welCome to the tribe. 

Congratulations on your 

purChase of a new yeti.

We are confident your new bicycle will exceed 
your expectations for value, performance, and 
ride quality. Each frameset and component 
has been custom specified and designed to 
enhance your riding experience. Whether you 
are a beginner cyclist, or a seasoned pro, 
your Yeti bicycle will provide endless hours of 
two-wheeled fun. 

This model specific manual is designed to 
be used in conjunction with the general Yeti 
Owner’s Manual and the manuals supplied by 
the suspension manufactures. If you did not 
receive the Yeti owner’s manual or the manual 
provided by the suspension manufacturer 
download the materials off the Internet, or 
contact your local dealer.

Bicycling can be a hazardous activity 
even under the best of circumstances. 
Proper maintenance of your bicycle is your 
responsibility and when done properly helps 
reduce the risk of injury and damage to your 
bicycle. 

This manual outlines basic setup and 
maintenance recommendations of your new 
Yeti. Because it is impossible to anticipate 
every situation  or condition that may occur 
during the assembly, setup, and maintenance 
of your bicycle, Yeti recommends that all 
service and repairs be performed by your 
local authorized Yeti Dealer. 

This manual contains many “Warnings” and 
“Cautions” concerning the consequences 
of failure to maintain or inspect your bicycle. 
The word “Warning” indicates a potentially 
hazardous situation in which , if not avoided, 
could result in serious injury or death. The 
word “Caution”  indicates a potentially 
hazardous situation in which, if not avoided 
may result in minor injuries or damage to 
your bicycle or a component of your bicycle. 
Be sure to read and understand all of the 
Warnings and Cautions listed in the manual. 

Warning: Make sure you review and understand the warnings, instructions, and content of this manual and accompanying 
manuals for your bicycle. 

Warning: technological advances have made bicycles and bicycle components more complex and the pace of innovation is 
increasing. it is impossible for this manual or the accompanying manuals to provide all the information required to properly 
repair and/or maintain your bicycle. in order to help minimize the chances of an injury, it is critical for you to have work 
performed by an authorized Yeti retailer.
