It's a Yeti so it will be gorgeous whatever it is. I'd love it if there were a 29 Asr in the works, though I know it's not a popular concept here. In time. However, I don't think that the drop from the head tube to the bb is enough for a 29er, so it's probably 26. If that's a pivot point above the bb it's quite high...that triangle is only tacked, so all the bits may not be there yet. Real teaser.

rideitinside.blogspot.com/2011/05/yeti-2012.htmlThis summer Yeti is going to launch a substitute to the 575, which will remain on the catalog on a more affordable version. This new 6 inches rear travel bike will use a suspension designed by David Earle, one of the smartest american engeeneer with Dave Weagle. The system is based on a main pivot mounted on a mobile eccentric, as confirm the patent deposited by Earle. The target is to obtain a vertical wheel axle path, with a high chain extension on the beginning of the travel (for anti bobbing) and a low chain tension in the last part of the rear wheel movement. Wait till this summer for the final design !

Hey Andrew, you said there was leaked pics of the 2012 Yeti. Why not share it? I've been searching for the last hour and can't find any mention.

I hear the yeti does not look like that picture, it's the detail in the words that is important.
I'm pretty sure this suspension is going to be unique, and from the sound of it, better than any vpp or dw link bike.
I think yeti has a winner here.
