1998 Homegrown Factory Suspension XT

With the demise of the Homegrown Factory Suspension LXT for 1998, the Homegrown Factory Suspension XT became the entry-level model in the XC-oriented full suspension bikes featuring John Castellano's Sweet Spot® URT design. Though the 3.75 inches of rear suspension travel was the same as the Homegrown All Mountain line, the frame geometry and shorter-travel suspension fork make the Homegrown Factory Suspension' a sportier handler. As in 1997, the 6061 aluminum frames were made by Anodizing, Inc. in Portland, Oregon.

1998 Homegrown Straight 6

The Homegrown Straight 6 took Lawwill's proven design and applied it to a Homegrown, in the form of Vertical Stroke™ dropouts and a Rock Shox Coupe Deluxe pull shock. The Homegrown Straight 6 and the 1999 Homegrown Straight 8 are unique in that they are the only full-suspension Homegrowns actually produced by Yeti (7005 main triangle only). These frames were only available in 15 inch, 17 inch, and 19 inch sizes. The geometry of these frames featured significantly slacker head tubes than all other Homegrowns, in order to accommodate the long-travel fork.
