YETI Mountain bikes

[cranky.man]

Can anyone here vouch for the quality of these bikes? are they a reliable?

 

i'm new to mountain biking (and hubbing) and i was just wondering if these bikes are all they cranked up to be?!

 

 

 

any comments would be great

Almost as good as a Morewood .

I don't own one, but they get good reviews in international MTB mags. For the price, you could look at offerings from Santa Cruz and Specialized too. Which Yeti are you looking at? Go to www.mtbr.com for reviews on MTB bikes.

DR, what you mend to say was, almost as HEAVY as Morewood<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

You are new and you are looking into a Yeti? You're gonna loose all the fun off riding a hardtail.

 

Anyway, they are good bikes mut not as good as a SantaCruz.

These boys have been making quality bikes for many a year. Going way back to the Lawill designed Straight 6 DH bike.

Always been a fan.

Some of the best performing and best looking bikes out there. Better than Morwood and Santa Cruz in my opinion(those two are just biased)

 

A friend had a ASR-SL for a couple years and sold it recently to get a 29er.

 

He had no problems and really loved the bike.

 

Have a look at Santa Cruz, Intense, Titus, Turner, Ventana....all in the same league.

 

If you're getting a bike in the 4-5 inch travel range then I have to urge you to seriously(and I do mean SERIOUSLY!!!) consider a 29er bike ie 29inch diameter wheels as opposed to normal 26.

 

They are THE sh*t!!!!

My dad bought himself one recently and is raving about it!

i am actually looking on behalf of someone else, my brother, who has a good job (i'm a students still) and basically has more money to spend on buying a bike. i have little knowledge of top end mtb, seen as i am a roadie.

 

 

 

he spotted a yeti on bikebay going for R15000, and he was askin me if it was a good buy.

 

 

 

i'll get the pic and specs now...

great bikes - so much heritage,

 if the LBS has a small in stock today, I'd prolly buy one (an ARC that is).......always wanted one of those since Juli Furtado and Tomes road em......

 

side note - anyone see the limited edition Tomac bike with drop bars like he road back in the day......
