Switch Infinity Suspension: The new line of Yeti Switch Infinity bikes builds on their award-winning performance with subtle refined leverage rates that have been adjusted for the added travel of each new bike. This balanced approach to leverage rate results in an incredibly predictable ride.
Better Shock Tuning: Yeti has been tuning shocks in-house to ensure their kinematics pair seamlessly with their shocks. Using data acquisition and their shock dyno they are able to correlate hours of ride testing, splitting hairs over tenths of millimeters, to deliver the most out of their suspensions. The final tune is the result of countless hours of ride and lab testing with multiple, ground-up shock tunes going into the decision.
Patented Compact Wishbone and Ultra Compact Suspension Link: The goal is simple: optimizing leverage rates while pushing the shock forward in the frame. This forward positioning allows for a large range of shock compatibility, decreases standover height, reduces shock tab sizes, increases water bottle compatibility, and increases downtube clearance.
Frame Protection: An external hard cap provides impact resistance over a rubber under-guard that provides cushion against the frame.
Full Drop: Yeti's seat tubes are shorter to allow for longer dropper posts.
Internal Cable Routing with Secure Frame Ports: 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.
New Pivot Designs: Yeti's new pivot designs use 100% standard sized cartridge bearings secured with precision -- machined floating collet axles. All bearings are pressed into the linkage assembly vs. the swingarm or front triangle. The end result is perfect alignment and smooth suspension motion every time, boosting longevity.
Refined New School Geometry: From size-specific seat tube angles and chain stay lengths, to new reach numbers that keep both wheels weighted, Yeti's concentrated on making a more balanced ride. Yeti engineers and designers mined the depths of every millimeter to create a nuanced set of refinements that deliver another leap forward in how well a mountain bike can ride.
TURQ Series Carbon Frame: TURQ Series bikes are made with the highest quality carbon fiber available and offer a perfect balance of stiffness and compliance. The result is a bike that feels smooth, solid, and aggressive. Every bike is tested by the best racers in the world, including EWS World Champ Richie Rude, Yeti's in-house testing team, and ambassadors around the world.
Fox Float DPS Factory Rear Shock: A lightweight chassis, EVOL air spring, and dual piston damper with 3-position switch create a pedal-friendly shock that soaks up the bumps and delivers pedal power to the ground with utmost efficiency. This Factory series shock features open-mode adjust and genuine Kashima coating.
Shock Adjustments: Air Spring Pressure / Lever-Actuated Open, Medium, Closed Compression (With Open Mode Adjust) / Rebound
