Dirtbreath Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Like what do you want to know? also check out yetifan.com
ngala24 Posted March 9, 2009 Author Posted March 9, 2009 Well its for a mate and he is looking at either the Merida 96 3500 ALu Scott spark (not sure which one) or this Yeti Frame Will be used for marathon and xc type riding, how comfortable is this frame ? See it did get award of some sort on there website
splat Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 About 50% of the Sani riders had a Yeti of sorts. Looks like a popular bike.

See it did get award of some sort on there website [/quote'] How comfortable is the frame? Depends on where you.......oh never mind. They are great frames but you best best is to ride your 3 options.
Weight Weenie Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Well its hand made in Colorado so quality should be great, and if he's more into long distances and marathon riding I think it will be better suited, specially if he's a heavier rider or takes more tumbles than most. The Merida is in between the three bikes, with the scott being lighter and nippy, nice for lighter riders that are more xc orientated in my opinion.

ngala24 Posted March 9, 2009 Author Posted March 9, 2009 Come to think of it there were alot of Yeti at Sani, its the spark 30 he is looking at. He is currently on a scott scale 50 (alu) how much more comfortable of a ride will a carbon HT be as he like his HT
Weight Weenie Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Well I went from a cheap 15kg HT to a carbon 10kg HT GT and the difference is crazy! The carbon is much quiter on the trails and is stiffer so it responds better. It doenst flex like Ti but does soak up the vibrations so uneven road surfaces are allot more comfy when sitting. But I think for the avearge guy a FS is probly better if you plan on doing multi day events...
Spaceboy Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 I absolutely love my Yeti ASR. The rear triangle is carbon, and the frame is quite light. You cannot go wrong with Yeti!
Sean Badenhorst Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Yeti asr-sl aluminium - one of the best bikes I've ever ridden! Would highly recommend it.
