I owned an SB130LR that was fitted with Factory FOX 160mm up front and a Factory DHX2 coil shock in back, and it was both the best bike Ive owned to date and the one I liked the least and ultimately sold it quicker than any other bike Ive ever owned. Main reason, I didn't like the twitchy feel, it blasted thru everything, but not as stable for my riding as I would have liked. My new Devinci Troy feels so much more stable and it is a less expensive bike, tho is heavier. So I think the Yetis are insane good, but with some compromises that will annoy people, ie like the twitchy light feeling frame. Now, Ritchie Rude blasts away on the 160, which does feel way more stable, and I sure AF dont ride as hard ashim, but I feel way more stable on the Troy, but penalty for uphill speed for sure. Best bike Ive owned was my Knolly Warden Carbon that it has been 2 bikes since I've owned it and I still think about it.

@everythingsucks: true, but we are tired of PB having articles on motorbikes we care zilch about. Thats the main gripe.

@BullMooose: "shuttling a mtb" correct, as you do at a bike park, as you ride lifts at a ski resort...making an analogy of sled skiing to Ebiking is incorrect...you still need to pedal in flat sections, out of turns, etc., while going downhill at a park. Ebikes still providing power all over. The whole comparison to skiing is just plain retarded, let alone the cook OP and his joke to tele-skiing.

I truly wish nothing but loss in $$s for all these companies designing and manufacturing these moronic bikes. I can understand having a couple options from brands like Trek or Spesh, but Yeti?? Who's going to buy Yeti's $9k Ebike, or Spesh's $15k Sworks Kinevo?? Its freakn retarded. And then Commencal has a pretty massive spread of offerings in this category?? Again, wish nothing but $$ loss for all these companies. All these are are a toy or luxury item, or a needed bike for those who may be disabled, etc. This is not a mainstream product that PB has to waste our time producing an article on.

@Adlex: no what matters most is science. Yes, you def should be considered to have a mental illness, just as every other mental illness where the mind is "obscured" in some way or another. You 2 posts here literally write out the playbook on how this whole T thing is a mental illness. How can any of you argue that putting yourselves thru unnatural chemical treatments is, in fact....natural?? Misalignment of the body and mind is the textbook definition of mental illness and its quite alarming society has allowed this to somehow become common place instead of figuring out exactly what is going on and apply appropriate treatments. It is outlandish the PB forum gestapo allow you to even make a ludicrous comment on starting hormone treatments pre-puberty, thats just bad guy WW2 experimentation to say the least. good luck to you when society ultimately rights its course and looks at this topic as it should have been

@not-really: ohhhh my brotha my brotha... I learned-ed dat very thoroughly...and I would agree that suffering of a mentally ill human being is def not something to take lightly. It is not opinion my frnd but actually dead set in science. The concept of thinking you were not supposed to be born as you actually biologically were born as is (d.chapelle tag) but utterly ridiculous and I will be the first person in that million man march to strive to make the necessary health care provisions readily available for these people....as tiny a populous as they represent no doubt... but still 100% on board to get them the help they abs need.

@not-really: what FMD said back then wasnt offensive at all, look at that post in that TGR article. How is that "really offensive"?? Honestly it needs to be said. Im tired of this "T" craze...cuz its just that...utterly crazy. You have mentally ill people competing in categories not of their own. Its insanely preposterous.

yeah I wish we had more options here in the US besides mucoff, tho i swithced to WD40. So far I havent seen any g@y j@g-off WOKE-ism from WD yet...and key word is "yet"...then I guess I'd be going back to Dawn dish soap or just straight up water LOL Sponsors are retarded, I like how they would rather completely decouple any relationship from an athlete rather than back them up. But thats a tale as old as time, sponsors are weak.

@530220: Soooo Amaury has straight up hate for black people??

Wow....so glad we continue to put virtue signalers on a pedestal and chastise someone who made a mistake. Bravo Muc-Off you are TRULY advancing Woke ideals more and more. What a joke. Dude made a mistake, its done and over, move on. Lets not think we have to resort to taking $$ away from someone, and write articles about it keeping it in the spotlight. And WTF?? TAKE A COURSE ON RACIAL STEREOTYPING??!! LMMFAO Muc-Off and Al Sharpton would get along very well...i.e. continuing keeping racism alive and in the spotlight (oh yeah and making $$ from such activity at same time). GMAB this is ludicris
