Compare the Yeti 2022 Mountain Bike Lineup
Some of the best mountain bikes in the world come from Yeti Cycles. Although they are recognized for being more expensive, their top-of-the-line features are comparable with those of their competitors. As a boutique brand, they've chosen to specialize in high-end quality rather than entry level or budget constructions.
Although each Yeti bike addresses a different type of mountain biking, style, or terrain there are some consistent aspects of Yetis. All of their full-suspension bikes use their Infinity Switch rear linkage. This is a unique design that uses a pivot that switches direction as the rear suspension moves through its travel. This produces a feeling that is both pedaling supportive and bottomless. The other consistency is quality, Yeti doesn't produce bad designs, quality issues, or poor experiments. To further back that up they offer a lifetime warranty. Yetis also all have a distinctive ride feel. Many of their models are geared towards going fast and being ridden aggressively. They target the racer. Yetis were long and slack before 99% of other brands caught on. What does this mean? Yes, you can cruise and casually ride a Yeti, but they will handle better with a more forward weighted body position at speed. The number in the model name represents the rear travel in millimeters.
Below are the T2 tier Yeti mountain bikes along with their T2 Lunch Ride (LR) editions for comparison. The LR editions have more travel up front, sometimes in the back too. They make the bikes target a little more aggressive terrain. The SB150 and SB115 are targeting racing in enduro and XC respectively. the SB165, SB140, and SB130 are all geared towards park, all-mountain, and other use cases. What does this mean? Nothing, as a weekend warrior you could race any of these in any race you really want to. However the SB165, SB150, SB140 LR, and SB130 LR could all be raced in enduro style races if you have the skills. The SB165 could probably be raced in downhill races when equipped with a dual-crown fork. The SB130 with a light build wouldn't be the worse bike to race in a Trans BC Enduro style XC race.
