10/10 Noah I did do some math and stared at a dyno for a long time. It's frustrating to read stuff stated as fact that is not correct.

More ground clearance? Sounds like a perfect job for IMBA, not bike engineers.

All three articles have been glowingly positive about the suspension on these new Yeti's, but interestingly all three have pretty low overall frame progression- 14% for this guy, 17% for the 160, and I think 11% for the 120. Wondering if Vital's tester has had any bad experiences with more progressive designs or if there's something else going on to make these fairly linear bikes feel like magic to the tester. I'm curious because I'm a similar height and weight to the Jonny and I've been pretty underwhelmed by a lot of the more linear bikes I've ridden- feeling like...

Why is the seatstay bridge removable/bolt-on? Tuning flex with different bridges (as if I'm good enough to feel the difference)? Or simply to help with brake line install/swap? She's got stunning looks for sure.

Wish I could see non-drive side photos? Chainring and idler mount is hiding the lower link and makes it difficult to see WTF is going on there.

Loris looks pinned. Goldstone on the black Trek looks smooth and likely to make a serious splash in Juniors this year. So stoked for WC racing!

This video is 100% correct. Pre-charge the line of the pump before it fully engages the valve of your suspension, and you will prove to yourself the PSI matches where you left it.

Dang. Wish we'd gotten bike geometry right the first time in 1990 but it takes some tweaking ya know?

Can we get clarification on the mechanics? It looks like the elastomers only engage in one direction (kickback) but do not engage in the other (pedaling) direction? So there should be no lag or mush while pedaling and should be locked in as fast as your hub can engage.

Whoa hold up - I'm pretty sure Spomer said "any seat angle on the wrong side of 76 degrees gets docked a star..." Is the boss man gonna step in and override this rating? Sup? Seriously though, great review. Bike looks dope.

I've had this groupo for about 8 months (you could get it from Europe before the delayed USA release). While I agree with everything in this review, I feel like there's a piece of info left out. The bite point on my enduro 4 piston XTR brakes changes on long descents (or when you flip the bike over and upright again). This seems to have been an issue in the past and still is. I've bled these things soooo many times trying to get the perfect bleed, even trying Marshy's from Syndicate "drain method" to no avail. The brakes are...

This is awesome. Another benefit to inserts is the damping they have on the ride. I would like to see another test added that measures vibration damping.

I used to convert all my non-tubeless rims to tubeless. My best results only used black gorilla tape (gorilla brand duct tape). That would air-seal spoke holes easily without needing to ghetto-tubeless-slice-open-inner-tube. Seriously, it's that easy.
