I test e-bikes exclusively to land a spot on the kill list.

Wow, I really just had to stop listening. I’ve never heard so much raw opinion, covered up with “just my personal opinion here”! Seriously, does nobody get that the “sport” of mountain biking is also just something people do for fun? It’s not dumbing things down, it’s building people up, letting people grow into the potential sport side of it. I’ve run a bike park in Germany for five years now, and I’ve watched kids grow from only riding our easy flow trail, to the bigger green trail, to our enduro trail, to racing iXS Cups and doing pretty well...

I slowly heated up one of my fidlock bottles then molded into shape with a Trolley jack handle lol. Just to clear the DHX2 reservoir. I've probably given myself some sort of BPA poisoning by drinking from it but at least the bottle fits.

Maybe he thought the term was fun? Maybe part of the tribe? Point made someone voices an opposite opinion and someone outright says they are wrong and privileged. Social PC wave in action.

For those that don't want to go google the definition; "a social division in a traditional society consisting of families or communities linked by social, economic, religious, or blood ties, with a common culture and dialect, typically having a recognized leader." Seems a pretty appropriate use of the word "tribe" to me.

Hello Yahmon, I'm not "clearly" speaking to you. I'm replying to the myriad of comments such as yours. You can find them on facebook, Twitter, Instagram (actually, scratch that, Yeti disabled comments on the post) and PinkBike. First I'll push back on the idea the word tribe is offending a group of people. I see no strong evidence this is the case. I can say this for a bunch of reasons, one of which I could go use it in conversation (again, applying the oxford webster definition) everyday for a year and this side of Barnard or Brooklyn nobody is...

Wow. Yes, this will get downvoted but I find freedom to use this language more important than popularity. Counter culture is no longer "counter". Its the culture now. People with values like mine, ones that point to pragmatism, and trying to note how impossible (and dangerous) a task like this (making sure nothing is offensive to anyone ever) no matter the expense, are becoming, oddly, the counter culture. Tribe is not an offensive word. Or rather, if it is, we'd better dig up the root of every single word we currently use and put it before the post modernist committee...

I see your point, but 'Tribe' has been in used in Europe for centuries as well as other parts of the world. From all I see it originated in Rome /Mediterranean area. This particular word isn't anyone's to 'own'. Yeti is a private company and is free to change as they see fit, but this isn't appropriation anymore than a restaurant selling Italian dishes , Hispanic dishes, Thai ,etc outside the 'home' country.

I have to apologize for not reading your comment before replying below. And I have to admit you just made some seriously valid points right here. I stand corrected. Thanks for bringing such a concise and consistent explanation. You have given me a lot to think about, but at first you put the spotlight where it should be: I was being naive and jumped on a bandwagon of political correctness. Thanks again. I won't delete/edit my other comments simply because I think they might help someone else who could fall into the same onanistic thinking I was before reading that...

The iXS Trigger FF builds on the company's Trigger AM half-shell helmet, providing full-face protection on more rides. It's fully certified up to the DH-specific ASTM 1952 standard and achieves its low weight by relying on an in-mold, single-layer EPS construction with an internal X-Frame "skeleton" molded into the chin bar to increase frontal impact strength and security. The Trigger FF is made in two shell sizes with an adjustable internal retention system and a set of different thickness pads to fine-tune the fit. The visor is adjustable and there is a clever "gripper pad" around the back to help...
