bike holds up well under my 200+ pounds and I am NOT nice to it on the trails. I think this bike is competitive with all the other bike costing $1500 more.

Really happy with this machine so far- I'm a long time HT fan who's finally stepped up to full suss. I went for the Yeti as I thought I could combine long travel with a good strength to weight ratio and good pedalling performacne. So far I've been blown away by how much better this machine is on long hardcore rides where you can just get away with so much more as well as save energy. Those rock gardens become that much easier and new lines suddenly appear. It's going to take a while for me to get near the limits of the bike but it'll be fun getting there. It doesn't seem to have slowed down my XC performance either- I've raced this on the Propedal setting and beaten guys on Ti. hard tails. Saying this, the course would need to be technical enough to warrant a bike like this and there are probably better pure XC choices. If you like riding very technical trails this is a really versatile bike that can be built in many ways to suit many different types of rider from aggresive XC to 'freeride'.

Bottom Line:
I decided after 3 seasons on my SC Superlight to upgrade to a light, long travel frame. I was looking for more comfort for long epics, and for a something that would handle the technical demands (both up and down) of the riding here in Rocky Mountains of western Canada. Unfortunately I wasn't able to do much in the way of demo'ing, but I talked to some experienced riders, and spent several hours pouring over the reviews on mtbr.com and in various MTB publications. My shortlist consisted of the Ibis Mojo, the Titus Motolite, the Blur LT and the Yeti 575. Forturnately for me, my LBS, Calgary Cycle carries all 4, and was therefore able to give me what I thought to be unbiased opinions on these framesets all of which they said were excellent choices, by the way. After some deliberation between the Ibis and the Yeti, I decided to pull the trigger on the Yeti. No real reason for this, the two supposedly handle very similarly (I haven't riden the Mojo)and are almost exactly the same travel and weight even tho the Yeti has an aluminum front triangle. I kind of like the looks of the Yeti over the Mojo - it's a little less flashy. Bottom Line? (finally) There really is no comparison to the Yeti and anything else I have ridden. Once the suspension is set up properly (I recommend having this done by a pro or an experienced tech-head)this thing is buttery smooth. I can now clean techical climbs with ease where I didn't have a hope on my Superlight. Incidentally, I built the Yeti using all of the components off of my Superlight (except for the seatpost and fr derailleur) so my review really focuses on the frameset itself. The Yeti seems to have a massive "sweet spot". On climbs I find I won't lose the front or rear wheel no matter how steep or technical the climb. I just centre my weight, and hammer the pedals either in or out of the saddle. Although I haven't come close to pushing the Yeti to its limits on fast technical descents (and likely never will) I can say that because of its stability, stiffness and plush travel, it inspires confidence.
A final note regarding sizing. At 5'11" I am right on the bubble between the large and medium frame. My reseach told me that riders my height usually opted for the medium frame. However, the guys at my LBS were adamant that I would prefer the large, and if I didn't agree with them after riding it, they would swap the large out for a medium (provided I didn't damage it). Well, they were absolutley correct the large frame is perfect for me, it handles like a dream - thanks Stuart and Derek!
If you are considering a long travel, light "do it all" ride, pull the trigger on a Yeti 575 - you won't regret it.

Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:
Top of the line package from Yeti.
Bottom Line:
The geometry of the bike was what I was looking for in an all mountain set-up. Too many other companies have great bikes but offer very short top tubes and head angles that are not laid back enough.
The bike climbs well but you must use the lock-out on the RP23. My shock was PUSHED and that made all the difference in the world.
The bike descends very well also. Not as laterally stiff as I would like.
My big problem was the maintenance on the main pivot. I haven't had the bike quite one year yet but am on my seventh set of 6903 main pivot bearings. Yes, I know the bearing part number well. It starts with creaking and then eventually loud popping with out of the saddle efforts. I made my own tool to press the bearings in and out and keep a set of bearings on hand most of the time. For whatever reason, the drive side bearing always feels worse than the non-drive side.
I am a larger rider at 6-1 and 220ish, descend moderately aggressive and ride frequently. I do not power wash the bike. My feelings are that this bike will do fine for lighter riders but not heavy guys.
If I were to re-design the bearings, they would be wider and double the diameter.
Chain stretch is inevitable with single pivot bikes. My Superlight was notorious for going through chains, 6 a year. The Yeti is no different.
I have since sold my Yeti and have gone back to what works for me, Turner SPOT 5.5.
I you are considering the Yeti, check the bathroom scale before spending big bucks. My guess is a 200lb rider might be the bikes limit.

