I have a Yeti ASX and I love it - - so much in fact that I am selling it.
My son has a Santa Cruz Bullit and is happy with it.

My actual son was able to do a real bargain build on his Bullit. Bought the frame from a friend for $350 and moved most of the parts off his old XTS Moto to flesh it out. 5th Element blew late last year, but was able to buy one of the closeout Swinger replacements off the SC site this winter cheap. So he's back up and rolling.
