Yeti makes no bones about its love for carbon. It was one of the first companies to use carbon tubes in its bikes and has been using carbon bits an pieces on and off for years. More recent bikes like the ASR-C and the SB-66C have helped Yeti convert many riders over to the black magic. But how about this for a full-on carbon DH bike?
Here’s the carbon Yeti 303… Team-only for the moment, but we reckon there must be a few customers out there, eh?
It's still a Yeti rail design, like the regular 303. Only more rock and roll
Lots of different carbon construction bits involved for strength. The smooth looks are a welcome benefit though
With 23 years as Editor of Singletrack World Magazine, Chipps is the longest-running mountain bike magazine editor in the world. He started in the bike trade in 1990 and became a full time mountain bike journalist at the start of 1994. Over the last 30 years as a bike writer and photographer, he has seen mountain bike culture flourish, strengthen and diversify and bike technology go from rigid steel frames to fully suspended carbon fibre (and sometimes back to rigid steel as well.)
