[Closed] Yeti update

Just posting an update following my test ride of the Yeti ASR5 yesterday.

Absolutely awesome bike. As many people have said you just don't stop pedalling. I need to get fitter!

In terms of spec the demo bike was identical to my trek, except for the hope brakes which were a bit weak. However, I was surprised at how different the front felt. The bike just carved through turns. Very responsive, in fact too responsive as I stacked once as the bike turned quicker than expected.

I had the shock set up for 20-25% sag, and whilst it felt very firm it didn't feel uncomfortable. Like the wife's golf gti.

Sizing wise, I tested a medium and I felt it was a little short for me. I had the saddle pushed right back and still felt very upright and over the front. As this would be my only bike for short and long rides a large would fit better.

So I've ordered one! Should get it next week 😀
