Yeti Cycles SB6 GX Eagle Complete Mountain Bike 2019

C/Series Carbon Frameset: By making small changes in the carbon fiber layup of their TURQ Series bikes, Yeti was able to create a more aggressively priced carbon high-performance mountain bike. C/Series frames maintain the strength and stiffness of the TURQ Series. The carbon fiber in C/Series weighs a bit more, about 250g per frame (1/2 pound). Every bike model is offered in at least one C/Series option with high-end components.

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 and ideal suspension characteristics as it gets deeper into the travel. The Switch Infinity suspension was tuned for anti-squat and leverage ratio properties that emphasize the downhill capabilities while finding a balance for it uphill pedaling efficiency. Making this an enduro race machine that slays the down and get you to the top without ramping up the heart rate too much.

Fox Performance DPX2: Combining the best of X2 and DPS, the DPX2 features a recirculating oil damper design with the convenience of three on-the-fly compression damping positions.

Shock Adjustments: Lever Actuated Open, Medium, Firm Modes, Rebound, Air Spring Pressure

Lab Tested to DH Standards: The SB6 is tested under heightened frame requirements to withstand more abuse. What does this mean? The SB6 is tested to stiffness and impact levels of downhill bike standards. Along with the testing in the lab the SB6 has been ridden to victory on the toughest enduro race courses in the world. This thing is Richie "F-ing" Rude approved.

Integrated Axle and Hanger: The integrated axle and derailleur hanger system is built for simplicity and strength. Utilizing a left-hand thread to secure the hanger allows Yeti to incorporate the same machine piece for the axle retention. A clever little system the engineers spent many hours on that might get overlooked.

Custom Frame Protectors: The frame protectors for the down tube and chainstay are custom molded to match the frame. This guarantees a proper fit and adhesion to the frame for years of protection without the need for replacement or additional adhesives.

Internal Cable Routing: This may seem like a small thing, but having a clean aesthetic on the frame along with internally molded carbon tubes inside for hassle-free cable routing is key. It makes for a quiet ride and ease of maintenance. For Yeti, building a great frame is all about the details.
