Yeti Cycles SB160 T3 X0 Eagle T-Type Carbon Wheel Mountain Bike

Bombing vertical lines and racing for the podium, the SB160 is at the top of our list for a hard-charging, aggressive enduro bike. Centered around Yeti's renowned Switch Infinity suspension platform, the SB160 features a bottomless feel, enhanced small bump sensitivity, and a supportive mid-stroke.

Yeti's Switch Infinity suspension system also saw an update this year, redesigning the system to be more compact, more durable with sealed bearings, stiffer with floating collet pivot axles, and a revamped bushing design that is more protected and durable. The T3 X0 Eagle Transmission AXS Carbon Wheel build of the Yeti SB 160 is a race-worthy build that features some of the best components on the market. Yeti's premium TURQ carbon frame is the best they offer and uses premium carbon fiber for the stiffest and lightest frame possible. SRAM's X0 Eagle Transmission AXS drivetrain is super durable, features a hanger-less interface, shifts flawlessly, even under load, and has an overload clutch that moves out of the way in the event of an impact and returns to the proper position to ensure pro...
