Finally...the Yeti 303
- Thread starter profro
- Start date
I thought we had a conversation about this on saturday. So what's it going to be Doug?! I'm sure this photo has been playing with your mind.
Not mine, this one is Yeti's. They just took the picture on Thursday or Friday of last week. I had made up my mind to hold off on getting the 303 until later, but after seeing this picture... 
. Nah, I knew the hardest time would be after I saw the picture. If I can get through the next couple of days then I'll be able to hold out until later. I've got too much other stuff (i.e. wheels, fork, race fees, travel money, etc) to get before I can plop the cash down for one of these. Heck, I just got my DH9 last May. I haven't been on it for a year.

Nothing like cutting edge technology with nostalgia for a paint job.
Am i the only one who actually likes the yeam yeti paintjobs of old? Go Curly!
Suh-weet! Now I need to ride one.
No of course not. There's gotta be some fat golfer dude in miami who's stoked on them as well.Transcend said:
I have to admit. I grew up in florida and there are just some colors that my brain will never allow me to like. Yeti teal is one of them. Yeti teal next to yellow..........okay that has nothing to do with me growing up in florida, that's just some ugly sh1t.

It always rubs me the wrong way when companies patronize their customers with statements like:
Cool design, nonetheless. Will be very interesting to see how it performs out in the real world.
Uh, first of all, that's incorrect, and second of all, the two main pivot rails are close to perpendicular to each other, so how can they both be perpendicular to ANYTHING?

Nope....I'm loving it too. Just think 100 years from now it'll be like Bianchi celest.
I love the team yeti colours, but maybe they should paint the swingarms coz to me it looks a little cheap.Transcend said:
notice the upper curvy rail has been straightened out? and wheres the boot system?
or maybe there wasent a need. They mention that they tune the rails per course, if thats the case, it would make sense that the consumer would get the generic setup.wirly said:
If Zedro's right, maybe they'll have additional rails available with the frame (or aftermarket) so the consumer can pick and choose. Or maybe there will be some dude in a trench coat at each race selling top secret "course-specific" rails...
Not a fan of the color scheme but I normally like the yeti colors. Maybe it's that weird fork color, or the fact that the swingarm isn't painted...I dunno but as built it looks to me like "2005 Technology/1990 Graphics" with fashion consultation by Greg Herbold. Whatever, get it dirty and it'll look great, I'm more curious about the ride...

The bike is cool.....but the colors.....
No, you're not. I'm actually not too impressed with the bike. I think it's a very innovative design, and although nobody can personally attest to the bike's performance, it looks like it'll have issues in mud. The idea of the "cars" that the swingarm rides on is very cool, but my gut feeling is that durability in this area will be an issue. Again, this is all eSpeculation, and I'd be thrilled if I was proven wrong, because I have nothing against Yeti.Racer-X said:
And I know it's been said, but that paintjob sucks.
EDIT: And it costs $2900? WTF? I'll take a Turner DHR, thank you very much.
Linear rails seem to be pretty damn durable in manufacturing applications.
Granted, this is a different environment, but I wouldn't be surprised if it worked out.
As for the color, they may as well throw on an ano purple answer pro-lite bars and a moby seatpost

I dig the paintjob.
The paint looks too retro. it would be sick if they had something like the canadian paintjob on the rocky mountain bike. and i agree with painting the swingarm, it would look much better
i like it
the paintjob is just too classic to hate on!
I'd hit it
cant say the same for the fork. it's so freakin ugly!!!

You know, in some cultures they only eat vomit. I've never been there, but I read about it. You know, in "a book."Zark said:
but where do they get the vomit then? i hate paradox-based meals...James | Go-Ride said:

Geometry looks good from the pic.......not too steep not too slack...
I have confidence in yeti.
Their stuff has always been durable and well thought out.

Allright, I can't take it anymore. I'm throwing the BS flag - James, you don't read books.
"...we're better than you and we know it!"
Dodgeball, man! One of the funniest movies about "The Ocho" and featuring a cameo by Lance Armstrong produced in 2004.Threepointtwo said:
Besides the swingarm needing some paint am i the only one who thinks the fork looks whack with hella spacers?
Its almost as if the frame was not designed for an 8" fork (but i know it must be) and they shimmed it up to not slack it out so much.

man the dh9 looked so much better (and in my opinion rode a ton better, got a chance to ride one over thanksgiving break)
give it the old frames sticker kit/paintjob and make it a little less nascarish and it will look a ton better

This bike is hot!
I don't know if this has been asked before, but does anyone know if the yeti 303 was named after denver/golden's area code?
yes it is named after the area code
but technically it should be called the 720 since its new and all techy like
