Jul 2019

Call it big, call it brawny, just don't call it enduro.

Yeti’s got a new long-travel 27.5-inch bike, but you probably saw that coming. Also, it rips, but you probably saw that coming too.

Yeti SB165 Turq T2 first ride review

Jul 2019 · Seb Stott

Small-wheel, big travel, super-enduro shredder that’s surprisingly versatile

Highs
  • Yeti's new school geometry is on point for rapid descending and technical climbing

  • Suspension is stable, predictable and settled

  • Efficient suspension and steep seat angle make tricky climbs a doddle

Lows
  • XL size could do with a higher-rise bar

  • Not exactly cheap

  • Small wheels make less sense now than they used to

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 Colorado brand defines it as a “rip bike“, that is designed to be agile and easy to pump on obstacles, with a nod to usage in the bike park. 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
