Yeti 575 - will it do what I want?

[madz]

Hi Guys, new here. Currently ride a hardtail (commencal supernormal) and looking to purchase a full sus. I want it the new bike to be an all rounder mainly for riding in the uk but also for trips to Chamonix and Tignes so will need a good climber and good downhill and good on uk trials.

Is the Yeti for me?

Thanks for any help.

HI,

I have an 08 one, and its ace! I know of people who use their 575's for almost everything, this year in france on the LesGets DH track, a local on a 575 overtook me while I was on my AS-X, so they are very capable.

It depends what forks you use as to which purpose its more aimed towards, mine is built up light, with 140 forks, and is great on the road, Firetracks,Singletrack, long climbs, steep climbs (in fact I cleared one climb I have never done on any other bike), and downhill with 140's its a dream, I should imagine with some 36's it would be almost every bike for everybody!

I am very impressed with mine.
