Team Tested : Renthal Fatbar Carbon 780mm Review

Long Term Test: Yeti Cycles SB95 Carbon Review

Yeti Cycles SB95 in it’s natural habitat, the mountains above Boulder, Colorado. Just a little about me, so you know what this bike has gone through, under my guidance. I’m 5’11” (181cm) and weigh 145 lbs (66kg). I’ve been mt biking for 20 years. While I don’t consider myself a bruiser by any means, I don’t ride gently on my bikes. I use them. I put them away wet. I’m not great with maintenance. I like to race occasionally, and I like to ride with my friends on a lot of the well known big rides in the mountains, like Monarch Crest, Wasatch Crest, and Two Elks. In other words, I’m a pretty normal rider. I know what works, what doesn’t, and I’ve seen a lot of junk over the years. And I love to get out there and ride new places, and have a bike that’s ready for new challenges.
