Hi folks, this is my first post on here. I ordered a 575 back in November and was told it was likely to be in before Xmas. Still no sign of it - Aargh!!! How many people have managed to get one yet? My local shop has been in touch with Evolution and been told different stories. Apparently there was a batch in between Xmas and New Year, but now now I'm hearing that they aren't in yet... anybody hearing any different?? I've seen pics of a handfull on Yetifan and wondered how many are out in the great British wilderness at the moment? Cheers!  |

I have one, its ace. I ordered mine as soon as I saw them at Interbike.
There was a tiny delivery of about 6 in October, then the next batch was due in Nov/Dec, but I know from my orders for the store, Yeti did not send the entire order of my stuff, I presume thats the same with the 575's, and I know there is a delivery planned for around now, with another delivery in 3 weeks.
This is only what I know about my stuff, all I can say is I expect some of the 575's were half sent if you know what I mean.
So there was one batch, but it was not the entire amount that was ordered, so technically both stories are right. I guess they sent out what colours and sizes they were sent.

So far I've done about 400-500 miles, Every ride except one is in the muck!
The mud clearance is great, the pictures are misleading!
The fin acts like a knife, and seems to cut the mud off. I think its one of the better FS bikes I have had for mud clearance.

had my first ride on a full sus last Saturday the demo bike 08 575 at Crosstrax Leeds and it was well sloppy and I had no problems with clearance all day so it should not be a problem

you have the opposite problem to what I had on the Crosstrax demo bike i,m 6ft 4in and normally have a laid back seatpost and a 130mm stem the demo bike had an in-line s/post and a small stem maybe about 90/100mm you could try an inline s/post to move you forward and a smaller length stem to bring the h/bars back towards you

first the bike, 70ml for me is perfect just right had to jiggle the spaces around so i am a few ml nearer the front wheel and it is dead on, ae was good and there is a small dh bit at the car park which the bike really peformed well on. so the bike is great no regrets just need to improve the bike fitness now.

I've had my small ano black for about 3 weeks. Think I ordered back in September. It's superb but I'm still wondering whether I could have got away with an extra-small as it is quite long. I could try changing the stem from a 90 to a 70.
