The 2013 Yeti SB95 on Special @ My Mountain!
The 29er dual suspension SB95 has been one of the most popular new bikes of the 2013 season here at My Mountain, and for very good reasons. It comes packed with 5" of Switch controlled suspension that balances pedalling efficiency with square-edge compliance, and loads it into a laterally stiff hydroformed alloy chassis that is built to take a punishing. Combined with confidence-inspiring geometry and the ability to be run with 120-140mm travel up front, the Yeti SB95 is one of the most capable bikes on the market.
To celebrate the start of the spring season this weekend, we've got a very cool special on the current Yeti SB95 to get more riders onto this rad machine. Whilst every Yeti Bike is available with build kit options from Shimano or SRAM from an X9 level to full-blown XTR, we have a special deal available on the most popular build kit of the range, the XT-Easton kit.

The Shimano Deore XT - Easton Build Kit
New for 2013 is the introduction of a new XT-level build kit that comes decked out with an array of Easton components. The big news with the Easton build is the addition of the excellent EA70 XCT wheelset that features UST Tubeless compatibility for easy tubeless setup with the Schwalbe tyres. While the EA70 wheels are lightweight, they use a generous internal width that provides a stable platform for the 2.25" wide tyres. Keeping inline with the wheelset, the XT-Easton is finished off with a high quality Easton EA70 cockpit that's complete with Yeti lock-on grips and a WTB Rocket V saddle. What is perhaps most surprising with the new XT build kit is the price, being one of the best-value kits for you to dress up your new frame with. Quality tubeless wheels, a flawless Deore XT drivetrain and Ice Tech hydraulic disc brakes - what more could you want?

From MyMountain.com.au:
"Get set to swing your leg over what is possibly the most highly regarded bike of the season - the 29er SB95 from Yeti Cycles. With 5" of travel courtesy of the already proven Switch suspension design and the ability to take up to 140mm forks up front, the SB95 is a uniquely capable All Mountain 29er in a market filled with dull and uninspiring XC bikes and carbon hardtails. First of all, let's get this straight; Yeti is far from being a bandwagon-follower. Quite the opposite in fact, as they tend to be the sort of company that sets their own trends in the search for faster, more capable and more fun mountain bikes to help you shred the trail. So while they likely could have rushed something to market sooner, they stuck to their guns and held out to ensure that their dual suspension 29er debut would shatter all expectations of what was possible on a big wheeled mountain bike. What we've got here then is a 29er that is supple & stable, but with an enthusiastic and ground-hugging personality that is set to take riders up more technical climbs and down rockier descents in a way that is still disctinctly 'Yeti'. Geometry is modern and the SB95 is designed to be run with..." read more HERE
