Do you know if they're using an existing suspension design, or if they've created a new one?
'cant wait to see the new design!
I have some very double-secret probation style insider info, and my sources tell me that Yeti will DEFINITELY be producing a DH bike for the '05 model year.
:devil:

Hehee... the suspense continues.......
btw, what kind of suspension platform? Any expert spies out there who were able to sneak in the Yetis' "area 51" :evil:

My sources have also said that Yeti will have an '05 DH and supposedly has been completely redesigned. As for specifics, well I too am in the dark.
Not much help am I? Sorry.

thats the basic 'scissor link' arrangement that KHS uses and that Cannondale oringinally developped and abandonnedNately27 said:
Wow. That suspension design looks wicked complicated... 
I wonder how well its going to function when put into a real test - a bunch of riders trying it out.
EDIT: Here is the link to the design: 2005 YETI DH

Just as complicated as the previous post, I wouldn't be surprised if this is even more complicated.

Suckers.
this is one of those things where the over-complication couldnt justify any performance increase....cali4niabiker said:
with the yeti team mechanic at snowmass and he said he couldnt tell me anything but its gunna be a lot different and i said is it single pivot like the asx cause it looked like it had elevated stays even though it was covered and he said it isnt a single pivot. So i dono it could be something crazy>?
well, technically an ASX isnt a single pivot either....biker3 said:
So after all this speculation and discussion and surmising, we've basically determined that:
1.) Yeti is definitely producing a DH bike for the '05 model year.
2.) And... yeah that's about it.

I woudl say the first we shoudl see of it will be under graves. I do know one romour but I am sure I am not to mention anything. Just think exotic materials...
I suppose your right zedro but you know what i meant. I personally think its gunna be a super high quality swinglink pivot thing like the ASX with more travel. It could be a totally new thing but from what i saw at snowmass it didnt look too outrageous even though it was covered. I dont even think graves was testing it, all i saw of him was on the DH9 it was one of the 100s of other yeti riders on it that i could not distiunguish.
yeah i know, just pointing out it might have been a cleaver way of the guy not lying to youbiker3 said:
