How will Yeti’s travel-enhanced enduro rig build upon its race-winning DNA?
Every frame design has a shelf life. In the past, brands would typically let the same model run for three years before a refresh. But in the current climate, it seems like two years is all you get from a design before it falls out of favour. Fast fashion? To a degree, yes, as the frame designs don’t actually change that much year to year. And when they do, it’s often more about making the new model standout from the noise, rather than showcasing a genuinely innovative design.
So the fact that Yeti managed to get four good years out of the SB150 platform goes to show just how right the original was. Thanks to Richie Rude,
