Pros: What is the technical term for "the bike sticks to the track and mows over the rock gardens like no tomorrow"?

Cons: Thy self is thy limitation. This bike will have you day dreaming about steep climbs and fast down hill banks while you're sitting with your family during Sunday Mass.

Recommendation: Stop being a poser by riding a stumpy. Go pick one up and get your butt on the trail. NorCal.

Pros: 2nd Yeti on the rack. Join the tribe.

Cons: Wish I had a beefier fork.

Recommendation: Love this bike. 2nd year riding it. So nice on the climbs and smoothe on the DH.

Pros: Light but long travel and durable. Suspension keeps rear wheel glued to the ground--amazing technical climber AND fantastic descender. Amazing geometry--comfortable in all conditions.

Cons: Slightly noticeable bob for a clyde on a standing climb.

Recommendation: Single best all-round bike I've encountered. I test rode 36 bikes from all major and most minor brands before I settled on this one.

Model/Year: Yeti 575/2010

Pros: Great on climbs. Handles great on Rocky terrain.

Cons: Had to go with a Thinner rear tire due to rubbing when cornering hard.

Recommendation: Become a tribe member

Pros: It's a Yeti...agile climber and fun on the decents.

Cons: My only con is I don't have another one

Recommendation: I recommed everyone join the tribe.

Pros: Exceptionally light bike for a AM built bike. Great suspension, components, frame, and super comfortable for all day rides.

Cons: None

Recommendation: If a AM built bike is what you are looking for, this is the one for you. I highly recommend this to everyone that wants a great MTB.

Pros: Handles like a dream almost like riding on rails. Will take alot of abuse and eats anything that you can dish out. Pedal efficiency is great with pro-pedal.

Cons: Front end seems to be a lttle light side, which in turn seems to make the front end want to come up during some climbs.

Recommendation: The best bike I have ever owned. I have a 2008 575 and I have put it through more than it is designed for and it takes it and asks for more. I also let a buddy ride it before he went Moab last year and he came back from Moab with a 575. He said his just wasn't cutting out there after riding mine. Go Tribe!

Pros: Light for a long travel bike. Durable. Unbelievable combination of climbing AND descending ability. Suspension keeps rear wheel glued to trail through any terrain. Super comfortable for all-day epics.

Cons: None.

Recommendation: This is all the bike 99% of riders will ever need. I'ts tough, but not a freeride bike. It's light, but not necessarily a cross country racer. What it is, is a fantastic trailbike at a great price.

Pros: The downhill platform Weight Company Service

Cons: Petaling Efficancy so-so without Pro-Pedal

Recommendation: This is a TRAIL bike. As in do it all and more. I own the 2007 (the bike with the knuckle still) 575 and it is a dream. It climbs great with weight distributed forward when you climb, and it's descending abilitys are confidence ispiering, you want to go faster. I would recommend this bike to anyone.

Pros: Super control in almost any condition. Surprising uphill capability and a great downhiller. Worth every penny.

Cons: The ride is a bit compact.

Recommendation: If you've ever felt a bit out of control on a ride, this bike really compensate for any lack of skill you might have. Well designed, well made. I recommend it to everyone I talk to.

Pros: Best climbing and downhill bike I have ever rode... Can handle ANYTHING you would ever want to ride, if you have the skillz. The adjustable rear suspension is great for switching between climbing and downhill. It has conquered most of the hardest trails in CO. I will never go back.

Cons: nothing

Recommendation: BUY THIS BIKE!!!

Pros: This bike is a great climber, and smooth over rough terrain.

Cons: Nothing

Recommendation: I ride mostly cross country in SoCal. This bike climbs even loose technical trails really well, but descents with extreme confidence. I have an X-9 build, with a TALAS fork. I love it.

Pros: everything - - at 29 pounds with Talas fork at 100mm, it's a good climber - with 2.2" or 2.3" Chunders, I get away with murder downhill - super responsive steering, supreme handling - handles jumps/drops with ease - skims over washboards, baby heads, and roots

Cons: - seat post seems to glide down and requires more frequent tuning than I'd like - mild bob when hammering

Recommendation: I own the 2008 Yeti 575 carbon with a custom build (Custom Mavic wheels with King hubs, Talas 36 fork, Chris King headset, XTR components, bashguard, chain guide) and a 2007 Yeti 575 Enduro, and I am a happy member of "The Tribe." I test several bikes before buying this; I lent my 2007 575 to a buddy who has dreamed of a Nomad, and he is likely to build up his own Yeti, as is still another riding mate! Great do-it-all MTB.
