Yeti Beti SB5 C-Series XT review

May 2018 · Aoife Glass

Put the work into this bike and you’ll be rewarded with a lively, agile feel, but the spec is disappointing for the price. Buy if you want a lively and fun trail bike that gives exceptional pedalling efficiency, and is ideal for long rides exploring the landscape

  • Switch infinity suspension system is highly effective, efficient pedaller, spirited ride feel

Lows

Flow's First Bite: Yeti SB5.5 Turq

Jan 2017

Even though the Yeti SB5.5 is a brand-new model from the Colorado based company, it’s refreshing to see that despite its long travel, Yeti haven’t tried to compete in the ‘longest, lowest and slackest’ game some manufacturers seem to be playing.
