Yeti SB165 long-term review

Jun 2021 · Alex Evans

One of the best riding bikes out there, just make sure you stick to a rigorous maintenance schedule to avoid irreversible damage

Highs
  • A genuinely fast, forgiving and fun bike to ride

Lows
  • Internal cable routing, even with cable guides, is a hassle

  • I experienced linkage and bearing wear much sooner than I was expecting

Yeti SB165 First Ride Review – Rip or Race?

Jul 2019 · Trev Worsey

Breaking news: The new hard-charging 180 /165 mm travel, 27.5” wheeled Yeti SB165 2020 is aimed firmly at air junkies and park-rats.

Highs
  • Beautiful construction and well-designed hardware

  • Suspension balances support with plushness

  • Great tune on Fox DHX2 shock

Lows
  • The Exo+ tires may look good on the scales, but such a bike needs a tougher sidewall

  • The smaller 27.5” wheels do struggle more in holes, most riders would still be better with the SB150

  • The high price cannot be ignored

[First Ride] The New 27.5" Yeti SB165

Jul 2019 · Marco Toniolo

Today Yeti presents the SB165, an enduro bike with 27.5 “wheels and, as the name implies, 165mm of rear travel combined with a 180mm travel fork.

The suspension system is the tried and true Switch Infinity. During the presentation in Bovec, Slovenia, I got to talk with the product manager and engineer responsible for kinematics. Here are all the details of SB165: As mentioned in the video, the SB165 is
