Yeti SB150

When analyzing
a race stage,
all I see is time.

Richie Rude

Unbridled
Speed.

The simple truth is, the SB150 has won more race stages it has started than any other EWS race bike in history.

Truth in Time

Stage Wins

On the longest and most grueling stages, the SB150 is fastest.

International, National
and Series Wins

EWS. Big Mountain Enduro. Pro GRT. Trophy De Nations World Championships. The SB150 has won it all.

EWS
Podiums

Unparalelled. And not even close
to being done.

Leverage Rate

Our relatively linear progression curve ensures racers get more track speed, and full travel from their suspension. Forget what you know – the clock proves more progressive curves aren’t faster.

Progressivity

The faster I go, the more alive it becomes.

Feel

Capable, stable, efficient, astonishingly fast.

Anti-Squat

Across our line, we have chosen a relatively flat and high anti-squat curve in the beginning and mid-section of travel where pedaling commonly occurs a.k.a. the pedaling zone. This creates an efficient pedaling platform through your entire pedaling zone, as opposed to one single point. After the pedaling zone, there is an inflection point where the Switch Infinity link moves down, dropping the anti-squat drastically. Riders are typically not pedaling in this zone, so chain forces have less of an effect on the suspensions performance. Decoupling of the chain forces allows the suspension to work more efficiently to absorb impacts making the feel of a Yeti distinct.

Progressive Race Driven Geometry

Designed for shorter fork offsets, the SB150’s headtube angle is slackened and the seat tube angle is way steeper. The reach is also longer with shorter chainstays. Advantage? All of these elements increase the DH prowess and move the rider forward on the bike. But these advantages are not one-sided. The steeper seat angle, short fork offset, and forward riding position also keeps the front wheel on the ground, the power to the pedals and the steering quick and nimble when climbing.

FORWARD BIAS POSTURE

Gives racers the room they need, and centers them on the bike.

20mm LONGER TRAVEL FORK

Pairs well with our forward-biased frame matching the vertical wheel travel of the rear suspension.

SLACKER HEADTUBE

Lower bottom bracket, and longer wheelbase.

TESTED TO DH STANDARDS

High-impact strength, carbon lay-up tuned to go fast and tested to DH standards.

Through timed testing, we proved
the resulting ride characteristic
helped racers carry higher
downhill race speeds.

Wishbone Shock Extender

Our patent pending wishbone shock extender changes leverage ratio, maintains kinematics and maximizes stand over clearance. For racers, the shock can be removed from the frame under two minutes to change a shock tune or perform a race day service.

Custom Shock Tune

Each Yeti model has a custom shock tune that is developed in house. Each tune is specifically designed to work in conjunction with the leverage ratio and anti-squat performance properties the engineering team builds with each frame. The performance characteristics of the SB150 are built using qualitative data from our athletes, and quantitative data recorded from telemetry devices which allow us to derive a tune that both enhances mid-stroke and bottom-out control while maintaining its pedaling efficiency.

At the heart of the SB150 suspension design is our Patented Switch Infinity, with a translating pivot system for excellent anti-squat characteristics.
