Description
Yeti SB165
Master of the gnariverse. A bold claim for some but fact-checked humility for the Yeti SB165. This bike is at home outside the tape and beyond the norm. Taken on the trails nobody talks about. Trusted on the lines where mistakes can’t happen. Comfortable with all the chaos. Fearless of your fear.
GRAVITY TESTED
The SB165 is built tough. The frame meets Yeti DH testing standards, well beyond what others do for a 165mm trail bike. This thing will last for a lifetime, but Yeti wanted to give you a warranty to match just for good measure.
ANTI-SQUAT
Across the Yeti line, their designers have chosen a relatively flat and high anti-squat curve in the beginning and mid-section of travel where pedalling commonly occurs, a.k.a. the pedalling zone. This creates an efficient pedalling platform through your entire pedalling zone, as opposed to one single point. After the pedalling zone, there is an inflection point where the Switch Infinity link moves down, dropping the anti-squat drastically. Riders are typically not pedalling in this zone, so chain forces have less of an effect on the suspension performance. Decoupling of the chain forces allows the suspension to work more efficiently to absorb impacts making the feel of a Yeti distinct.
NEW SCHOOL GEOMETRY FOR NEW SCHOOL FREERIDE.
Devouring big terrain, the SB165 feels better the faster, steeper and deeper riders go. The Yeti SB165 takes a forward bias posture and approach to geometry and unlocks new-school advantages, tweaked to bring out the absolute best in 27.5″ wheels. Yes. the steeper seat tube angle and shorter fork offset paired with the Switch Infinity technology offers a refreshingly easy climb. Yes, the slacker head tube angle, longer reach and lower bottom bracket are strikingly similar to that of a DH bike.
