Yeti Big Top Review
I’ve ridden a few 29′ers in recent years and can honestly say that Yeti did their homework on this one. I wasn’t too sure about the aluminum front at first… I thought, ‘why not all carbon?’ Having ridden all carbon 29er’s before I thought going to aluminum would seem harsh and unforgiving. Not the case [more...]
Yeti 5 Carbon: bring the bumps
For the record, I had concerns about using a 5-inch bike for Colorado racing where the courses all go up, then go up, and finally bomb a descent. So, I spent the first few months on my ASR-5 making sure it was race worthy … it is, and then some. Now, it’s time to see [more...]
ASR-5 Carbon
Last night I took my new ASR-5 carbon out for a christening. And this was no champagne over a yacht’s bow, high-society shindig. Nope … more of a trip to the wood shed via the bus to Ned, and lots of climbing over roots, rocks and loose chunder. And worth every pedal stroke once we [more...]

YETI Cycles – ARC-X
Last year was my first year racing cyclocross, and i am sooo hooked. Yeti’s cross bike is wonderful, it has all the necessary makings of an elite level bike without the hefty price tag that often comes with suck a race machine. Mine has an easton carbon fork that rides super stiff but is not [more...]
Yeti Cycles – 575
This is a review of the Yeti 575. I’m pretty sure Yeti called it a 575 because it has a magical 5.75 inches of rear travel. But after riding this bike for two seasons i have found a less obvious reference to 575, it is the breakdown of a HAIKU poem. I can’t comment if Yeti intentionally [more...]

Yeti Cycles – ARC-X
Inside the (Aspiring) Pro’s Bike: Megan Taylor’s Yeti ARC-X Megan attended her first cyclocross race as a spectator in November, 2007, and upon witnessing the hypoxic-induced mayhem of the racers, and the beer-fueled, cowbell-ringing enthusiasm of the crowd, she proudly proclaimed, “This is my sport!” Flash forward to fall 2008, and Megan is indeed tearing [more...]
Yeti ASR5 Carbon
This is the best bike ever. On the uphill, it climbs like a goat. On the downhill, just go in a straight line and it will take you there.
