The Latest From Yeti

The 303R is officially a part of the arsenal of bikes (it is not replacing the current DH rig, the 303). The "R" in the name is indicative of what the rail does for the suspension: it deals with compression ratios, allowing Yeti to fine tune how/when the shock ramps up, and whether it is linear or progressive and so on. Other wise, it is a tradition single pivot design and wheel path (the twin rails on the 303 are what give it a unique wheel path and handling characteristics. It looks sick. You can be sure that this bike will be around this season on all levels of racing.
