Hi
Anybody got or ridden one of these?
I've read some reviews from the launch where some privileged few went to Moab (I think) and then a few other mag reviews which are all good but wondered if there were any "real" views?
Cheers
Steve

Short answer: it's ****ing rad.

I ride an sb45, but if I lived somewhere hillier I'd definitely have the 55.
Test rode it earlier this year thinking it would be way too much (I'm generally of the opinion that no one needs a 160mm bike) but was surprised how well it climbed, and how much fun it was on the way down!

Thanks for that- not sure if that's what I wanted to hear. I was hoping you would talk me out of it!!
I have an Intense Carbine 29er at the minute and love it and am concerned that they'll be similar in many ways.
I think I've just got a case of new bike lust!!!!!
I've been onto Wheelbase but they don't have a demo but may be able to arrange something or I'll have to wait til march for some Yeti demo weekend.
Must resist

I'd have the primer(or hightower) over the yeti. Both for the way they ride and the fact that I'd prefer not to own a yeti having worked in a dealer for all three brands dealing with warranties...
