a 29’r hardtail with 

a true yeti feel.

1.

the Big top’s front triangle is constructed with custom butted 
and tapered 7005 aluminum yeti pure tubing. this makes the 
frame lightweight and strong without the use of gussets. the 
unique shape perfectly compliments the shape of the headtube for 
increased front-end stiffness.

2.

set up and run a 1x10 drivetrain with a chain guide cleanly and 
efficiently with the removable isCG 05’ tab. the tabs are lighter 
than a welded version and they are easily removable when running 
a traditional 2x10 or 3x10 drivetrain. 

3.

the high modulus carbon fiber rear triangle keeps the frame 
laterally stiff while providing a more forgiving ride on rougher 
terrain. 

4.

Using our new inset headtube on the Big top allows for a larger 
headtube with more welding area, increased stiffness, and lower 
overall ride height. 

5.

mount a shimano Direct mount D type or sram high Direct mount 
front derailleur to the Big top with ease. 

6.

the yeti chip system allows for an easy switch between a standard 
135mm Qr or the142mm x 12mm shimano thru-axle system. 

7.

run your Big top 29’r as a single speed with a set of single speed 
drops. the chainstay length is adjustable from 17.3” to 18.0”.
