Brand new and traditional at the same time: the Yeti Enduro

Since 2018, the SB150 has been the enduro bike in Yeti's lineup. And now the successor is on its way: Yeti is not reinventing its enduro bike, but with the SB160 is delivering a bike that promises even better handling, even more safety downhill and even better uphill performance. Despite the extensive update, some parts are fortunately quite old-fashioned: for example, the bolted bottom bracket or the shock link with standard bearings.

With small but subtle adjustments to the geometry and more suspension travel, Yeti is making the previous enduro racer ready for the future:

  • 160 millimetres rear suspension travel (previously 150 millimetres), 170 millimetres fork (as before), all suspension elements from Fox
  • Individual rear triangle length per frame size
  • Available in three colors
  • Revised Switch Infinity for all T-Series models
  • Bolted bottom bracket
  • New frame design for more ground clearance
  • Universal derailleur hanger (UDH)
  • Revised shock link with standard bearing

The reach of the five frame sizes has increased slightly, the head tube angle is 64 degrees, the wheel size is 29 inches - mullets are not provided. Durability is a pleasing feature of the new bike: the bearings are not exotic special parts, but standard bearings. New protectors on the chainstays and down tube should also ensure quiet and defect-free operation. Sram's derailleur hanger, which is installed on many bikes and is therefore a standard product, follows the same line. According to the Swiss Yeti distributor TST-GPR, the SB160 is expected to arrive in February 2023.
