Designed in conjunction with proven shred-lord Ritchie Rude the team at Yeti have crafted the next big mountain race machine, the SB160 has a clear focus - first place finishes
Pushing the performance even further this latest. honed and refined iteration of the big travel 29" wheel enduro bike now makes use of 160mm of rear travel and keeps 170mm travel out front. The suspension platform is based around Yeti's own two-piece wishbone shock extender linkage and the famed, newly recalculated, Fox/Yeti Switch Infinity.
T-Series Yeti frames are manufactured using their finest carbon layup. The result is the best possible balance of stiffness, compliance and aesthetics (it really is difficult to show in pictures the sublime level of detail put into every Yeti frame)
The T-Series build kit is a long list of proven high-end mountain biking componentry. Fox Factory 38 fork and X2 shock, with the newly updated Switch Infinity, handle suspension duty. SRAM's latest X0 Eagle Transmission wireless 1x12 speed drivetrain is and SRAM Code RSC brakes are race circuit proven for reliable stopping power. Awesome RaceFace/DT Swiss wheelset wearing rider favourite Maxxis Assegai/Minion DHR II tyre combo keep you in contact with the planet and grip levels high. Capping off this high-end build is a Fox Transfer dropper seatpost, Yeti Carbon handlebar, Burgtec stem and WTB saddle
Mr Richard Rude likes to go fast and win, so he rides an SB160. You should ride one too.
SWITCH INFINITY -
Switch Infinity utilizes a patented translating pivot that switches direction as the bike moves through its travel. This provides a tailored anti-squat curve while delivering a fine-tuned leverage ratio
Switch Infinity decouples chain forces from suspension forces incredibly effectively. In the beginning and mid-section of travel – when Switch Infinity moves up – a relatively flat and high anti-squat curve creates an efficient pedalling platform through the entire pedalling zone. As a result, suspension performs consistently and predictably. When Switch Infinity reverses direction, anti-squat drastically drops for freedom of suspension movement
