Warrantied a fair number of Yeti carbon in my day.

I guess Yeti's carbon should be saved for less demanding circumstances... Like photo shoots and chillin in the yard.

You can bet that it will get cleaned up a fair amount before production.

Maybe you should try reading the article in its entirety. Production alloy frames, "slatted to ship in the next week"

Side note: by no means would I expect this to be too close to the finished product. Notice the use current and previous design elements. Typical Scott protocol when it comes time to develop something new. Kinda like Voltage/Nitrous prototype...

So after reading this blog in its entirety I feel like there wasn't a single descent explanation of how this bike actually works. Totally understandable seeing as how this is the first evidence we've seen and the clue were offered is a blurred image of 1/2 the bike. So if you're still reading I would like to share my perspective on the thought that's goin through everyone's mind as the read this post; "How does it work?..." So to begin, take a look at the rear triangle. It s a one-piece swingarm chassis mounted on a single pivot to the seat tube. The body of this chassis extends past the pivot and around the shock, where it attaches to a vertically positioned link (the V-link). The shock is mounted to the front triangle just above and forward of the BB. The previously mentioned v-link attaches to the other eyelet of the shock and creates compression when the swing arm is activated. So... Still w/ me? Really? ... Cool. As I was saying; a one piece swingarm mounts to the seat tube and compresses the shock via the vertical link. Perpendicular to the vertical link is a horizontal link (H- link) which attaches at one end to the frame and extends forward attaching to the v-link at a pivot that is just below the v-links shock mount. The h-link creates a floating pivot point that allows for the tuning of either compression rate or axle path. Maybe both? Hopefully it at least helps with the brake-jac. This unique prototype frame appears to share similar designs to previous Scott bikes, with the swing arm having almost identical lines to that found on the later Scott Nitrous frames. And it seems one might say the front triangle is a hybrid between the Genius LT & the Voltage. So yeah, that's what's I got to say. Not sayin I'm right. Just sayin... If you're still reading, thanks!

It's a Voltage! Oh wait, no its not...but it wants to be.
