Yeti Cycles SB165 T-SERIES T2 X01 24

Master of the gnarniverse. Bold claim for some. Fact-checked humility for the SB165. At home outside the tape, beyond the norm. Taken on the trails nobody talks about. Trusted on the lines where mistakes can't happen. Comfortable with all the chaos. Pleased when you're puckered. Fearless of your fear.

FEATURES:

CUT THE TAPE.
The rowdiest trails are outside the tape, so we gravity-tested in the lab and toss-tested by Reed Boggs.

SECURE IN THE ROUGH.
Chainguide ready out of the box. And standard equipment on all SB165 builds.

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 we gave you a warranty to match just for good measure.

LET'ER EAT
Chair lift, Shuttle truck or self-shuttle. The SB165 doesn't discriminate. If you choose to earn your turns, it's no slouch.

ANTI-SQUAT
Across our line, we have chosen a relatively flat and high anti-squat curve in the beginning and mid-section of travel where pedaling commonly occurs a.k.a. the pedaling zone. This creates an efficient pedaling platform through your entire pedaling zone, as opposed to one single point. After the pedaling zone, there is an inflection point where the Switch Infinity link moves down, dropping the anti-squat drastically. Riders are typically not pedaling 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.

LEVERAGE RATE
When seeking to find the outer limits of personal performance, it would be a shame to reach the limit of your bike first.
- PROGRESSIVITY: 27.5%

NEW SCHOOL GEO FOR NEW SCHOOL FREERIDE.
Devouring big terrain, the SB165 feels better the faster, steeper, and deeper riders go

1. SLACKER THAN MOST DH BIKES: The SB165 loves the steeps.

2. STEEP WHERE IT COUNTS: A steeper seat tube angle means pedaling back up isn't a slog.

3. DUAL CROWN COMPATIBLE: Capable and already on Reed's bike.
