Yeti SB150 T1 XT

Seeking out the roughest and rowdiest trails we can find is a simple task knowing we have our Yeti SB150 Turq T1 XT Mountain Bike to guide us through. This race-bred machine’s sole purpose is to get us down the mountain as fast as possible, having proven itself a winner at the highest levels of enduro racing. The SB150 comes equipped with big 29in wheels, 150mm of rear suspension, a 170mm FOX Factory fork, and enduro-rated 4-caliper brakes for the hairiest lines on the mountain. Built with Yeti’s Switch Infinity Linkage, this bike responds to big hit lines by delivering a bottomless feel to the suspension travel.

When it comes to raw speed, the Yeti SB150 shows it’s firmly at the top of its class. This 29in wheeled machine combines slacked-out geometry and a long wheelbase to effortlessly roll over big obstacles while keeping the pace high. The frame is downhill-rated but remains impressively lightweight, and uses a 64.5-degree head-tube angle that’s nicely paired with 29in wheels and aggressive Maxxis tires. The wheelbase is generously long for a size large, giving us great stability in the steeps. Yeti knows we like to go up the mountain too though, so the Switch Infinity linkage and steep 76.9-degree seat-tube angle pair up well to get us up the hills with as little effort as possible.
