2019 Yeti's

[Zaf]

So Yeti are rolling out the "waterbottle inside the front triangle" designes onto the range. Here are the SB130 and SB150, the repalcements for the 4.5 and 5.5 models previously in the lineup.
Seat Tubes sit at 77° and with HA of 65° and 64° as well.

Personally, not a fan of the downtube bend, reminiscent of the Polygon Xquare One's where it terminates and bends WELL forward of the bottom bracket. The SB150 looks a bit like a gross Firebird as well.

Better looking than any yeti I’ve seen since the DH9....but still a yeti.

I'm struggling to give two shits. Yeah it's an improvement, but they will still be overpriced maintenance pigs that tend to crack a lot. Until they do something those other problems bottle cage placement is likely to make zero difference to my purchase decision.

look like e-bikes. pass.

It's fugly, saved all of that room without a front derailleur and now awkwardly bumped the size up again for a bidon.
Also that shade of blue is not as cool as the Yeti turquoise.

On the plus side, still prettier than the San Andreas V2.0 which would make a blind man cringe.

Best looking yeti since the 4x days...

 

[nzhumpy]

I’m gonna disagree here, that 4X bike they made was fantastic.

The hardtail looked schmick too

But they said they wouldn’t do this design on longer travel frames .... bwahahahaaaaa!!!!

The Yeti promotion team are a bunch of cnuts.

 

[moorey]

Visually, the top one looks fantastic. Beautiful lines and angles...but yeti.

 

[hifiandmtb]

Until you zoom in...

Has there ever been a non-ebike frame with more side profile?

It won’t snap there.

That still leaves the rest of the frame. I'd be happy to demonstrate on someone's Yeti.

I’m just talking angles, like I said. I believe I’ve been very vocal for years about my thoughts on Yetis.
Not into curved tubing, and the seat stay/top tube line is pretty. Only work on that size frame though.

I was saying the 4x was the last good one, was beasty little rocket.

 

[hifiandmtb]

And yet the SB100 looks so sexy:

They really screwed up those new ones...

 

[moorey]

Meh to that one. Meh, I say.
