Yeti Cycles Model Guides

Introduction

Yeti is a high-end mountain bike brand that was founded in 1985 by John Parker in California. Parker started the company as a way to produce high-quality bikes for himself and his friends. They chose the name "Yeti" because of their extreme, almost mythical adventures in the mountains.

Yeti quickly gained a reputation for producing rugged, durable, and high-performing bikes for serious mountain bikers. They became popular for their innovative designs and use of high-quality materials, such as titanium and carbon fiber. The brand also gained recognition for their unique paint jobs and distinctive turquoise color, inspired by the turquoise mines near their headquarters.

In the early 90s, Yeti was one of the first companies to introduce a full-suspension mountain bike, which helped revolutionize the sport.

Today, Yeti offers a wide range of mountain bikes, including trail, cross-country, enduro, and downhill models. Their bikes are known for their exceptional handling, durability, and performance in the most challenging terrains. Yeti's commitment to quality and innovation has made them a beloved brand among serious mountain bikers worldwide.

The Technology Behind Yeti's Bikes

Yeti is known for their cutting-edge technology and innovative designs. Here are just a few of the trademarked or special technologies and components that the company uses in their bikes:

Switch Infinity Suspension

The Switch Infinity suspension system is a patented technology that provides unparalleled performance and control on even the roughest terrain. This system features a translating pivot that moves upward as the bike compresses, providing excellent anti-squat characteristics and a consistent pedaling platform.

Carbon Fiber Construction

Yeti uses only the highest-quality carbon fiber in the construction of their bikes, resulting in frames that are incredibly lightweight, strong, and responsive. Their carbon fiber frames are designed to offer maximum stiffness and minimum weight, ensuring that riders get the most out of each pedal stroke.

Turq Series

The Turq series is a line of high-end Yeti bikes that feature the latest in carbon fiber technology. These bikes are designed to be incredibly lightweight and responsive, with features like internal cable routing, Boost spacing, and custom shock tunes that offer unparalleled performance.

C-Series

The C-Series is a line of Yeti bikes that offer the same quality and performance as the Turq series, but at a more affordable price point. These bikes feature a slightly heavier carbon layup and slightly less advanced suspension technology, but still offer excellent performance and value.

Fox Suspension

Yeti bikes are equipped with Fox suspension components, including front and rear shocks and forks. These components are designed to work seamlessly with the Switch Infinity suspension system, providing excellent damping and control on even the toughest terrain.

Warranty

Yeti offers a limited lifetime warranty on all of their frames, giving riders peace of mind that their investment is protected. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, and is transferrable to subsequent owners.
