For technical trails when we're going as fast as possible over rocks, roots, and drops, the Yeti SB150 is the ideal steed. It's a race-bred machine whose sole purpose is to get you down the mountain as fast as possible, and has already proven itself a winner at the highest levels of enduro racing. Boasting 150mm of plush Switch Infinity rear travel (designed to pair with a 170mm fork), progressive race geometry, and unstoppable 29-inch wheels, the SB150 makes quick work of steep descents while maintaining good pedaling characteristics for long days in the saddle that involve plenty of elevation gain. It's much more capable on gravity-oriented trails than its shorter travel sibling the SB130, and does a better job carrying speed over roots and rock gardens than its longer travel sibling the SB165 thanks to the 29-inch wheels. So if going fast is your priority and you want a capable bike that won't hold you back, the SB150 is a worthy steed to throw a leg over any day of the year. The unmistakable Yeti ride quality is attributed to their Switch Infinity suspension design. Honestly, Switch Infinity is one of the best designs we've ridden. It's plush throughout the 6-inches of rear travel, delivering a smooth ride quality that feels like you've got more travel than the numbers show, and it maintains impressive traction across chattery small bumps and larger square-edged hits alike. The key to its performance is the translating main pivot, aka the Switch Infinity link, which switches direction as the bike moves through its travel, providing excellent anti-squat characteristics for superior pedaling performance, and ideal suspension characteristics as it gets deeper into the travel. For the SB150, Yeti made the leverage ratio more progressive to provide greater compatibility with modern shocks and various rider weights and styles. The refined leverage ratio also gives the bike better small-bump compliance, quicker ramp-up in the midstroke for a more playful and suppo...
