I’ve been riding 575′s for 7 years. On my third. The 2009. The good news is thay track starighter and stiffer that ever before. The bad news is that the tire clearance is worse than ever and can cause problems in high stress situations. The RP23 is a weak and sloppy version of the old RP3 which was awesome and held up for years.

One thing about the slightly incresed top tube length. I think it may be offset by a less slanted seat tube angle leading to an actually shorter overall reach.

As far as rear triangle stiffness, it’s very stiff since it is a single-pivot design. The entire rear triangle is a single piece without any pivots. As far as comparing the rear end to the other bikes mentioned, the Durance is the only other one with a similar rear triangle, but I can’t say since I haven’t ridden that particular bike.

Both the Ventana and Ellsworth will be solid, but I’d likely give the 575 the initial stiffness nod in my mind. But, I’d have to test them in person head-to-head to confirm. It would stand to reason that it would be stiffer though.

I can say that I never once thought the 575 as having a flexy rear-end.

Hi Jason,

The 575 carbon seems to stack up well with other high-end boutique bikes… well balanced, plush suspension, very light for its suspension travel, and one of the best-looking bikes IMO… what do think about the rear triangle stiffness? Are bikes like the Maverick Durance, Ventana El Ciclon, and Ellsworth Epiphany at an advantage in this area?

Thanks,

Rob

The only difference may be in that rear triangle, but I’d have to contact Yeti to be 100% sure. I don’t think there are any real differences though.

Jason,

Thanks for the quick post. I saw it on Jensonusa, 08,09,10 frames is there much of a difference? Thanks again.
