So I've got a 2012 ST kit with the updated double row bearing kit. It's currently on a cr500 and was wondering if anyone has gone from that year to a '16 ST and noticed a big difference. Would like to jump on the Yeti wagon, but haven't been able to talk myself into it so far. I can get onto a '16 for a pretty good end of year sale and that's why I thought I'd throw the question out there.

Definitely worth the upgrade! The new track will put that 500 power to use. I'd definitely recommend demoing a yeti before jumping ship.

The 2016 ts is a lot more refined and efficient than the 2012 was. The 2107 is even better

16 and up

the 16 is a great kit, the ones in our riding group have been trouble free all year, better suspension better track more money, they work great. I don't think you would regret buying in.

New track, shock rebuilt, tss on the old kit, you would be about 75% there.

I went from a 15 ST with fixed strut to a 16 ST with TSS and noticed a very large difference. I think most of that is due to the TSS though. I also have a 16 yeti and find it to be a very large step up from the timbersled in most conditions. Definitely worth the money if you are able to, I am probably going to be getting rid of my timbersled next year for another yeti.

Haven't tried the 17 kits from timbersled yet.
