Last year, when we designed the SB5 with all-new geometry and design – we all thought it looked a lot like the old chum we knew and loved. When we got aboard this capable trail bike, we were suddenly clearing technical climbs with far less effort and our descents were more playful and speedy than before. The seat tube was steepened to optimize pedaling position, while the head tube got a bit slacker so it was even more capable on the downhill. It’s tough to make a great thing better, but we feel pretty good we got it right.

The SB5+ is its own beast – it stands on its own in a burgeoning category and, due in part to the elevated chainstay, is able to run up to 3.0 tires. To be clear, it isn’t the SB5 with plus tires on it – it’s slacker and longer. The SB5+ is a plus-sized dedicated bike that takes on muck, loose gravel and varied trail conditions with ease. As expected of any Yeti, the SB5+ is also flickable and agile, striking the balance between traction and playfulness.

When we designed the SB5 Beti, we made it to excel in the most demanding situations. Our team of female pros and product testers are aggressive riders and wanted a lightweight bike that could handle the rigors of long days in the backcountry or even lift served access. We took the proven SB5 and added a lighter shock tune, women’s specific saddle, shorter crank arms and slightly narrower handlebars. With the lowest standover in category, you’ll have the added confidence knowing frame clearance won’t be an issue.

Our Switch Infinity suspension technology allows us to eek more quality travel out of our suspension than other designs. As a result, the SB4.5 is not easily categorized until you ride it. It’s a bit of a chameleon – it’ll be whatever you want it to be. Our crew has raced it in seven-day epics, shredded it on high-alpine lines and it’s the go-to recommendation for someone who wants a versatile bike with big wheels. The SB4.5 is light and makes climbing feel effortless, yet takes on descents like a mini monster truck.

Big wheels are fast. And with the latest technological advances in other components, they’re also tons of fun to ride. When our racers and testing team first threw a leg over this rig, every rider remarked that they had never ridden so fast. KOMs and PRs were set left and right. Our golden boy of tail whips and manual Mondays, Cody Kelley chose it as his every day weapon of choice for EWS racing – proving it was every bit as nimble as it was fast. It’s also a staff favorite.

FAQ’S
Switch Infinity?
Switch Infinity utilizes our 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. After 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. All Yeti bikes are equipped with Switch Infinity.
T-Series?
Every TURQ Series product is engineered with the most advanced materials and progressive designs in the industry. Tried and tested by our professional racers, internal testing team, and global ambassadors, TURQ Series products
are honed in the most extreme environments and harshest conditions. Whether it’s the toughest enduro tracks in the world, during our famously brutal daily lunch rides, or on expeditions from Iceland to New Zealand, you can be sure that the TURQ Series mark on any product means it’s been put to the test in the toughest environments and performs to the highest standards. Put simply, TURQ Series is the best of the best.
C-Series?
By utilizing less high modulus carbon than we do in our TURQ Series bikes, the C-Series maintains Yeti’s award winning ride quality and technology standards while only sacrificing weight. Every model in our line now includes C-Series frames paired with individually chosen components to balance performance and price.
T-Series VS C-Series?
TURQ Series bikes are made with the highest quality carbon fiber available and offer a perfect balance of ride quality and weight savings, shaving anywhere between 400 and 250 grams off the C-Series bikes. The result is a smooth, solid, and aggressive ride. Each model 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. Based on the feedback they provide, we fine tune every detail down to the most minute component in order to deliver maximum performance for its intended use.
2018 Yeti SB5 LR “Lunch Ride”?
We shut the factory down and suit up daily for our lunch ride – it’s not only a way to blow off steam and build comradery, but also serves as a proving ground for spec and product decisions. We love tinkering with our bikes and through the process of riding, talking smack, and trying new things, we often land on a hybrid spec that we all run. This build represents that spec – Fox 36/160mm for added travel and stiffness up front and Fox Float DPX2 shock in the rear for ripping descents. On the race circuit, there are horses for courses and the EWS team, headed by Richie Rude, chose the SB5 LR for the Rotorua and Tasmania stops of the EWS in 2017, proving the bike’s range of capabilities.
2018 Yeti SB6 Team Replica?
Ride the same bike as two-time EWS World Champion, Richie Rude and it’s gotta rub off, right? The SB6 Team Replica brings you one step closer to harnessing the storied talents of our pro riders. Donning ample travel from Fox, 170mm in the front and 150mm in the rear, and a velvety Shimano XTR drivetrain this bike is where brawn meets beauty. Hung with the best parts from longtime Factory Team sponsors like Fox, Shimano, DT Swiss, Renthal, Chris King, Maxxis, One-Up and Ergon this is the bike that pulverizes EWS race tracks around the world and puts our athletes atop podiums. It’s a limited edition, so don’t delay – we have Yeti collectors around the world waiting for the next team edition.
Words of the wise:
“We just got back from the 17th Annual Tribe Gathering in Crested Butte, CO. Over four hundred Yeti Freaks from all over the world showed up to ride, hang-out and talk bikes. In our mind, it’s a culmination of what the Yeti brand has become and, in many ways, embodies everything we value about mountain biking and the community.
This simple concept has fostered a culture of like-minded people who share our values, give critical feedback, and make our bikes better. This in turn strengthens the Tribe and improves the breed. It’s why our racers continue to win at the highest levels of the sport and why the Tribe continues to grow.
Who we are is evident in every bike we make. And the 2018 lineup of bikes is the collective output of over thirty years of looking forward”.
Chris Conroy
“The best way to describe our design philosophy is with a quick view into our product meetings. Recently, we debated gear ratios and what front chainring size we should model our kinematics around. Scenarios were laid out from all angles. Climbing, descending, Apex, Nor Cal, Whistler and racing. It was spirited and took the better part of the afternoon.
Some would say we dive too deep into the minutia, but this is the ethos of Yeti. It isn’t a battle of egos. It’s about making sure we make the best riding mountain bikes.
Once the decision is made, there is no second guessing. We easily move on with the comfort knowing that the collective scrutiny produced the right direction.
The product on the following pages is not the result of a one or two-year development project. It is born from years of making tough product decisions. Chris and I know that perfection will forever be a moving target, yet we will always strive for it. We’re excited to present the new product line. Hope you enjoy it”.
