Date Reviewed: August 31, 2001 | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Purchased At: | cambriabike.com | | 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. | | Similar Products Used: | Bullit dh, Nikolai Lambda | | Bike Setup: | Shiver, 26" wheels, Hope Enduro, clamp on bars, 2.6" Nokkians | | 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 | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$5500.00 | | Purchased At: | go-ride.com | | 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 frame | | Similar Products Used: | 1999 Kona Stinky Dee Lux, 2000 Bullit DH , 2000 Stab Primo (demo) Turner RFX (demo) , Turner DHR (demo), 2001 GT DHI (demo) | | Bike Setup: | 2001 Boxxer , Purple Hayes, King Headset , 321 Wheels, Hadley/edco hubs, xt drive train, XTR Cranks, XTR BB, Azonic Stem and Bars, Titec Seat, MRP , Race Face Seat Post, Maxxis Tires, etc | | Bottom 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. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
