2023 YETI SB150

"Race Bred” It’S Not Just A Slogan Printed On The Sb150 Top Tube. We’Ve Been Pinning On Numbers And Pinning The Throttle Since 1985.

UNBRIDLEDSPEED.

The simple truth is, the SB150 has won more race stages it has started than any other EWS race bike in history.

Line corrector, time saver, full travel user: tuningSwitch Infinity to go faster while pedaling or not.

LEVERAGE RATE

Our relatively linear progression curve ensures racers get more track speed, and full travel from their suspension. Forget what you know – the clock proves more progressive curves aren’t faster.

TUNABLE FOR STAGE DECIMATING PERFORMANCE

Richie Rude wins running the same suspension design that comes stock on the SB150. No team only linkage or mods to his Switch Infinity. As personal performance elevates, racers are able to tune the SB150 to carry more and more speed – right up to the top of the box.

THE FASTER I GO, THE MORE ALIVE IT BECOMES.

FEEL: Capable, stable, efficient, astonishingly fast.

ANTI-SQUAT

Across our line, we have chosen a relatively flat and high anti-squat curve in the beginning and mid-section of travel where pedaling commonly occurs a.k.a. the pedaling zone. This creates an efficient pedaling platform through your entire pedaling zone, as opposed to one single point. After the pedaling zone, there is an inflection point where the Switch Infinity link moves down, dropping the anti-squat drastically. Riders are typically not pedaling in this zone, so chain forces have less of an effect on the suspensions performance. Decoupling of the chain forces allows the suspension to work more efficiently to absorb impacts making the feel of a Yeti distinct.

Progressive Race Driven Geometry

Designed for shorter fork offsets, the SB150’s headtube angle is slackened and the seat tube angle is way steeper. The reach is also longer with shorter chainstays. Advantage? All of these elements increase the DH prowess and move the rider forward on the bike. But these advantages are not one-sided. The steeper seat angle, short fork offset, and forward riding position also keeps the front wheel on the ground, the power to the pedals and the steering quick and nimble when climbing.

1. FORWARD BIAS POSTURE

Gives racers the room they need, and centers them on the bike.

2. 20MM LONGER TRAVEL FORK

Pairs well with our forward-biased frame matching the vertical wheel travel of the rear suspension.

3. SLACKER HEADTUBE

Lower bottom bracket, and longer wheelbase.

4. TESTED TO DH STANDARDS

Through timed testing, we provedthe resulting ride characteristic helped racers carry higher downhill race speeds.

WISHBONE SHOCK EXTENDER

Our patent pending wishbone shock extender changes leverage ratio, maintains kinematics and maximizes stand over clearance. For racers, the shock can be removed from the frame under two minutes to change a shock tune or perform a race day service.

CUSTOM SHOCK TUNE

Each Yeti model has a custom shock tune that is developed in house. Each tune is specifically designed to work in conjunction with the leverage ratio and anti-squat performance properties the engineering team builds with each frame. The performance characteristics of the SB150 are built using qualitative data from our athletes, and quantitative data recorded from telemetry devices which allow us to derive a tune that both enhances mid-stroke and bottom-out control while maintaining its pedaling efficiency.

Technology

PIVOT TRANSLATION

Switch Infinity utilizes a patented translating pivot that switches direction as the bike moves through its travel. This provides a tailored anti-squat curve while allowing the leverage ratio to be tuned independently, something other systems can’t physically achieve.

BOTTOMLESS FEEL

An initially high anti-squat value delivers superior pedaling performance. Further, into the travel, the anti-squat quickly drops off to allow the custom-tuned FOX Racing shock to perform as intended. These characteristics provide excellent mid-stroke support and a bottomless feel.

TUNABLE

Switch Infinity is a versatile system easily adaptable to different travel platforms. The system can be mounted in any orientation and can achieve a myriad of kinematics depending on the design intent. The Switch Infinity system can control this much more precisely than other suspension designs because of the linear path of the main pivot.

DURABLE

The Switch Infinity is a simple, lightweight, bombproof system built by FOX Racing Shox from proven suspension components and engineered and tested to withstand the worst riding conditions. We use seals and bushings that are used in FOX's off-road racing division and a lightweight forged translation pivot.

Materials

TURQ SERIES

TURQ Series bikes are made with the highest quality carbon fiber available and offer the 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 Champion Richie Rude, our in-house testing team and ambassadors around the world.

C/SERIES

By making small changes in the carbon fiber layup of our TURQ Series bikes, we are 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 225g per frame. Every bike model is offered in at least one C-Series option with high-end components.

• HIGHEST QUALITY CARBON FIBER AVAILABLE
• PERFECT BALANCE OF STIFFNESS & COMPLIANCE
• OPTIMIZED LAYUP REDUCES WEIGHT
• DURABILITY TESTED BY RICHIE “F-ING” RUDE

FRAME LIFETIME WARRANTY

No Fine Print. No BS. All frames 2019 or newer, including the Switch Infinity link, are covered for life against damage due to manufacturing defects for the original purchaser. Paint and finish are covered for 1-year. We will repair or replace, at our discretion, any frame we deem defective. There are a few conditions: you must register it online at YetiCycles.com/registration and you must take it to an authorized Yeti Cycles dealer for processing. Warranty does not cover damage due to ordinary wear and tear, neglect or intentional destruction. Lifetime Warranty applies to all frames (2019 and newer). Model year 2018 and older frames will be covered under our previous warranty (5-year or 2-year based on time of purchase). Simple as that. No fine print.
