This bike rips, as hard as every review you've ever read.
Ive been on this bike for almost 2 years now. It climbs well, even with the rear shock fully open. The switch infinity is smooth, and after 2 years, no signs of wear, and easy to service. The bike descends like a monster. The only time you notice that its a 140mm travel frame is when you overshoot a drop, huck a bit larger, or huck to flat (classic wv). Bike has park laps on it, back country, and local trail riding. The fox suspension is easy to adjust and the volume spacers install easy. The base model DT Swiss 1900 wheel set, has to be the biggest surprise. They are holding up well still to this day. Hardly any tweaking or spoke loosening and the hubs are just now starting to show some wear, bearings are almost due. They are relatively light, and set up tubeless well.
Tires - exo rear casings... This isn't a yeti gripe, but an industry wide gripe. some people are lucky with exo, i get it, but Double down is a better spec. i guess this is preference though.
Gripes - Seat Mast, needs to be 3/4 inch shorter imo. i fit perfectly into the large size frame. The post and saddle height combo is just a bit too tall and you can feel the saddle if trails get too tight or trying to suck up jumps.
- Brakes, shimano deore? really? i'm a larger guy, i get it. but even for a more normal sized rider, the deores are ridiculously underwhelmed. for the minute price difference, slx's would be a drastic improvement. (i had to go to zee's)
-bar and stem combo is meh. the basic oem raceface is heavy and transfers alot of vibration.
O and for what this bike costs, YETI, supply the dang grease gun for the switch infinity link with the bike.
O, and Oscar Blues is sold seperately.
