Strengths: Smooooooth ride. Keeps groundcontrol in any situation. Makes you faster, cause it is so balanced. The floating brake is a plus, and helps you through the hard braking-holes in front of hard corners ect. Sweet!Weaknesses: Hard to fit hope-brake to the floting brake mount. You have to do a custom device, for fitting the Enduro-caliber.
It might be a little too slack and long for Nordic short-couse races. Why make it possible to steepen it up 2 more degrees (69). It would make it more suited for allround DH?
And the paint: It is not nearly as good as fx Rockeymountain or Santacruz. It cracks.Bottom Line: I don't think that you can have a better preforming bike for hardcore DH. If you are in for a very fast truning machine you might want another frame... fx Nikolai Lambda

Strengths: Its a yeti, come on. Yeti is one of those original companyies out there. The bikes are sweet. Perfect Welds, Perfect Paint. The Frame looks so sleek and fast. You are buying the EXACT same frame as the pros ride. Floating Disc Brake is NICE!Weaknesses: Nothing really. The Cable guides do there job, but fro bigger hose types be sure to have some Zip ties to tie the hose to the frameBottom Line: This is truly a nice bike, Nathan Rennie , Tara Llanes , and marla streb have ridden this bike. This is a exspensive bike, but you get what u pay for. its WELL worth it. I plan on hitting all the races in northern california and riding the nothshore this coming summer with it. But if you got this bike and you would like to climb with it, i suggest you get a alternate bike, mabe a Yeti ASX or a HT, My bike weighs 47 lbs, its no lightweight but it sure is not heavy like some other bikes. This bike Floats, Suckcs up every little bump, Its truly one of the nicest Bikes ive seen.

from NCDate Reviewed: June 4, 2001
Strengths: Huge. Super long progressive shock. It has a FOX shock. Heavy for a reason. Won't break. Has floating rear disk brake. 9" of travel. 15mm rear thru-axel. Sweet, Sweet, Sweet.Weaknesses: None. Many would say the weight, but not me.Bottom Line: Even though my bike weight 47 lbs. it is a great freeride bike. Great for DH racing, Dirt jumping, big drops, and Urban Terror.If you are looking for a super strong bike and don't care about the weight. Go for this bike with a Monster T.
