Yeti 303 Carbon
- Thread starter Trekrules
- Start date
Jackson's looking at him like, "Why you smilin'? That's mine!"Never saw this comming from Yeti
and off course Graves is smiling
So are they gonna sell them?
Not saying I could afford one...

A limited edition but to get it you will have to sign a contact after which they own one of your kidneys and you give away your firstborn.
I wonder if this will break the 10k mark over here in yrop...
New materials are so 2011. We need to get on the two shock bandwagon.
well played...well played indeed.
But actually, I am pretty excited about this. I will preface this by saying I could never afford a regular aluminum yeti, and I will only assume this will be more expensive, but:
I like bikes that monster truck and are pure dedicated rock smashers like the v10 and yeti's past WC designs. I wasn't a huge fan of the RDH. It makes me happy having bikes like the m9, the v10, and the yeti WC series (that have all be exceptional when it comes to giving a floaty and controlled feeling through the most roughest trails). Having a bunch of light weight options is rad.
Also, why do O'Connor and Jackson look so ridiculously ripped compared to graves? Did they have different coaches or something?

Damn you Yeti! Thankfully my girth and good nature prevent me from owning a carbon bike. I'll just have to live with the WC I have on order.
o'connor's the one on the far left?
O'connor is not riding for Yeti in 2012
That frame looks very sexy, can't wait to see it built...1st WC hopefully???
***ahhhhh thom beat me to it
Quote me if i'm wrong, but i think that's Richie Rude, not O'Çonner
***ahhhhh thom beat me to it
I can't comment on Jackson, but seeing Rude at a few local races, I can say he is a big dude...especially when you consider his age....he seriously has the build of a 23 yr old.
Vital has slide show and they talk about Graves having lost a lot of weight having changed to DH racing only. He looks pretty fit to me but I try not to spend too much time seeing how ripped other guys are, prefer checking out the ladeez 
Looking forward to seeing some photos built up. If the carbon SB66 is anything to go by this will be one sexy beast.

kids a monster. almost hard to believe he's just now old enough to race jr's.
Get ready, I hear pinkbike is doing a story on am Hill's waistline
I'm more curious as to his socks of choice.
rude looks gigantic because he is
Rumor mill says 2lbs lighter then the Al. frame.
Well for 4x he needed less cardio and probably a better power output. Look at Gee, he is ripped but not really super big. The other guys may just have a bigger natural frame
And that's the new frame too, which is already a lot lighter than last years WC.
Maybe OÇonner didn't fit Yeti's ethos of being an honest, down to earth good bloke.
Apparently Andrew from Yetifan bought stuff from him, Yeti stuff, he received the money, but doesn't feel like sending him the goods, it is on Facebook
That would be huge weight saving, on front triangle only :O
looks to be. very good looking rig.
Those pedals look sleeker than current 647's but beefier than XT(R) trails. New pedal?
Also surprised that with many of the new carbon frames they carbonize the triangles but keep the aluminum linkages. Didn't carbon links for stiffnezz become a thing a few years ago?

Guys-
A few notes:
Construction: for now, the front is carbon and the rear is aluminum. We're not sure whether that will change.
Sales: It's just a special race project for now - we want it to be tested pretty hard under world cup conditions before we consider releasing it for sale. We do not have a release date in mind yet.
Team: The guys you see standing in the pic are (L-R) Shaun Hughes (team mechanic), Grubby, Richie Rude, John Reynolds (videographer), and Eliot Jackson.
Physique: Jared busted his ass this offseason to transform his body from a purpose-built 4X racer to a purpose-built DHer. He dropped something like 30 pounds, and he basically had zero fat to begin with. Eliot worked out a ton this winter with a trainer who works with a lot of supercross pros, and Richie's been working with a trainer and nutritionist full time for at least a couple of years. As you'd expect from world cup pros, they all take their training very seriously.
