Yeti MT | Riding the Perfect UK Trail Bike

We headed out for a test ride on the brand new Yeti MT. Conditions were very slick, wet and loads of fun. If you’re looking for a one bike does-it-all, you’re in the right place.

Riding the Yeti MT

The T-Series carbon has a lovely ride feel to it, and backs up the premium price point instantly. It’s takes out a lot of vibrations and noise from the bike when you’re riding the jank. The carbon frame is reinforced with Vectran® liquid crystal polymer fibres. Vectran is used in the Mars Rover, no joke! Combine this with Yeti’s undeniable build quality and you have yourself a frame fit for kings. More importantly, it’s absolutely stunning! The seat tube angle is nice and steep, keeping you in a all-day riding position and it climbs really well. While the Switch Infinity link used on Yeti’s of the past was innovative and provided an amazing platform, it was never the best for the UK and all the grit and grime that comes with winter riding. The Sixfininty design gets rid of the need for the extra Kashima, and gives the frame designers a little more wiggle room. The Fox Float shock is custom tuned so just keep an eye on your pressures, it may run slightly different to what you’re used to. It’s a lively ride-feel. You are rewarding for pushing power through the pedals or pumping/jumping into transitions, which is what you want from a trail bike!
