One bike can't rule them all, but the Yeti SB130 with Eagle XO1 is one bike that rules. Conceived on rowdy Colorado trails and fed a steady diet of technical climbing and high-speed descents, this bike crushes big terrain. We're not suggesting you only need one bike, but if you did, this should be on your short list. Our proven Switch Infinity suspension is improved with new kinematics and more progressive geometry. The 77-degree seattube angle and big wheels make it an unapologetic climber. Slightly shorter chainstays, slack headtube angle, long reach and a 44 mm offset fork ensures it's flick-able and playful, but still rages on the downhill.
Switch Infinity
Switch Infinity has proven itself on the trail, between the tape, and in the back rooms of editor's choice rooms. Yeti took that proven technology and refined the slope of the leverage ratio making it 12.5% more progressive without affecting the anti-squat properties. This means the bike has supple small bump compliance but ramps up quicker in the mid-stroke while still allowing for full travel and bottom out control.
Built to last
The SB130 is built to tackle any type of terrain. From buffed out singletrack to rugged EWS race courses, it can hold its own on a huck, if you are willing. It is built for a lifetime, but we gave you a warranty to match just for good measure.
Trail Inspired Geometry
The SB130 has progressive trail inspired geometry. We took what we learned from the SB5 and our Factory team riders and made it low, slack, and long. It is built to around shorter fork offsets, we slackened the "real" headangle and made the seatube angle way steeper. The reach is also longer with shorter chainstays. What does this all mean? All these elements increase the descending prowess and move the rider forward on the bike without affecting its uphill climbing ability.
Shock Extender
The patent-pending wishbone shock extender was developed to maintain a linear path on the leverage ratio while making the curve 12.5% more progressive. This gave the Switch Infinity suspension more control in the mid-stoke while keeping the small bump supple. It also allows for more shock clearance and allows for ease of access for shock fitting and replacement.
