Conundrum: Upgrade to a SB66C, or wait and see if Yeti releases a 180mm version.

Maybe some of the insiders can help. Thinking of upgrading from my 66a to a 66c, but would wait if Yeti were to offer a longer travel version in the next few months, which would make sense as the All Mountain market seems to be settling at 6.7 inches. Insiders? Any rumors?

I wouldn't hold your breath on a long travel sb66. I talked with a few of the guys at a demo last week and they said it's something that they would love, but it's not in the cards for a while. They are going to dial in the sb66c then sb95c and then probably go smaller before they go bigger.

And not to raise a ruckus but why go to a sb66c? You really want to loose the pound? I guess the carbon is probably stiffer but I couldn't justify it. I would put money into parts before I swapped frames........ Unless your already rocking a xtr/xx build with carbon wheels.

Carbon frame is the only upgrade I have left. I've only talked to two people that had both and they say the carbon rails even harder than the aluminum....but that could have just been initial stoke.
