One thing I liked about yeti was the colour schemes because you could tell what bike it was from a mile away, and it was a nice change from the "normal" colours, well at least they have a paint scheme for those who don't like the real yeti colours.

Relax people this ins't the DH 303 that we know and love..this it's cheaper little brother the DH 303R..yes they still will be producing the Current DH 303 which has two rails..their just selling this as their alternitive DownHill "buget model" trust me The words Yeti and cheaper don't go together,Just like the words Foes & standard don't.

dude you're riding a big hit so you cant say shit about yetis first. and second they changed the design to make a more affordable DH bike. Why dont you read some articles and look at the suspension motion of the old 303 before saying crap like that about the new one...

i love the looks off this bike,it's more streamed lined than the old one,simple and yet easy suspension design.For most who doesn't have enougth money to buy the normal 303DH this is more adfortable DH race bike from Yeti and it looks fast.

The bike pictured weighs about 42 lbs with downhill tubes, steel spring, Deetraks, Heavy @$$ e.13, and Hussefelt components. With a ti spring, lighter tubes, lighter wheels, and a lighter chainguide there is no reason why it couldn't come in at 38-39lbs. I had a chance to test ride that bike before it was sent off to interbike and I was impressed. I rode it in the 64 degree head angle position and it handled amazing. The bike feels much lighter than the weight would suggest. It pedals well and the suspension action is VERY smooth. It is also extremely quiet which was a nice touch. The best way to describe this bike would be that it is confidence inspiring. Hope this answered some people's questions...

Price cut came from Sram components? Why Yeti does not use black Fox 40 in front (2009 40 are white or black) at this model?
Bike is amazing but still like more turquoise scheme and of course Shimano Saint components. Must buy only frame Frown

they should paint it sky blue and yellow. Yeti is a snowmonster so it would be sweet with a little "Icy" colors ^-^.

Now when new ASR pictures are available I will not think anymore about new 303 because frames are both same (rear and front frame).Only linking system is different and 303 have some stronger shock mounts.

I sometimes see you pass outside my door

Hello, is it me you're looking for?

You're all I've ever wanted, and my arms are open wide

Cause you know just what´s a ride

And you know just what to do

And I want to tell you so much "I love you"

it looks cool and i like the idea but in the end its still just the same as single pivot it probably work slightly better but nothing that you would notice and its probably a lot heavier than just a single pivot the old ones were nice but i think that have gone the wrong way with this.
