Yeti's SB165 is a mountain bike with zero chill. Tough lines, big jumps and outrageous speeds are what this bike is all about. The SB165 is a bike that thrives on the most chaotic lines where mistakes are not an option and is the bike you want to be on to hit the lines no-one else will ride. As Yeti cycles say themselves - this is the master of the gnariverse.
Introduced to the range a few years ago the big travel SB165 is the 27.5" wheel freerider/race bike. Travel figures of 180mm up front and 165mm on back, working with Yeti's Switch Infinity system, provide a stable and trustworthy platform for our planets biggest features. The superb suspension and refined geometry also make for a supremely agile race bike and many a SB165 will be seen at your local enduro event.
The C-series bikes offer the same suspension platform and geometry as the top of line T-series though make use of a different carbon lay-up and can therefore be offered at a lower price point. Shred factor is not affected.
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
