Dillon Santos Profile

DILLON SANTOS

Racer - Yeti Devo

My name is Dillon Santos, I'm 23 years young and love to push myself on and off the bike. I think more so than ever, I enjoy the process of seeking improvement in both cycling and life overall. I started riding bikes a little late, around 16 years old. From there I have progressed quickly by revolving my world around cycling. I wouldn’t change a thing and couldn’t be more grateful to be on a team like Yeti.

 Im super picky about my brake bite and pull. I like my brakes to have little throw and lots of bite!  I run my suspension on the soft side. Low tire pressure with Cush-Core is literally the biggest game changer ever! If you don’t have it you should get it! I prefer 31.8 bars over the bigger diameter. Straight pull spoked wheels are my preference since I am a lighter rider I like the flex and compliance! Ive got nothing to hide: ( Fork: 62psi Rear: 155 W/ 1 spacer Weight 138lbs.)
