Master of the gnariverse. 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.
The SB165 is the bike you ride when you see lines other don’t have the skills to see.
CUT THE TAPE.
The rowdiest trails are outside the tape, se 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 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 the 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 once 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. “The limit’s of the mountain bike are still being pushed. I intend to push harder.” Reed Boggs @reedboggsSLEDGEHAMMER OR SAMURAI? DEPENDS ON THE PRACTITIONER.
The SB165 takes our forward bias posture and approach to geometry and unlocks new-school advantages, tweaked to bring out the best in 27.5″ wheels. Yes the steeper seat tube angle and shorter fork offset. paired with the switch infinity’s pedalability offers a refreshingly easy climb. Yes, the slacker headtube angle, longer reach and lower bottom bracket are strikingly similar to that of a DH bike. Yes, the “little wheels” are capable of the hell you can handle. Just ask Reed. Slacker than most DH bikes. The SB165 loves the steeps. Steep where it counts. A steeper seat tube angle means pedalling back up isn’t a slog. Dual crown compatible. Capable and ready on Reed’s bike.AT THE HEART OF THE SB165 SUSPENSION DESIGN IS OUR PATENTED SWITCH INFINITY, WITH A TRANSLATING PIVOT SYSTEM FOR EXCELLENT ANTI-SQUAT CHARACTERISTICS.
