yeti nomenclature

Our naming convention is pretty simple. All rail bikes will start with 303. If we have an R in the name, we are using the rail primarily to control the rate of the shock (horizontal rail). If there is no R, the rail is used to control the wheel path (vertical rail).All of these bikes are still prototypes and we will spend the race season testing and optimizing the design. Look for all of the new bikes on the podium later this year!" Yeti Cycles

It looks like it will have a much tighter wheel arc than the current 303. Might actually move forwards at some point in the travel.

The engineer in me likeys it.

The dude who has to work on his own bike in me not likeys it!

Looks cool though, and I like the way Yeti just makes cool **** to see if it works, sometimes thats the only way to find out!

vitox, i dont think they did that to try and work away from having a scissors link.

Well I dont see how they could make that work... unless they just... scissor or something?

and on another note... that 4x rail bike looks SO FREAKING DOPE

[caputo1989]

I'm guessing 32 bearings.

 

[Rover Nick]

Is yeti planning on making this a production bike, or more just a 'test' bike?

Dumbass!

I feel like yeti made this bike for the sole purpose of confusing the sh!t out of the internet mountain biking community.

I like how this is slowly becoming an accpeted descriptor of behaviour. I'm guessing you mean it was a botros'd in the 'stolen' manner and not the 'service some forks with a pipewrench' manner?

Yarr, stolen, like from outside the chippie.

But we thinkses we knows where it is, yes we do, we just need a confirmed sighting, then we'll send in the rozzers!

[Curious_George]

why do you think they name is the "303"....i honestly think it is a reference to their colorado area code...any ideas?

 

[Rover Nick]

/\/\
ding ding ding, we have a winner

 

[MrPlow]

Aah right. I thought it was a reference to how many bearings they use.

 

[Cabdoctor]

No, it's how many moving parts they have

 

[caputo1989]

303 is the area code for the majority of the front range in the denver area.

Thats why I guessed 720 or 970 as being the names of the next bikes because they are also Colorado area codes.
