$4000.00 | | Purchased At: | City Bike Depot | | Strengths: | Wonderful simple single pivot frame. Works a treat and matched with the RP23 fox shock ---- BOB has left the building! | | Weaknesses: | Slightly bumpy if down hilling with RP23 shock in pro pedal mode. If you are on th money with flicking it over to open valve prior to down hill sections the yeti just steps up one more level. | | Similar Products Used: | Santa Cruz Super light | | Bike Setup: | Reba fork, DT swis 4.1d rims laced to 240 hubs, I beam seat on a carbon Kore seatpost, Avis juicy 7's (carbon), SRAM X0 through out. | | Bottom Line: | Sensational bike worth every bit of the extra outlay | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$1900.00 | | Purchased At: | speedgoat | | Strengths: | very light frame | | Weaknesses: | None! | | Similar Products Used: | Scott scale 50 | | Bike Setup: | Rock Shox Reba, Race face cranks, Srame x.0 shifters, 990 gears, Thomason seat post, Easton Monkey handle bars, Cane Creek rims with headset | | Bottom Line: | I looked at 4 differnt frames and narrowed it done to the Yeti. It took me a full year to research all the parts and to build. This is my first full suspension. I love this bike with a passion! I really enjoy riding this bike it is unbelievable easy to get up hills. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$2269.00 | | Purchased At: | Speedgoat | | Strengths: | Suspension design, Weight, stand over, carboness, Stiffness | | Weaknesses: | Nothing...... | | Similar Products Used: | Hardtails | | Bike Setup: | F100 RLC Mavic wheels,Specialized fast track 2.00, XT, XTR, juicy carbon, monkey light, RP23, Chris King | | Bottom Line: | One of the best, if not the best light weight racing full suspension bikes in the world, it may cost an arm and a leg, but its worth every penny. It is fast enough to be a race machine, but strong and fun enough to be a training bike, and just a plain fun bike.
To see that single pivots work on XC race bikes, push on the nose of the saddle, no bob, press on the back, and it sinks into the travel, just how it should be stiff for climbing and very active for decending | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$2169.00 | | Strengths: | Light, quick, great composure while descending, very little bob, great company | | Weaknesses: | Single Pivot | | Similar Products Used: | 'Dale Scalpel, 'Dale Rush, Scott Scale, Stumpy, RacerX | | Bike Setup: | Full XTR, Stans Olympic/DT240 | | Bottom Line: | I love this bike. It climbs as fast as my HT ever did, yet has amazing descending and cornering abilities. I train on the bike as well, so it gets all the day to day abuse on technical terrain.
Mine weighed in at 5.1 lbs for a medium, so my entire build is 23.4lbs without resorting to any crazyness.
The Horst link designs have a plusher feel in the rear, as this ride relies on the RP23 to keep bob in check. The shock does it's job well and keeps the ride very efficient. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$3000.00 | | Purchased At: | used | | Strengths: | Relatively light, carbon swingarm | | Weaknesses: | Carbon swingarm did crack on just "normal" XC trails. | | Similar Products Used: | Specialized | | Bike Setup: | XTR and SRAM, Sid 80 mm, Crossmax SL | | Bottom Line: | I put on the Sid 80 mm to (a) increase the headtube angle and make it better for singletrack (worked), and (b) lighten up the bike for XC racing. I think YETI is an awesome company and this bike smoked the Specialized in all aspects. There was a bob in the rear shock that drove me a little nuts (may have helped with some technical climbing), and I sold the frame because it really was just too heavy for racing XC. They say 4.8ish pounds, but felt more. The angles were sweet, wheelbase perfect, chainstay length awesome. IF you are racing XC, you can go carbon chain and seatstay, save 1 to 2 lbs, and do fine. IF you are simply a solid XC rider (not racer) and want a relatively light frame, this is it. Would I buy another one? Probably not, but I won't ever regret riding this bike over 14+ hours a week for well over 1.5 years. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$1550.00 | | Purchased At: | craigslist | | Strengths: | climbs great, like a hardtail with shock locked out and
not too much bob with shock free
lateral stiffness, predictable handling for fast descents
solid, predictable handling | | Weaknesses: | 2004 frame was built with some halfway decent stuff
and some leftover stuff from the seller's garage | | Similar Products Used: | 2000 specialized stumpjumper FSR XC Pro | | Bike Setup: | Fox RL AVA rear shock
Avid SD7 V brakes
XT shifters, deuraillers, crank
Rock Shox Duke SL U-Turn 63-108mm front shock | | Bottom Line: | This is an awesome bike! I strongly recommend it for any X/C or trail rider who is looking for a lightweight, solid, 4" travel bike. It climbs great, the handling is fast and predicatable, and the frame feels very solid in all circumstances I have encountered. Weighs about the same as the old stumpy with similar components, but is much more solid and has a more stretched geometry for more stable handling. The only thing I am missing in this garage-built bike is the new bike feel. The brakes and shifting are not so crisp, but for the money I am satisfied. I'll upgrade to disc when the wheels get old and upgrade to better cables soon to help the brakes and shifting in the meantime. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
