Brand new cult cars from overseas
"Yeti Beti" is the name of the line that was created specifically for women and currently comprises two lines. On the "ASRc Beti", the rear triangle offers 102 millimetres of travel and the geometry is trimmed for fast cross-country use. With a 120 millimeter fork at the front, this results in a steering angle - depending on the frame size - of 68 to 69.1 degrees, while the seat angle measures a climbing-friendly 72.5 to 73.8 degrees.
The Yeti has designed the "SB5c Beti" for heavier use. Here, 127 millimetres of suspension travel encourage a brisker pace, Yeti praises it as the ideal trail bike. There is a lot of brainpower and technology in the rear triangle: the rear triangle moves along a double piston rod during compression, Yeti promises high pedal efficiency and ideal suspension properties even in the second half of the suspension travel.
Women-specific is implemented on both bikes: The "ASRc Beti" uses 27.5 inch wheels on the XS and S frame sizes, while the Medium, Large and XLarge have 29er wheels in the frame. The "SB5c Beti" always has 27.5 wheels. A WTB Diva saddle is mounted on the seat post, the grips are reduced in diameter and the handlebars are slightly narrower than on men's bikes at 720 millimetres. The crank arms measure 170 millimetres for frame sizes XS and S.
At Pivot, the focus of innovation was also on the trail bike, the result of which is the brand new "Mach 429 Trail". As the name suggests, 29er wheels are used (27.5 wheels should also fit), and the new Boost standard with 148 millimeter mounting width is installed on the rear triangle. The rear triangle - which incorporates the engineering skills of Dave Weagle with the latest version of the DW link - offers 116 millimeters of travel. However, Pivot promises that the rear suspension feels like 100 millimeters uphill and 130 millimeters downhill.
The option to mount a front derailleur, designed for the new side-swing front derailleurs from Shimano, is located at chainring height and is really simple. The internally routed cables also ensure a simple appearance, and the cable outlet of a dropper post can also be routed through the seat tube. The bike is available in various build kits - from SLX to XTR level, as well as in blue and white.
