Yeti SB95C

yeti sb95c

The Yeti SB95C, simply the most advanced frame and 29er offered Yeti to date.

This is the culmination of more than six years of work and testing on the SB platform. There’s the revolutionary Switch Technology suspension platform, which received rave reviews on the SB-95, for snappy pedaling and predictable bump absorption; the slack, low-slung geometry that keeps the bike attached to the trail; and a new carbon frame that makes the whole package lighter and livelier.

And now Yeti has the SB95C, which carries the same progressive geometry, short chain stays, and five-inch travel as its 29er predecessor but wraps it all in a light, stiff high-mod carbon frame that is the result of years of R&D and testing on the trails of Colorado. The one-bike quiver? This could be it.

Specs:
TRAVEL – 5.00″ (127MM)
WEIGHT – 5.75 LBS (2.6 KG)
SIZES – SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE, X-LARGE
COLORS – TURQUOISE, CARBON
R.SHOCK – FOX CTD ADJUST K+ (7.5”X2.0”)
B.BRACKET – 73MM SHELL
R.WHEEL – 142MM SPACING – 12MM AXLE
F.DERAILLEUR – DIRECT LOW MOUNT (E-TYPE)
SEATPOST – 30.9MM DIAMETER
BUILD KIT – ENDURO, RACE, PRO

Otus Safe Sounds

otus

Otus, the safe way to listen to music, podcasts, & audio books and still hear traffic.

In many states it is illegal to operate a vehicle (yes that includes bikes and skateboards) with both earbuds in your ear. More states are creating legislation every year. It is dangerous, however, in all 50 states and Canada. O-tus IS the solution!

With O-tus 15 watt near-ear speakers, you can hear background sounds (bikes, cars, emergency vehicles, and your friend’s whining) and have your own personal surround sound stereo. All without long chords to tangle and untangle.

Why Otus?
The convenience of stereo speakers on the go! When you listen to music in your home, you can do other things that require listening. Like answer the phone, talk to friends, hear the door bell, the microwave, the smoke alarm etc. O-tus Safe Sounds are the same thing for you on the move. O-tus mounts directional speakers near your ear, not in them. So, you can hear music and other sounds at the same time. Just like in your home!
