 We strive to make the best bikes in the world. 

Because of this dedication, we continually make changes to 
our bikes as needed.  As the bikes are improved, assembly 
and setup instructions may be affected. Any amendments to 
the existing Owner’s Manual can be found on our website at 
www.yeticycles.com.
