Always fancied trying a Yeti but not had the opportunity to get hold of one until now.
Decided to go red and black and use as much Hope stuff as possible as it has always been good on my other bikes. I sold my last bike to fund the parts buy for this whereas usually I move the parts off my last bike onto whatever comes next but wanted a fresh start this time. Not really Yeti colours but I do like a bit of black and red.
Really like the bike. Shorter in the cockpit than my last bike which was an Orange Five in a medium but the shortness is good. Rides nicely and absorbs bumps well after a bit of adjustment on the rear shock. There is a creak somewhere but cannot nail the damn thing down but at least I know 50% of the bike has been greased twice trying to track it down...