Bottom Line:
I am a huge 6ft 7in human who weighs in around 230 on my heaviest days and 220 on my lightest. For all of you large humans out there this bike rides really well and the reach is wonderful. Yeti says that the bike is designed around the straight seat post but if you have long legs and long arms I suggest the setback by Thomson and a 100mm stem. Leverage is critical when climbing so the open cockpit is essential for us gangly folk. Top tube is 25" and seat tube is 21.5" and this bike with the RP23 rides really well on everything from downhills to scampering up those steep hills. The shock is set around 250lbs for my 230lb weight and I have found that Yeti linkage needs the shock set an additional 20psi for optimum pedaling efficiency. This bike have been in my possession for only a week now but it rides so well and I purchased the frame from Sunnyside Sports here in Bend, Oregon. They have been wonderful with everything and their knowledge is second to none. For me it is crucial to find a great dealer along with a great bike because there is nothing more frustrating than finding the bike you love and the dealer sucks. Yeti is one of the few bike manufacturers that will allow you to send you bike straight to them without going through a dealer. If the dealer you work with stink then you can send straight to Yeti....Thanks Yeti for that option. The big companies do not offer this so it is good to support a smaller company.

Strengths:
A true 'do it all' design, much stiffer, particularly the rear end over the previous 575 model. Great price compared to a few other 'boutique' frame sets, particularly when you compare the carbon rear triangle on the Yeti. Build quality is superb, as good, if not better than Santa Cruz, and much, much better than Intense in my opinion!
Weaknesses:
Maybe the rear mech cable routing is a little messy, but that is a very minor gripe.
Similar Products Used:
Tried the Santa Cruz Blur LT, Intense EVP 5.5, owned a RM Slayer, ridden any number of of Specc'y Enduro's, but my previous ride was the old Yeti 575 version. I loved that bike, but the new model is a stepped improvement in every sense. This is my third Yeti and I love 'em.
Bike Setup:
Medium Turquoise frame with carbon rear and RP23 shock, Fox Talas 36'ers, Chris King headset, Thomson post and stem, Raceface carbon bars, DT rims & spokes on Hope Pro 2 hubs with XTR drive train and brakes, topped off with the new Yeti saddle.
Bottom Line:
When I first climbed aboard the bike, my first impression was that it felt much more like a down hill bike than the previous model. However, once out on the trail I was immediately at home, particularly attacking corners and berms as the bike corners like it is on rails. It is just so stable, it really allows you to attack the trail. The stiffness of both the front and rear triangles really stood out over the previous model. I immediately felt comfortable on the bike once I got going and my confidence went up dramatically. I don't no whether the move to 160mm 36'ers made the difference to the first impression, but they are definitely a great match for this bike (ran Fox Vanilla 140mm on the previous model). I would recommend the adjustable Talas model though, because left at 160mm setting the front wheel can go a little light making it harder to track on the steepest climbs. I therefore move it down to 130mm for these (I've never had need to switch to 100mm setting though). Overall, I am delighted with it, it is so stable, corners brilliantly and is great on the downhills, really inspires confidence, and is still a decent climber. It does it all with ease, and after three months I have got nowhere near it's limits. I can't wait to take it to the French Alps next month. Cheers and enjoy!

Bottom Line:
I love this Bike!!! It does everything well and nothing bad. The handling has allowed me to be come a much better rider. At 6' 220 I needed a bike that can handle weight and power. This bike delivers! The Industry Nine Wheels absolutely rock! I never new what a difference great wheels can make. The Fox Shocks offer great performance and adjustability and the X.O drivetrain has made me another SRAM convert.

