Not yet... these are spy shots from sea otter... i think this particular proto was built for slopestyle... A shorter travel (and burlier from the looks of it) 303. Not confirmed yet but this maybe the new ASX (with rails): Don't show it to your son, he may forget about the 575...hehe Of course, there is also the production ready 7's...

He loves the 575, brought it to Palawan with it, been running around a bt. If he sees that frame he'll want to replace he ASX!
It never ends... until he gets a job. Or gets sponsored

The boy needs a job, or more accurately a career, given his tastes! Or sponsorship...

Yeti is turning into the Nicolai of the US! It's a good thing their being so adventurous with their engineering (and being so open with their prototypes.)
The 575 is really nice. Light but it doesn't feel flimsy at all. The Pike on the other hand is not doing so well. Doesn't track the ground well and is a bit stiff despite proper sag and low compression. I hope it's just breaking in! Or maybe i just miss the Totem. hehe

Both of my Revelations (basically a QR Pike) had almost no oil when I rebuilt them.

Both of my Revelations (basically a QR Pike) had almost no oil when I rebuilt them. I know that not getting full travel is a symptom of having too much oil, but can that also be a symptom of having too little? I don't think I'm getting full travel. A lighter spring may be in order. Do you use the compression adjustment often on your Revelations? Here is another, sleeker looking, Yeti prototype. Based on the 4x from the looks of it.

Do you use the compression adjustment often on your Revelations? No lubrication (or dirty oil) in the lowers will make the fork sticky through it's travel, slow down the rebound and compression from friction and basically make it feel like @#$%. Oh yeah, I almost never buy a fork that doesn't have compression adjustment. But I like to tweak my bike based on what I'm riding as I'm somewhat particular...

I had taste conflict issues between Santa Cruz and Yeti cos of their single pivot designs. BUllit won over the ASX (sorry) for me that time. Four bar linkage is another matter though
