There’s a lot of buzz on the internet, after Jared Graves posted images of what looks like a carbon Yeti DH bike with Switch Infinity and some Fox 40s. Is this a new Proto 303 DH bike?
Last year Yeti got rid of their DH World Cup team to focus on enduro so it’s a bit of a surprise if they are re-designing their downhill bikes and looking back into World Cup racing.That said, in August at Crankworx, Richie Rude was seen with an aluminium Switch Infinity DH bike that looked pretty awesome. The pictures Jared has posted doesn’t look very similar in our view, and the 40s look like they have been lowered in travel.
The bike was posted with the accompanying text – “Hold the phone! what have we here?”
After the initial buzz Jared weighed in with a new Facebook post:
“woah woah woah, easy there internets….. its an SB6c with 40s. That really escalated quickly…. Sorry if this comes as a disappointment, but I can assure you all it isnt a disappointment to ride!”
So, new bike? Or just a picture of how versatile an existing frame is?
You decide…