Bike Setup:

Bottom Line:
Rode large Santa Cruz always, yet was pondering the size for a Yeti. I`m 182 cm so borderline between med and large, but so happy I picked a medium as the Yeti is a long beast and I`m able to still run a shortish stem to hook into the DH riding that I love. Up hills with 160mm on the front, I find it a little vague, but with the travel spacer (10mm) that I`m about to fit, it should be enough to sort that out. Best bike I`ve ever owned for "Doing the LOT!"

Strengths:
Amazing looks. Great Colour. Light weight for travel and strength .Geometry/handling with a six inch fork. Climbs very well,very confident on the downhills. quite on the trail too. I love it. Fox rp23 is simple and works very well
Weaknesses:
None yet. But have reservations about the carbon rear end nothing tangable but i'm just a bit warey as its the first carbon bike i've owned, i'll update my review if anything untoward should happen. Rear tyre clearance - says ok for 2.5 tyre but I'm running 2.3 maxxis and have tried a 2.3 conti and they are both very close to the carbon stays. Not good if you live in mud land but not a problem if you live in L.A

Bottom Line:
Highly recommended all mountain capability bike. enought travel to soke up everything in its way. Light enough to enjoy on the way up. Rp23 is simple and works great. If considering one of these frames double check sizing as i'm 6ft1 and according to yeti i should be on a large. I opted for a medium after measuring various bikes and demo'ing. Thet are biult on the largish size if you ask me. The handling of theframe is amazing with the 6inch fork. Rails round corners allowing high exit speeds. Takes to the air with poise and balance. Built with choice components it should be able to break sub 27ibs.

Bottom Line:
I have been looking for this bike all my life! It is stonkingly sexy, has beautifully shaped tubes, rides uphill as good as my ti hardtail but beats the hell out of it going down... Just sit back, keep your weight low and dont touch the brakes, wow. I tried many other bikes before I fell in love with the 575 and none came close - I have a lightweight setup because I dont do too many mad decents but I need to feel in control and relaxed on the downhills and I love speed, this bike gives you all these qualities in bucket loads.

Purchased At:
BikeHQ
Strengths:
Weight - Even with burly bits on it, this bike is LIGHT, which is very noticable on climbs. Geometry - With a 150mm fork (535mm axel-crown) it's nicely balanced for the downhills, while still retaining the ability to track well on the climbs. While I have a travel adjustable fork on it, I've only used this on 2 climbs in the 3 months I've been riding it, and that was on some pretty silly steep climbs. The low BB and relatively slack angles mean it's great fun at high speed, and loves railing berms and drifting into corners Rides like a lot bigger bike than it is! It feels closer to my old bighit than any trailbike I've ridden in terms of flex, and can really be thrown around whilst tracking well. The DHX Air, while a little intimidating to set up (more adjustment than you can poke a stick at) feels fantastic, and the propedal platform does an excellent job of reducing wasted energy whilst climbing. The bottom out resistance is great too, while I have undoubtably bottomed out the shock, I culdn't tell you when or where, because I just never felt it!
Weaknesses:
The Turquoise team colour on the 08 frames just didn't look right without another colour to set it off, so I commited heresy and bought a non-turquoise Yeti. I have the anodized black finish, which looks great and is very durable, but its a prick to keep clean..
The only other (possible) weakness I've found so far, is that with the fork wound down to 115mm (giving an axel to crown distance of 500mm) I have to be very careful picking lines on the climbs, lest I clip a pedal. It does however make for quite aggressive climbing geometry for that really steep stuff. With the fork wound out, I clip less pedals than I used to on my Kona, which had quite a high BB.
I suppose you could argue cost, but you get what you pay for.
I'm a (semi)reformed downhiller, following an injury I sold my DH bike and my xc frame to fund getting a new 08 575 frame, and built my 575 up as an agressive trailbike. It probably has some heavier duty bits than most 575's, but even so, I've found myself climbing quicker than my old trailbike, and descending as fast if not faster than my freeride bike. I'm a lot more comfortable riding hard on this than on the 07 575 that I demoed, they really are different bikes, with the 08 being a lt more solid, for no extra weight. This is a bike that can be ridden FAST- up and down. It feels god in the air, although I'd be hesitant to try any big stuff on it. But thats probably me more than the bike. Likewise with it being such a light frame, if built with lightweight parts, it could quite happily be raced for XC, if thats your thing.
Bottom line- I bought it for the fun factor, and I exactly what I was after. She's a keeper. You can't have mine. Get your own. :p

