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 manufacturers. 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.

LIFETIME WARRANTY
HERE’S EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT OUR LIFETIME WARRANTY:
All 2019 (or newer) frames, including the Switch Infinity, are covered for life against damage
due to manufacturing defects for the original purchaser. Paint and finish are covered for 1-
year. We will repair or replace, at our discretion, any frame we deem defective. There are a
few conditions: you must register it online at yeticycles.com and you must take it to an
authorized Yeti Cycles dealer for processing. Warranty does not cover damage due to
ordinary wear and tear, neglect or intentional destruction. From a slingshot or your truck.
If you happen to have a crash or non-warranty situation, we’ll get you back on the trail with a
reasonable replacement price. Same conditions as above.
Lifetime Warranty applies to all 2019 and newer frames (including the SB100). Model year
2018 and older frames will be covered under our previous warranty (5-year or 2-year based
on time of purchase).
Simple as that. No fine print.
DISCLAIMER
YETI Cycles is not responsible for any damages to you or others arising from riding,
transporting or other use of your bicycle. In the event that your frame breaks or
malfunctions, YETI Cycles shall have no liability or obligation beyond the repair or
replacement of your frame pursuant to the terms outlined in the warranty.
*If you have a warranty concern, please contact your authorized Yeti dealer.
