    Ive owned an 08 and this years model.

    Brilliant bike. Replaced my 04 enduro sworks with one as I was starting to try bigger drops (not too much bigger) and enjoy the downs more. Saying that it weighs about the same sand climbs as well/if not better.
    One of these days I will fit a bigger fork though!
    I have had no swingarm probs at all on my 2010 all carbon back end but there’s prob a few on here who have no doubt.

    I’ve got an 07 and love it.
    More than enough bike for what I ride.

    Got an 09 model and it’s great. It just does everything. Used it for Kielder 100, 24 solo races, and with big forks, wheels and tyres, it’s done DH days.

    Great bike, not found anything to replace it yet!

    i’ve had two … pre 08 and an 09.
    great bikes. lots of horror stories about the carbon rear triangle but no problems at all with mine .. Alps trip as well.

    Had a ’07 and currently have a ’10. Possibly the best FS I have had
    No rear end issues either

    I’ve got a remedy 9.7 and was looking to replace it, love the look of the 575 and wondered what it was like?

    I want to transfer most of the parts across.

    Just to add … my 09 didn’t have the newer thicker rear tiangle, still no problem.

    I did switch between sizes though.

    I’m about 5’9″ so started with a medium … I later switched to a Yeti small which is a 17.5″ frame and not a stretched as the medium … so depending on how you like your bikes just be aware that a Yeti medium is around 19″.

    great bike though whichever you choose … the only reason I changed it was due to not really needing nearly 6″ of travel for the riding I regularly do.

    pic of the bike is the ‘small’ frame

    I have an 08 575 thats a bit like triggers brush I have snapped the rear triangle twice and the old knuckle in the front triangle once. Yeti have replaced it everytime on warranty no quible. The bike has done well over 15k miles I reckon in its life it gets ridden 3 times a week
    simply put its awesome I love it and it still rags like a bike with way more travel 6 foot drops pah !! done the alps 4 times Spain Scotland Wales it does the lot. Climbs well also have ridden quite a few 100k plus marathons on it and it takes it
    Once you go Yeti you won’t go back.

    I should add I am 6.3ft and weigh most of the time top side of 16 stone.
    Only criticism is the bearing in the links are not the greatest and have a habit of only lasting 6 months before going slack

    Nice one guys, great help!

    My remedy is medium at 17.5′” so I reckon a small 575 would be great, I prefer a smaller frame anyway.

    Cheers
