Yeti 2011 : Le 575 évolu

Le constructeur américain vient de mettre à jour la fiche de son enduro, le 575, qui évolue pour cette version 2011.
The front triangle still sports the sexy custom hydro-formed tubeset that has given it its distinctive look, but we have added a tapered head tube to increase front-end stiffness, added ISCG guides and completely redesigned the main pivot and main pivot junction. The main pivot now has double row bearings for increased stiffness and durability. A new hydro-formed main pivot junction increases stiffness and fatigue strength, allows more clearance, and facilitates a direct mount front derailleur for better performance. We added cable stops for dropper seat posts as well. The rear chains stays have been completely redesigned as well. Gone are the svelte chain stays -- these have been replaced by oversized alloy chain stays with internal cable routing. Not only are they extremely durable, but they look good too. They feature our Yeti chip system, so you can run 12mm x 142mm QR through axle or standard QR. The carbon seat stays remain intact. The geometry has also been revised for aggressive trail riding. We lowered the bottom bracket a bit and slackened out the head tube. The 575 has long set the bar for all-mountain performance and now it has even more flexibility. You can still build it up light weight, but you can also build it to tackle ridiculous terrain. It keeps getting better...
