When the Circus Comes to Town


I had the privilege of being in temporary possession of a Yeti Big Top. They were kind enough to drop a demo off at the shop for employees and friends. The Big Top is a big deal - Yeti has been resistant to building a 29" wheel bike and this is their first crack at it. I was concerned that they would be behind the curve, but they've done a beautiful job - it descends like a dream. I forgot I was riding a hardtail and was ripping through corners and taking step-downs and ledges very confidently. Oh, and it goes up too. Very efficiently. My new dream is to have a Big Top and an ASr-7 - I think that would cover every riding situation I could ever think of from X/C racing to lift served.
