Regardless of never having ridden the trail before, I followed Yeti’s own race mechanic and R&D test pilot Dave Ziegman. Well, I followed Dave as best I could, but still was able to watch his lines and put this bike through the paces. At first I played with the different Boost valve settings to see what sort of difference it made in the bikes ability to pedal efficiently and climb up rocky trail. My consensus was that of the Yeti crew, leave it off- you don’t need it. The bike doesn’t bob and suck energy from your legs, it simply goes forward in a most efficient manner.
