Yeti SB150

The SB150 truly is a superbike on the descents, and testers had nothing but praise for its handling in rough terrain.

It’s very composed over all the chunky stuff.

It will reward you for going out and having fun on your bike.

The best climbing enduro bike I’ve been on. It’s a monster. It feels like a park bike.

The SB150 and the SB115 are really, really good climbers. I am super impressed.

It’s just really amazing they can get a bike with 29-inch tires and just to climb hills better than anything I’ve ever ridden.

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.

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.

The SB150 is the purest distillation of Yeti’s race heritage. It’s a bike designed with years of experience on the racetrack learning how to build bikes for unbridled speed.

Fast, balanced and progressive are the first things that come to mind when discussing the Yeti SB150. This bike’s geometry is long and slack, boasting a 65.3-degree head angle complemented by a 44 mm offset fork, and a 1,251 mm wheelbase (size medium), which supports the bike’s racer-focused ride.

The Yeti SB150 T2 is a bike for racers who know exactly what they’re doing. It offers a lot of traction and very precise handling, though it requires an active and courageous riding style.

When I say the aggressive Yeti is for aggressive riders, I mean that the SB150 is a razor-sharp tool for its intended job of enduro racing and high-speed riding.

The SB150 is the longest-travel Yeti 29er yet. With wagon wheels, 150mm of rear travel and a 170mm fork, this bike is firmly in monster-truck territory.

The SB150 is the Yeti many riders have been waiting for; more travel, 29″ wheels, a proper water bottle placement, a shorter seat mast, longer, lower, slacker, with a steeper seat angle and it comes with a lifetime warranty on the frame.

Low, slack, and stretched, this long-travel 29er performs so well climbing and descending that riders who love the downhill could make it a one-bike quiver.

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.
