Yeti Cycles has been a longtime supporter of women’s mountain biking. Over the years iconic racers such as Julie Furtado, Marla Streb, Tara Llanes, Jill Kitner, and Rosara Joseph have raced for the brand. The Golden, Colorado-based company also sponsors the all-female Yeti Beti cycling team.For 2015, Yeti taking its commitment to women’s mountain biking one step further with the introduction of women’s-specific versions of the SB5c trail bike and the ASRc cross-country racer.
Underneath the black and coral paint schemes, the Beti versions of the SB5c and ASRc are identical to the unisex versions released last summer, differing only in terms of contact points and suspension tuning.

Input from the Yeti Beti race team led the company to make several component choices to better tailor the bikes to female riders.
"We helped Yeti with the different specs and color between the current SB5c and the Yeti Beti model. We had been riding the new ASRc and SB5c since last October and loved the bikes. We told Yeti they don't need to redesign the frames, just tweak the things we are always swapping out," said Yeti Beti co-founder Amy Thomas.
