Overview

About this bike

SB5 stands for Super Bike, 5-inches of travel, built from Carbon. As its name suggests, Yeti’s SB5 Enduro GX is a trail shredding all-mountain machine. The magic of its incredible performance sits sneakily in the Switch Infinity link, which utilizes a translating pivot that switches direction as the bike moves through its travel, providing excellent pedaling performance and unbelievable support as it gets deeper into the travel. It's completely independent of pedaling forces and rider movements, so it works whether you're mashing the pedals or hard on the brakes. In simple terms, the SB5 Enduro absolutely crushes every single thing. With insane traction on the climbs, it's hard to imagine it gets even better when the trail points down. But it does. The SB5’s geometry mirrors Yeti’s love of gravity-influenced riding with a long top tube, low bottom bracket, and slack head angle. Fox Racing manufactures the rugged hardware that makes up the Switch Infinity and Fox’s Float Performance shock works perfectly with the system to deliver a heavenly ride. Up front, the Fox 34 Performance fork lets you shred the gnarliest descents with 150mm of travel, while out back, the efficient 1x SRAM GX drivetrain delivers smooth, crisp shifting at the flick of a finger. Other frame details include a tapered head tube, chain and rock guard protectors, and a stiff 142 x 12mm rear thru-axle. This bike will make you smile.
