It doesnt seem to have the riot pivot. And only one shock though, air shocks are kind of a pain with the spring rates changing so often while riding. Probably works better then independant suspension.
so off base, They Yetis have been super solid the last 4 years, Not one kit here has had any issues other than the rear bumper being thin where the carbon tail ends and that was redesigned for 2026
The last three kits I have personally seen break where all at the end past the upper idler wheels. Actually one of them completely shattered along the side near the idler wheel. I've also seen the front get chipped from rocks and stumps. We ride some pretty marginal snow early season and late season beginning in early November and lasting until June some years. It's concerning enough that I will not chance it given the riding areas we ride and the snow conditions. I think 90% of the riders out there who sit down and ride and have ample snow will never have issues. It's the other 10% of the riders I would be concerned with. Looks like they beefed up the carbon on the new 26 kits, time will tell if they are stronger.
surely ewe have a pic to support that failure claim?
All three are close friends of mine. Only one is still riding his Yeti after a full carbon tunnel exchange ($1000) + shipping to AK since there are zero dealers in the 1000 mile radius of us. One buddy finished the season out by using aluminum and rivets to fix since he is very handy with working on aircraft. Guess you'll just have to take my word for it as I am not here to post failure photos of other peoples kits, only here to share observations.
if ewer going to trash a product then support the claim with a photo, I,m pretty certain they have a cell phone pic"
