That Yeti looks quite slack, what is the head angle?


the yeti is designed around a 100mm fox - wheras the ones in that pic look like 140s - hence why so slack?


So it's a beefed up XC bike? Or dedicated 4X?

Might have a mosey at their website.

Get a hardtail. Lighter, faster, less expensive (short and long term) and more hardcore.

Saw a really nice build of a small xtc frame (alloy) for 4x, was sweet. Everybody thinks they are just XC machines but they fly on the 4x track as well, are damn strong.

That was just a pic I steamed off google image search, as their website is in flash and I couldn't download the hot pix.

If you have a look on the website, check out the photos of the prototype Super X race bmx - seriously wood-inducing. Smile

The Morewood looks hot - If you have the money, go for that.
But if you're on a budget, and want a hardtail...
Plenty of people have had a lot of success with Giant alloy hardtails. They make sick little 4x bikes.
