As it sits it is a fantastic platform. I think for 29ers, Yeti has nailed this. This can do the uphill. It excels at the downhill.

First Ride: 2019 Yeti SB150

The bike feels really stiff under power and it’s impressively taut when pedalling. Thanks to the steep seat angle, it doesn’t feel too stretched out when sat and merrily scrabbled up some pretty steep and sketchy climbs.

It’s fair to say that when we first cast an eye over this bike our jaws opened a little wider and there was a long silent stare at this bike. It was hard to deny the attention to detail the crew at Yeti have paid to crafting this machine.
