[Closed] What are Yeti 575's like?

The Yeti 575 is a very very nice bike and the size you've picked will be fine. They do come up large for the stated sizes as I had a medium and could have got away with a small really. They handle well, have really good geometry (means relaxed) and is a proper all-day bike that will tackle most stuff with aplomb. I had a Turner 5 Spot and Intense 5.5 and hoped the 575 was the bike that had the best bits of those two fine bikes and all in a single package but it wasn't. That said it's a very good bike that won't disappoint you. I'm back to riding a 5 Spot, an old HL model which I find is a slightly better UK trail bike - at least in my opinion. The Orange 5 is just as good and it all comes down to which you like the look of.

"rough technical trail centers"-shirley a mishtake 😐

orange 5 = Ugly, 575 = AWESOME!! Get one, cracking bike! 😆

Ha! Check Yetifan.com for a bit of history.

I've had mine years and even if I had the money for a new bike I wouldn't replace it. Bloody fab it is.

Mine was one of the first in the UK but I think the proper Team colours that are available now are much better than the older ones.

Nice looking frame

Mine's like Scuzzer's...but not as bling. Great bikes,as are Orange 5s. They're wasted in trail centres,come into their own in the Peaks/Lakes. Flatter my lack of ability.

Love mine, all day, do it all bike.

Personally I'd get a meta 5 or a spicy.

cracking bike, if you are on the heavy side avoid the carbon rear

I had an older one and it's a great looking bike but I did find it used to blow through the travel easily (RP23) despite loads of tinkering with pressures I could never get it both plush and avoid pedal strikes

Heres mine too!!!
