Everything has been improved on this bike since earlier years, including hydroformed main tubes, the carbon seatstays with FlexPivot technology, and the ultra-stiff oversized aluminum chainstays. Yeti 575 models defined the XC racing industry for several years, and this newest version will also not disappoint for high performance climbing, descending and fast XC single track runs. This post has full specs on the Yeti 575 Pro XTR
The Element 50 comes equipped with a Fox rear shock and fork and Rocky Mountain’s revolutionary ABC Pivot technology, allowing for significant increases in stiffness over traditional sealed bearing pivots, while reducing the bike’s overall weight.
A very competitive 29er mountain XC bike similar to the 970, but with a different mix of components like FORM 7005 series aluminum frame tubing. This material is very durable and light, combined with SRAM X7 and SRAM X9 drivetrain and RockShox Custom Revelation RL 29 Air U-Turn 20mm fork. The 950 has the Smoothlink Suspension System, which dramatically reduces chain growth to eliminate pedal bob. The 950 also employs ABC angular contact polymer bushings to reduce weight and stiffen the rear end. Climb like a rock star and descend with extreme braking power from Formula RX brake calipers and levers. A lot of top level components and a very high tech 29er machine could quickly become your new best mate!
