Anyone see the new Yeti DH frame? You would think from all the pics I have seen on the forums that the V10 and the Intense VPP8 were the only new things to see???? That is weak.

 

[lukeduke]

just hoped they maybe had someone racing a proto, or something? Just wishful thinking. I was not there, so I thought I would ask. Does anyone have any solid info as to what it is, something more than rumors?

There are several of my agents on their way with bamboo shoots and brass knuckles.

WE WILL HAVE THE TRUTH.

It will be made entirely out of beef jerky.

hmmm, maybe the frame never made it because the team got hungry on the way to SO....

um..... I was under the impression it was some new kind mix of the too. Smoked on the inside to maintain strength, but terriaki on the outside to keep it light....

kind of like you?

 

[zedro]

will it loose its flavor or possibly swell in wet conditions?

cored out baguette w/ jerkey in the middle. The catch is the Type though! It's venison cause theyre fast. The flavors are like colors. I'm geting teryiaki! You also have the choice out original, smoked, or Tabasco (supposedly the fastest, but very unstable!)

Ahh sh*t, you mean Peppered isn't an option?!? I was sooo ready for some gastro intestinal help with acceleration. My gate starts are pathetic.

Sure it's beef jerky and all, but can it be used for FreeRide? What about X-Treme FreeRide? That's my only concern.

No but it can be used for BLack Diamond riding.

Can you fit a 5th element on it... or would you have to put a dent in the baguette tubing?

Would that include Jibbing? If so, I think I found my new ride

 

[Orvan]

I heard it will have adjustable dropouts..for those who like longer wheelbase.

 

[Rip]

I heard the opposite from beef jerkey. I heard it was made out of black licorice.

 

[The Kadvang]

I heard yeti had to cut costs on the orginial beef jerky version and only a slim jim tubed version will make it to production. Of course Dangerboy will offer an aftermarket jerky linkage...

 

[beaverbiker]

it finally actually shifts when you tell it to. it'll be worth the wait. hope it rides as cool as it looks

They switched from jerky to slim jim because it was found that a 3" Gazzalodi would not fit in the jerky proto.

 

[thaflyinfatman]

I heard it was flexy.

and WILL THERE BE A DH9 FOR FREERIDING?

 

[Sandwich]

i think this thread needs a pic


just so long as it has nothing to do with yeti

The hold up right now is trying to find slim jims that come in root beer.

 

[ragin-sagin]

It runs the same linkage (Lawill) but has another inch of travel, revamped rear axle/brake/derailleur placement, and has new shock placement. The front monocoque is a bit more sophisticated as well.

I read it all in a USA Today article by Jack Kelley.

That's funny but probably lost on most readers of this board.
