They could have at least thrown-in a dropper with this price tag, no?

It is pretty, tho...

Specialized makes the same bike for $500 more so I don't think it's completely out of market(S-WORKS EPIC 29 WORLD CUP)

Yeti has introduced the new AS-Rc cross-country bike,expanding its line of ride-driven products.

Pro tip: When you are writing copy for Pinkbike to paste, make it sound slightly less like it was written by a marketing hack.

 

[StiHacka]

ride-driven or drive-ridden?

I like how all these new carbon bikes are coming out and the report on them states the prices so matter of factly.
our new bike starts at only $5.5K. really? well since you put it that way, give me one in every color or build offered.

It's got 3 pivots, you'll literally spend years trying to maintain them all.

And when you are maintaining your Yeti you will wear Yeti clothing so people know you are pro.

What is it with Yeti riders that they all need to look like they are sponsored riders, does Xzibit own Yeti?
People seem to love to wear Yeti on Yeti while they ride their Yeti.

I know it's a matter of personal taste, but gawd I hate that pale blue, both on Yeti and Bianchi...

people will buy it. in hordes even. the market is supporting these prices, and they're a business not a charity.

i have an old yeti ARC XC hardtail, and its fokkin' awesome. they for sure have amassed a following over the years.

I saw one at a coffee shop last weekend, it was however owned by a bike shop employee.