More than pleased with this bike. I am a really heavy rider in the 220-230 range and I put a pretty good beating on it. No signes of failure it just keeps begging for more.
No peddle bob! I know the fork has the lockout feature that is suposed to make climbing easier... but even set plush I have noticed little to no bob on climbs.
This is my first fork shock that is spring only not Air or a combination of the two. I am enjoying the spring feel in the vanilla RL fork. Nice and plush and consistant all the way through the range.
I am not a uber rider but do hit little drops and jumps and this bike just begs for more even from my phat arse. Combine that with solid Customer Service and staff and you gotta a can't lose bargain.

Bottom Line:
I bought this bike as a frame only on a recent trip to Moab. I brought all my parts with me and had Poison Spider set it up for me. After the build, 5 full days of riding Moab and Fruita ensued; a perfect test for the bike. Our first trail, Kokopelli down, via the shuttle from town. There is no bump this thing does not soak up, and God knows this is a crazy downhill trail. I am not a techno weenie that can tell you about how the suspension performs under various conditions, all I can say is that it felt soft when it needed to and helped me climb the few climbs like I was on a hardtail.
Back in Canada, back on my favorite trails for a like for like comparison. This bike is crazy! Never have I been able to ride as aggressive and with as much control. Kingdom Trails was another test. We climbed all the way up to Dead Moose Alley (for those who know it), in or out of the saddle, WOW! Don't even get me started with the switchback descent!
After quite a bit of research, I chose the Yeti and am in no way unsatisfied. I recommend this bike for all riders, those wanting to upgrade from a hardtail to a dually, those with XC duals who want more travel and not pay a huge weight penalty and those who just want to have fun! I never thought I would say this, but price has no object when you can have as much fun on a bike. Save up your cents and indulge, you will not regret it!

Strengths:
Incredible travel for a bike that is not much heavier than my Dean Oscar hardtail. Fox makes the plushest suspension around. It's mas grande fun being able to XC, huck and downhill all on one bike. Haven't tried the '07 XTR stuff but I can't imagine it's any better than the SRAM X.0 speced on this bike.
Weaknesses:
Only that it can be a little difficult to sort the suspension if you're not experienced, but only because the Fox stuff is so adjustable. Oh,and the Maxxis Minion DHs pretty much suck, they went almost immediately.
Similar Products Used:
Tested the Klein Palomino, Specialized Enduro and a few others, the 575 is the best fit for me.
Bike Setup:
Mostly stock but I had to remove an inch off each end of the handlebar, I just can't come to grips with the wide bars in vogue right now. I also added tubeless wheels along with WTB Mutano Raptor 2.1s. Now it's perfect!
Bottom Line:
I don't understand why there aren't more reviews for the 575. It is such an incredible bike that they must sell pretty well, especially at the price. I know, I know, $2600 isn't cheap or even relatively affordable but this bike is absolutely worth it. And $2600 certainly isn't over the top compared with other high-end scoots. Do yourself a favor, if you enjoy XC with some downhill and hucking thrown in, ride this bike before you buy something else!

Although not necessarily a weakness, once the rear suspension begins its compression stroke, it tends to go deep into its travel. A heavy rider may not benefit from this effect but it provides a 160 lb rider a very plush ride.

I love it, my choice at the local bike shop was a specialized sx and the yeti 575. Thats what I had it narrowed down to. The yeti was 7 or 8 lb.'s lighter, pedaled like a hard tail, and the suspension feels bottomless. There was no contest. Yeti 575 is an excellent mtb.
