- The bike is lightweight, allowing the bike to be both lively and quick when descending.
- The Yeti SB100 is available in a women’s specific model called the Beti. The Beti’s shock is tuned for lighter riders, has shorter cranks and a women-specific saddle.
- Experts found the internally routed cables quiet on the bike.
- 180mm brake rotors, combined with SRAM or Shimano brakes, engage on-demand and provide excellent stopping power.
- The bike is available in four sizes. Builds are available for riders 5’1” to 6’7”.

3 reasons not to buy

Bottom line
The Yeti SB100 is a light, fun and capable trail bike with a cross-country attitude. The bike’s Switch Infinity suspension allows riders to accelerate quickly and climb efficiently. With a carbon frame and quality SRAM or Shimano components, the bike is expensive but worth every penny, according to experts. The bike is not as smooth and forgiving as a longer travel bike, but it is every bit as capable of taking on climbs and descents.Expert Reviews

It is more stable at speed than most 100 mil. bikes that I’ve ridden.
Bible Review: Yeti Beti SB100 X01 Race Turq
With the SB100, Yeti married its Switch Infinity suspension to a stiff carbon frame and a steep 74-degree seat tube angle to create a bike that doesn’t just climb uphill, but attacks ascents like it should come stock with a cape and an oxygen mask.
