Yeti Cycles SB165 T3 Complete Mountain Bike 2022

Mountain bikes are built for tackling rough terrain with frames made of durable materials like aluminum or carbon fiber, ensuring stability and maneuverability. They feature suspension to absorb impacts from rocks, roots, and drops, providing a smoother ride.

If you’re looking for maximum performance while flying down heavier trails, an enduro bike is for you. These bikes combine ample suspension travel (typically 150mm+) with descent-focused frame geometry and components that allow for reasonably efficient pedaling.

Carbon is a composite frame material. Unlike metals, carbon is composed of fibrous strands woven into a grid and bonded with epoxy. Carbon is favored by many for its lightness and stiffness but its complexity in fabrication makes it the most expensive option.

Nothing sticks to the ground quite like a coil shock. The DHX2 takes that sensation and buttresses it with sophisticated progressive damping, a massive overall tuning range, and super low-friction internals in order to capitalize on the full race-spec magic carpet experience.

Experience the performance and feel of the XX1 Eagle shifter, and you quickly realize there must be something special going on inside this little nerve center. And there is, to the tune of time-tested and race-tested X-ACTUATION technology, adjustable lever positioning and that buttery feel of XX1 Eagle. Featuring a carbon trigger and cover for our lightest weight – the trigger glides on precise, near frictionless sealed cartridge bearings.

Occupying a new realm in shifting performance, the redesigned XX1 Eagle derailleur gives no-compromise racers and dream-bike builders a true top-tier option. The crisp, precise XX1 shifting feel athletes rely on now features an updated cage geometry for improved chain management. Occupying its rightful place at the top of the Eagle ecosystem, the XX1 Eagle rear derailleur makes full use of the new 10-52t cassettes and is backwards compatible to also work with the 10-50t.

Strength is how the X01 Eagle crankset takes capability to places never before reached. It’s the strongest crank in the entire Eagle ecosystem, and it holds this status at a weight that is hard to fathom.

FEATURES

• The strongest crank in the entire Eagle ecosystem.
• Signature X01 colorway as part of Eagle Colorsystem – goes with all cassette and chain color options.
• Available in the X01 signature colorway and Oxy Red X01 signature colorway.
• Raw aluminum chainring teeth to fresh throughout the entire lifespan of the precision CNC machined direct mount ring.

Whether for prized race machines or the build of their dreams, the XG-1299 cassette is the ultimate, giving riders unprecedented 520-percent range thanks to the new 10-52 tooth-span. Stronger racers are now free to choose larger chainrings for more top-end speed, without sacrificing climbing range. More time is spent higher up in the cassette where athletes power transfer is most efficient and wear is minimized. Featuring the industry’s strongest X-Dome™ architecture and proven XD™ driver body, it’s also backwards compatible to give riders even more Eagle™ upgrade options for their current bikes. With multiple Olympic, World Cup and World Championship titles, it also matches up perfectly to XX1 Eagle AXS™ enabled componentry. The XG-1299 cassette utilizes the full depth of the new Eagle™ Colorsystem. Available in Black to Gold to Rainbow and all-new Copper, the XG-1299 cassette completes the expression of the worlds most accomplished and sought after bikes.

FEATURES

• Stronger riders can increase chainring size for speed, without sacrificing climbing.
• Eagle Colorsystem lets the cassette and chain express the look of the bike. Available in Black, Gold, Rainbow and all-new Copper.
• Provides a massive 520-percent gear range.

It might look normal from the outside, but the engineering inside this incredible chain design that makes possible a gear range previously found only in 2-chainring drivetrains. And it's also the biggest contributor to the Eagle drivetrain's ultra-smooth, precise, durable and quiet performance. The Eagle chain's links have a smooth radius, with no sharp edges or chamfers, which yield a significant reduction in noise, friction and wear on chainrings and cassette cogs. This design also allows for a flatter plate, which means more consistent chain riveting and greater overall strength.

FEATURES

• Groundbreaking chain design and technology.
• The Eagle chain has been completely re-engineered, and is produced with new manufacturing technology.
• Eagle PowerLock chain connector with FlowLink technology provides better chain-guiding and increased longevity.
• The Eagle chain is the quietest, strongest and most wear-resistant chain in the world.
• Unique features and design also provide significantly improved wear resistance on Eagle cassettes and rings.

Meet the new standard for hard-hitting, heavy-duty braking. SRAM added 15% extra piston power and 30% more volume in the lever reservoir, ensuring peak performance for the full run. And with SwingLink™ and Lever Pivot Bearing technologies, lever feel remains smooth and progressive, no matter how hard the pull. Go deeper and grab more power.

The Fox Transfer Dropper continues an excellent reputation of smooth function and great reliability with an infinitely adjustable height design, and internal or external cable routing options. Low lever force and great modulation make it easy to regulate return speed and small height adjustments.

DT Swiss have taken all their aluminium wheel know-how and put it in this high performing package. EX 1700 Spline wheels are based on the famous 36t Ratchet hubs combining it with a super strong and welded 30 mm wide aluminium rim. The rim profile is designed to withstand the hardest use of Enduro racing while still keeping the weight low for long and demanding uphills. Laced to double butted competition straightpull spokes, the EX 1700 Spline wheels are built to take a beating.

Greg Minnaar’s signature tire – the Maxxis Assegai – provides tenacious, predictable grip across the entire profile no matter the lean angle. The Assegai can be used front and rear for a surefooted feel or as a front paired with a faster rolling rear tire.

• EXO+: Durable 60 TPI casing, legendary EXO puncture protection in the sidewalls, and a small butyl insert around the bead to protect from pinch flats and help prevent rim damage.

With side knobs borrowed from the legendary Minion DHF, but widened to provide more support, the DHR II corners like no other. The center tread features ramped leading edges to improve acceleration and sipes to create a smooth transition when leaning the bike. Paddle-like knobs on the center tread dig in under hard braking and help keep the bike under control.

• EXO+: Durable 60 TPI casing, legendary EXO puncture protection in the sidewalls, and a small butyl insert around the bead to protect from pinch flats and help prevent rim damage.
