Product Info

If you want to attack the trails, you need a bike that won't let you down through challenging terrain. Introducing the all-mountain all-star, the Yeti Cycles SB5 XT/SLX Complete Mountain Bike. Yeti's patented Switch Infinity link works with the Fox Float valving to transfer your power to the ground for unrivaled traction and climbing ability. A refined geometry is what really sets the SB5 apart from its predecessors; a slacker head tube angle, shorter chainstay and steep seat tube angle have turned this platform into a comfortable trail slaying machine. The Yeti Cycles SB5 XT/SLX Complete Mountain Bike is ready to go the distance, no matter the terrain. The only question now is can YOU hang?

Product Details

Frame/Shock

Carbon Fiber Frame & Swing ArmBy utilizing a less high modulus carbon than they do in their TURQ Series bikes, the Carbon Series maintains Yeti's award winning ride quality and technology standards, the only sacrifice being minor weight gains.

Switch Infinity SuspensionSwitch Infinity utilizes a patented translating pivot that switches direction as the bike moves through its travel. This provides excellent anti-squat characteristics for superior pedaling performance as the pivot translates upward. As the system reaches the inflection point, the main pivot translates downward. The result is ideal suspension characteristics deeper into travel, creating a controlled and bottomless suspension feel.

Fox Float X Performance ShockNew damping tune improves bump absorption and control. Reservoir design made for aggressive riding. Three on-the-fly settings to match every rider's needs. EVOL air sleeve improves responsiveness and sensitivity.

Wheelset

DT Swiss M1900 BoostAll-mountain products need to make long climbs tolerable and to tame wild single trails. The light, wide, tubeless-optimized rim means that the M 1900 SPLINE® is more than up to the challenge and always looks good with its reliable, lightweight, high-quality pawl hubs.

Maxxis Ardent EXO Tubeless TiresAn aggressive tread in high-volume casing, designed with great traction in mind. The Ardent doesn't forget the racer with large block-style side knobs offering numerous edges for high-speed cornering. The center tread, while ideal for breaking and accelerating traction, also features ramped knobs to minimize rolling resistance. With a wide variety of size offerings, the Ardent captures every mountain rider's needs.

Additional Features

Race Face Turbine Dropper PostA patented hybrid design that couples mechanical and hydraulic locking technologies, inspired by MTB disc brakes. The rider's body weight is supported with a mechanical lock; meaning a solid connection and less potential for failure over time. Lower air pressures and static seals offer unrivaled performance, control, and reliability. Turbine also operates in below-freezing temperatures making it perfect for Fat Bikes and cold weather riding. Less down time for service equals more saddle time on the trails.
