That very much depends if you have insured your bike separately rather than included it in your house contents insurance, I stopped paying £1400 per annum to insure a Yeti 160e and a Pivot Shuttle LT, I instead invested in Hiploks AX series of protection and alarmed my integral garage.
Why is it a £2500 loss, you've ridden it for 2 years or more, had smiles in your miles, it's pretty naive of you to think the value would stay static given the advances over the past few years, be realistic, it's probably out of warranty, high miles, if you're holding on to what is rather than...
Check out Ribridesemtb on YouTube where he reviews the Yeti 160e in all it's glory.
Feel free to ask anything about either bike, the Pivot has just been sold, it goes on Thursday, as I ride the Yeti a lot more but I can give you a true review.

Good Evening
I only get 400 characters, the Yeti simply outshines the Pivot on every level, sixfinity is I think superior to the DW Link, it's sharper both in looks and ride feel, simply bottomless and fast as F*ck.

Well back in the day here in beautiful Yorkshire it was like it is now, now it's a choice of Samsung or Apple, similar back in the day with bikes, Orange or Pace,for me, Pace won every time, the quality of frames and forks, I had Pace Monsters on a Santa Cruz Super 8, their quality was simply...
2 years plus on the 160e, I can only report good things, 2 plus years trouble free, not even an error code, choose your weapon wisely but if you're not into following the crowd I'd put your money firmly in the Yeti camp, whatever you choose, enjoy the ride.
There was a time that the bike / brand was the determining factor when purchasing a new bike,now it seems that all that matters is the motor, makes me wonder if we will ever see the time when we purchase the bike with a choice of preferred motor as motor choice is becoming as divisive than...
If pushed then the Crestline but with their limited number run it doesn't instill confidence.
Santa Cruz after 20 plus years of VPP and their patent having expired have come up with a real contender but have shot themselves in the foot with having a non-removeable battery and only 600wh.
I've...
