Yeti Cycles SB160 TURQ Carbon 29" Frameset

The Yeti Cycles SB160 29" frameset in TURQ carbon with Fox Float X2 Factory shock for an enduro bike

The Yeti Cycles SB120 frameset made of high-quality TURQ carbon comes with Fox Float X2 Factory rear shock and with 160 mm travel offers an excellent basis for a 29-inch mountain bike in enduro use. The proven Switch Infinity linkage design has been revised in details that improve function and durability and simplify service. Compared to the SB150, the ground clearance at the downtube of the SB160 is significantly increased, the seat tube is shorter for seatposts with longer stroke lengths and the longer reach results in more traction. The speed-tuned geometry is, by the way, just like the carbon layup, adapted to every frame size and lets you efficiently push the envelope. A bolted bottom bracket, cartridge bearings in standard sizes and the use of the SRAM UDH universal derailleur hanger underline the ease of maintenance.

Features:

• frame for full-suspension enduro bike made of particularly high-quality carbon with Fox Factory X2 shock absorber
• revised Switch Infinity Link V2 design with floating axle for increased stiffness and longer durability
• high-quality, extremely light and durable TURQ carbon with a balanced ratio of stiffness and compliance
• completely internal cable routing without rattling and chafing with secure cable exits
• for BSA bottom bracket and 55 mm chainline
• SRAM UDH universal derailleur hanger for easy replacement
• two-piece Wishbone Shock Extender allows easy handling of the shock and positions it further forward
• sealed Enduro Max pivot bearings in standard sizes
• rather linear progression curve for predictable behaviour
• race-oriented geometry for fast, smooth descents
• size-specific geometry and carbon composition
• based on the EWS-proven SB150
• 25 mm more ground clearance on the downtube than on the SB150

• carbon layup meets downhill standards

Technology:

Switch Infinity Link V2
The patented Switch Infinity design is characterised by the eye-catching link element at the main pivot point, which enables both radial and axial movement. At the beginning of the suspension travel, the pivot point moves upwards so that the rear triangle can avoid even the roughest obstacles on the trail. This position counteracts the effects of the drivetrain and lets your bike literally fly up the slope. However, when the bike is further down the suspension travel, the Switch Infinity Link lowers again and gives you a feeling of endless travel that makes you want to conquer every trail. The revised V2 variant scores with increased durability and easier maintenance. A floating axle secures the oxide-coated, particularly corrosion-resistant bearings on the Switch Infinity Link precisely and without play. Machine-made aluminium bearing caps keep dirt away from the bearings. The slide bushings, which provide the axial up and down movement, are provided with a wear-resistant and extremely low-friction coating and can be easily lubricated by grease nipples.
