Yeti Cycles Yeti SB150 T1 29er Mountain Bike 2020 Anthracite

“RACE BRED.” IT’S NOT JUST A SLOGAN PRINTED ON THE SB150 TOP TUBE. WE’VE BEEN PINNING ON NUMBERS AND PINNING THE THROTTLE SINCE 1985. SO WHEN CHOICES HAD TO BE MADE ON THE SB150, EVERY SINGLE ONE WAS MADE IN THE NAME OF UNBRIDLED SPEED. THE ULTIMATE EXAMPLE OF BREEDING A BIKE TO BEAT THE CLOCK. The linage of the Yeti SB150 T1 29er Mountain Bike starts way back in the history of the company as it is the culmination of everything we have learned from design world class downhill bikes and racing the World Cup circuit to the modern enduro racing on the EWS circuit. So riders and bikes like Myles Rockwell and his ARC-AS to Nathan Rennie and his DH-9 up to modern times with Richie Rude and his Team Edition SB6 have all influenced the design of the SB150. SWITCH INFINITY At the heart of the SB150 suspension design is our patented Switch Infinity suspension system. Switch Infinity utilizes a patented translating pivot that switches direction as the bike moves through its travel. This provides excellent anti-squat characteristics for superior pedaling performance and ideal suspension characteristics as it gets deeper into the travel.   TUNED FOR ENDURO PERFORMANCE Switch Infinity has proven itself on the racecourse amassing more EWS wins than any other system. We took that winning heritage and made the leverage ratio more progressive (But not too progressive) to provide greater compatibility with modern shocks and various rider weights/styles. In addition, the bike has better small bump compliance, ramps up quicker in the mid-stroke for a playful supportive feel, while still allowing for full travel and bottom-out control. Thanks to Switch Infinity the anti-squat and pedaling efficiencies remain superb.   TESTED TO DH STANDARDS The SB150 is built Richie F-ing Rude tough. The frame meets Yeti DH testing standards, well beyond what others do for a 150mm trail bike. This thing will last for a lifetime, but we gave you a warranty to match just for good measure.   PROGRESSIVE GEOMETRY The SB150 has progressive enduro inspired geometry. We took what we learned from the SB6 and our Factory team riders and made it low, slack, and long. It is designed for shorter fork offsets, we slackened the real head angle and made the seat tube angle way steeper. The reach is also longer with shorter chainstays. What does this mean? All these elements increase the DH prowess and move the rider forward on the bike. But these advantages are not one-sided. The steeper seat angle, short fork offset, and forward riding position also keeps the front wheel on the ground, the power to the pedals and the steering quick and nimble when climbing.   SHOCK EXTENDER The patent-pending wishbone shock extension was developed to maximize standover, maintain kinematics, fit a water bottle in the frame and allow easy access when replacing or servicing the shock. We also developed a shock extender that’s certified by FOX to accept a coil shock.   NEW WATER BOTTLE LOCATION The water bottle fits comfortably inside the front triangle, where you might be used to looking for it. It took considerable effort to accommodate a bottle, optimize standover and meet our kinematic expectations, but we knew it was important to you. So we finally did it.
