I’m interested in a XC bike as my transition patrol is way too gnarly for XC rides. Any thoughts? Never had a yeti either so would be interest in people’s experience with yeti frames

Yeti does have a lifetime warranty. From their site, using the SB115 as an example, but its the same for all their bikes. LIFETIME WARRANTY The SB115 frame and Switch Infinity link are covered by a Lifetime Warranty. You can race, jump, ford streams, shred the gnar or ride it hard. Don’t worry, you…

It looks like there was another design shange to the switch infinity for the SB115 to address the creaking and stiffness issues some noted in the SB100, the review below shows a side-by-side photo. Adding thread engagement allows it to be secure on both sides - hopefully it fixes the problems. …

Oh, I wonder if that’s changed since I looked, or if I had another reason for removing them from the shortlist. I know the SB100 was heavier for the $$ than the Blur. With a lifetime warranty, and if there’s some good LBS support if creaks occur, I’d put them in the mix next time

Interesting. The 2019 sb100 had those creaking issues, I wonder if it was fixed on the 2020? Looking forward to reading your review. I do a similar sort of riding to you, my transition patrol is way too much for riding all but the most crazy of trails…like driving a formula 1 car to the supermarket …

Hopefully it has been fixed. From what I can find there were three versions of the switch infinity for the SB100, the original that creaked and then two updates that either came loose or reduced the stiffness of the rear end. The SB115 has a “fourth” update to the switch infinity attachment hardware…

I hear you. How do you find sizing on yeti? The Yeti guide pretty accurate?

Look carefully at the Spesh lifetime warranty on their FS bikes. The rear triangle is classified as ‘suspension linkage’ and not covered under the lifetime warranty…I know many people burned by this warranty caveat.

Oh interesting, I’d not noticed that. Basically a heavy user, will maybe do 100 rides in 12 months. So they’re fine with a 3 year warranty. But a user like me who struggles to get time to mtb, would take 10 years to do the same 100 rides. So it just annoys me that after 1, 2 or 3 years, my warranty…

There’s been talk of a sb100 v2 coming to fix issues.

The online size guide has worked for me. I’m 5’8", and the medium is 5’5"-5’11". I have demoed a couple other Yetis in the last few years and the medium has always worked. And I compared geo numbers to my current bike.
