2021 Yeti SB115
Specs, Comparisons, Reviews, Galleries
An XC oriented bike that crosses over into Trail bike handling. The SB115 can tackle a variety of terrain and has been used successfully in epic multi-day technical races like the Trans BC Enduro.
Don't let the short 115mm rear travel fool you, the editors of MTB Picker have ridden most of the Infinity Switch link Yetis and every one of them rides like it has extra inch of plush travel.
Pros:
- Trail bike like ride on an XC bike
- Yeti's lifetime frame warranty
- Yeti's Infinity Switch is more than marketing hype, there's very few suspensions that ride this well.
- Compared to many outdated XC bikes, comes with modern 30mm wide rims
Cons:
- No budget friendly version
- Geometry leans towards XC, and not as slack as current Trail bikes or even other down country bikes.
- Weight for a XC bike is on the heavy side, for a trail bike it's not bad.
