    Three thumbs up!

    Trippy how that eccentric moves throughout the travel. Ain't selling my 575 yet though.

    I remember seeing the photos of the original bike that this was based off of. The workmanship of that bike was incredible.

    interesting, albeit a little added complexity.

    Unnngghhhghhhghh (drooling sounds). Yeti geometry and handling with a brand spanking new suspension technology that has withstood two years of Yeti testing? Oh crap...look out wallet.

    Talk about an a$$ load of money! XTR kit will run $6150. Carbon frame is TBD (Think Big Dollars). Wonder if I could convince Santa in dropping one of these bad boys off.

    Oh crap - it's official.
    http://www.yeticycles.com/#/bikes/SB66/1/

    And, if you dig into the FAQs, you will see an SB-95 mentioned - "if we were to use the same naming convention on a 29r with 5" of travel it would be the SB-95..."

    Oh - and a carbon SB-66 in December. Now I really hate Chris Conroy, and so will my wife. No wonder they couldn't keep Gwin, Blenkinsop and Leov - spending money on product development as well as racer development. Damn you Yeti...

    That eccentric pivot looks like it might be a source of potential creaks.
