Worldwide Cyclery yeti by far

I love the color of the Evil, reminds me of a Yeti!

Pound for pound both of these bikes need more bang for the buck

Honestly, I think if you end up with either one of these you're in a pretty good place.

Haven’t ridden the SB130 but I have to say I love my Offering. Both badass bikes!

Great comparison gents. I'd love to demo both and get a feel for which one wants to get rowdy.

Too close to call... both are dream machines! Lots of $, but, lots of bike too. I'd be just as stoked to ride one as I would the other...

I know every one is looking for the silver bullet but Nate Hills says its 90 percent rider 10 percent bike, don't over think it. Bikes today are awesome and no you do not to spent 6,000 dollars to have fun and ride hard. Nice video thanks

Just bought the offering. Thanks for the help

If you all made more of these vs. videos i would watch them.

these edits are 🔥

This was my dilemma. Went with Offering and very happy about it! Don't think you can go wrong on either one.

I demoed lots of bikes last year and ended up buying a Calling. It s just so fun to ride. I modified the fork to a 150 mm and put the flip chip in the X-Low setting. Nice video again. I wish I could try that Yeti just for fun though...

Reamonn here at the shop loves his 27.5 Evil!

One big distinction: Evil is linkage driven single pivot, so it’s going to have more chain growth, but also has a naturally progressive “poppy” feel. Depending on how you set up your bike, it has either fantastic small bump compliance, or insanely good bottom out prevention. I love it, so I got a Following and plan on getting a Wreckoning eventually.

Hard choice. Both great looking bikes !

Hope you do a SB100 Vs Following MB soon please?

Can you compare the Pivot 429Trail to the Yeti 130?

The black Yeti and turquoise Evil had me completely befuddled from the get go.

can you make this video again but 2021 version! throw in the ripmo to!

Two beautiful whips

That Lil John Yeah! cracks me up. Ahahaha

Santa said just box them up and deliver to me Merry Christmas 🎄

If I was to build up the Offering, would it be okay to go with a 150mm travel fork? and does it have to have the 51mm offset?

Hi jeff, can you tell me why there is different shock on the yeti SB 150 ie; on the Turq frame fox x2 & on the C frame Dpx2 won't they ride differently & on the SB 130 Turq & C frame both have the fox DPx2 shock, I know the C frame has the performance version against the Turq having the factory ( Kashima coating ) but the internals are pretty much the same apart from the coating. Is it because there isn't a performance version of the X2 to go on the C build that's why they have the Fox DPX2 performance on the 150 C build Kind regards Drew

@WorldwideCyclery

5 жыл бұрын

That is a good question, I think they do that just because of the affordability of the DPX2. It just makes more sense to have a less expensive shock on a less expensive frame but that is definitely a question for Yeti if you really want to know why. They are going to ride a little differently but that does not necessarily mean better or worse... Just different. The DPX2 may be better for a lot of riders who are using the SB150 for more of a trail bike. I hope this helps a little!

Hi Geoff, love your videos, how would you compare the offering and 2019 comp alloy LT stumpy? Is it worth upgrading the frame? Also want to upgrade wheels to carbon

@WorldwideCyclery

5 жыл бұрын

We have not ridden that bike here at the shop so I really cannot say. :)

Two major issues with the Yeti are a press fit bottom bracket and the switch infinity system being directly in the path of wheel mud and dirt accumulation. The Evil has one of the best suspension linkage designs in terms of owner serviceability and all of the links are well away from mud and dirt being thrown by the rear wheel. I rode my 2009 Yeti AS-R for ten years, and wanted to go with Yeti again but decided on the Evil after riding both and contemplating the long-term maintenance associated with each.

Hi Jeff. The following quote is from the 2019 Bible of Bike Tests regarding the SB130: “The bike corners exceptionally well, but it requires the rider to completely shift his or her weight forward over the front end. It can actually feel unnatural and uncomfortable at first, as you timidly inch farther and farther forward, corner after corner, to get the front wheel to stick. That much forward bias would pitch you over the bars on a lot of other bikes, so it takes some practice to get used to it. Also, it takes more energy, so when you get tired and want to sit up and relax, the bike will understeer and blow corners. But when you’re switched on, the SB130 will not disappoint.” - Ryan Palmer, Bike magazine What's your take on this? Do you agree?

@WorldwideCyclery

Reviews are tough because so much comes down to rider preference and rider style. When it comes to the way a bike handles I would never try to coach someone on how to maneuver a bike that you have never ridden or try to give riding instructions to the masses. When we give these overviews we try to highlight the most important info and encourage someone to get out and ride one for themselves. :)

I buying a yeti sb130 but what about size to go ? im 178cm looking for large because i had SC Hightower large and it was perfect but not sure how does it feel compering 5.5 is the size similar?

@donnpassMTB

5 жыл бұрын

I went to size Medium just compared the geometry on my correct SC and even SB130 size M is bigger than SC so M size of Yeti should be just right for me

Good videos, but why no mention of the full bike build weights? I mean they were right there, in the stands...

Is there any new features on the 2021 Yeti sb130?

Though this is an older video, thanks for the information. That said, do you have a comparison of the Niner Rip 9 versus the Ibis Ripmo and or Yeti SB130? Blue skies, Jg

I have been considering both of these and leaning towards the yeti. I just can’t get past spending 6k on a bike that doesn’t have internal cable routing.

Hi jeff, the Yeti SB 130 can take 160 mm fork as you know from the yeti website, which would give a 0.5 of 1 deg slackening down to 65 deg upfront would that make it better on the downs , but compromise a little on the climbing abilities of the 130 ? Kind regards Drew.

Hey Drew, you've got the right idea there! Bumping up the travel on the fork will help while riding downhill but will have adverse effects while climbing.

Forgot to talk about the way the suspensions differ??? That’s what is the main thing that separates these two

my dream bike yeti sb 130... please give away this bike please 😊😊😊😊

YETI beats all..

I thought Yeti was overpriced, but looking at the price difference, and how Evil doesent offer any "unnecessarily expensive" perks that come with the price tag, id say that they easily take the cake when it comes to the "how much can we get away with" department. -.- As long as the media doesent cover any actually good value products, i guess they can go on milking the crowd as they desire. Its not like anything you get, other than the fancy branding, would warrant a ~350%ish premium over an actually competitive product(talking frame here).

Yeti, in a heartbeat. The Evil rear suspension linkage is weird looking, probably heavier, and too complex to want. Not sure why anyone would even want an Evil. Looks like you need an engineering degree to even service the Evil shock.

It seems like you're a Yeti fan. Love Evil hate Yeti. My opinion 💪🏼🤙🏼
