DetailsYeti Cycles SB5.5 XT/SLX Complete Mountain Bike 2017
Forget all the preconceived notions about 29ers. The Yeti Cycles SB5.5 XT/SLX Complete Mountain Bike is every bit as aggressive (and capable) as those do-it-all 27.5s. Poised to steal the spotlight, the SB5.5 combines a super light and stiff carbon frameset with a slacker head angle and a shortened chainstay to position it at the intersection of trail, all-mountain and enduro riding styles. Add in the aggressively spec'd build with a stout, adaptable 160 mm Fox 36 Performance fork and stiff Boost thru-axles and you've got yourself a truly menacing 29er. The responsive and versatile Yeti Cycles SB5.5 XT/SLX Complete Mountain Bike is the one and only pedal pony you need.
Product Details
Frame/Shock:
Carbon Fiber Frame & Swing Arm: By 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 Suspension: Switch 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 Shock: New 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.
Shock Adjustments: 3-Position Lever (Open, Medium, Firm) | Rebound Adjust | Air Spring Pressure Adjust
Collet Axle System: Located on the pivots to reduce bearing wear.
Integrated ISCG-05 Mounts
Tapered Inset Headtube
Custom Down Tube Protector & Chain Guards
Internal Cable Routing
Integrated Axle & Derailleur Hanger System
Fork:
Fox 36 Performance Boost Fork: The 36 has been completely redesigned with a highly tunable air spring and updated damping tune that gives the rider total control over the feel of the fork. It offers an excellent balance of small bump sensitivity and mid-stroke support, providing increased tire grip, reduced fatigue and superb handling needed for all-mountain riding and enduro racing.
Fork Adjustments: GRIP 3-Position Lever (Open, Medium, Firm) / Air Spring Pressure / Rebound Adjust
Drive Train:
Shimano SLX Rapidfire Plus Shifter: Improved rider ergonomics. Shifting operation is light and easy for the rider. Compact Optical Gear Display position is easily seen.
Shimano XT Rear Derailleur: Rider tuned for sharp and silky shifts. Light shift operation with 20% less effort. Improved chain stability. New shift cable with new hyper low-friction coating technology. Easy-to-adjust chain stabilizer. Efficient pullet teeth design. New Shadow design with optimized slant angle for stable gear position.
Shimano XT 11-46T Cassette: Ride anywhere with smooth and precise gear changes. Optimized gear combination and gear ratio. Rhythm step gear progression. Improved driving efficiency and stable shifting. Reduced weight without sacrificing durability or reliability. Combination of aluminum and steel gears.
Race Face Æffect 30T Crankset: The Æffect crankset is designed to handle aggressive trail riding at a XC crank weight and attractive pricepoint. Featuring the Cinch System with interchangeable spider options and Race Face's trusted 24 mm EXI interface spindle, the Æffect is a rock solid crankset for the modern XC and trail rider.
Brakes:
Shimano M615 Hydraulic Disc Brakeset: Short stroke servo mechanism. 2-finger ergonomic brake lever. Integrated design brake lever for I-spec shift lever. ICE technology pad compatible design. Reach adjust. Easy and clean bleeding.
Wheelset:
Maxxis Minion DHF EXO Tubeless (Front Tire): The Minion DHF was designed for the often loose and muddy conditions of aggressive all-mountain terrain. The DHF incorporates ramped knobs for low rolling resistance and channel-cut knobs to increase gripping edges, giving straight-line control and precise cornering.
Maxxis Aggressor EXO Tubeless (Rear Tire): The Aggressor is designed for high-speed modern mountain bike trails. Advanced knob shaping creates extra gripping edges, and reinforced side knobs offer enhanced stability when cornering at speed. An all-around trail tire excelling on everything from loose cross country race courses to heavy all-mountain riding.
DT Swiss E1900 Boost Wheelset: Enduro riders push the limits of traction. The E 1900 SPLINE® is the ideal wheel for this purpose, with its 25-mm-wide extra-strong aluminum rims and solid wheel construction. The weight-saving details such as the hub and the spherical DT Squorx aluminum nipples will keep the riders confidential smile also facing uphill. After all, the best trails are rarely to be found around the cable cars.
Additional Features:
Race Face Turbine Dropper Post: A 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.
