New short travel trail platform, new Switch Infinity assembly, and a new way to think about XC bikes. The Yeti Cycles SB120 T1 Complete Mountain Bike is every bit a race-driven Yeti, designed to get from point A to point B faster than anything else. What’s wild is that this bike, with only 120mm of rear travel (130 up front), will routinely roast bikes with way more travel–even through the rough stuff. Yeti’s been at the top of the go-fast mountain biking design heap for four decades, they know what they’re doing. This SB120 has Fox Factory suspension, SRAM’s excellent X01 mechanical group, and is made from Yeti’s best TURQ series carbon.
Frame/Shock
TURQ Series Carbon Frame– TURQ Series bikes are made with the highest quality carbon fiber available and offer a perfect balance of stiffness and compliance. The result is a bike that feels smooth, solid, and aggressive. Every bike is tested by the best racers in the world, including EWS World Champ Richie Rude, Yeti’s in-house testing team, and ambassadors around the world.
Switch Infinity Suspension– The new line of Yeti Switch Infinity bikes builds on their award-winning performance with subtle refined leverage rates that have been adjusted for the added travel of each new bike. This balanced approach to leverage rate results in an incredibly predictable ride. T/Carbon models have the latest Switch Infinity assembly, with improved seals, bearings, and hardware.
Fox Float DPS Factory Rear Shock– A lightweight chassis, EVOL air spring, and dual piston damper with 3-position switch create a pedal-friendly shock that soaks up the bumps and delivers pedal power to the ground with utmost efficiency. This Factory series shock features open-mode adjust and genuine Kashima coating.
Shock Adjustments– Air Spring Pressure / Lever-Actuated Open, Medium, Closed Compression (With Open Mode Adjust) / Rebound
Better Shock Tuning– Yeti has been tuning shocks in-house to ensure their kinematics pair seamlessly with their shocks. Using data acquisition and their shock dyno they are able to correlate hours of ride testing, splitting hairs over tenths of millimeters, to deliver the most out of their suspensions. The final tune is the result of countless hours of ride and lab testing with multiple, ground-up shock tunes going into the decision.
Frame Protection– An external hard cap provides impact resistance over a rubber under-guard that provides cushion against the frame.
Full Drop– Yeti’s seat tubes are shorter to allow for longer dropper posts.
New Pivot Designs– Yeti’s new pivot designs use 100% standard sized cartridge bearings secured with precision — machined floating collet axles. All bearings are pressed into the linkage assembly vs. the swingarm or front triangle. The end result is perfect alignment and smooth suspension motion every time, boosting longevity.
Internal Cable Routing with Secure Frame Ports– This may seem like a small thing, but having a clean aesthetic on the frame along with internally molded carbon tubes inside for hassle-free cable routing is key. It makes for a quiet ride and ease of maintenance. For Yeti, building a great frame is all about the details.
Universal Derailleur Hanger– If a hanger-bending crash occurs, the new Yeti models use the Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) interface — the industry standard mount for a rear derailleur. The UDH is available in nearly any bike shop, Yeti dealer or not.
Fork
Fork Adjustments– Air Spring Pressure / High-Speed Compression (8 Clicks) / Low-Speed Compression (16 Clicks) / High-Speed Rebound (8 Clicks) / Low-Speed Rebound (16 Clicks)
Fox 34 Factory– The hard-charging, do-it-all trail fork. Smoother, lighter, more tunable, and more capable than ever before; when it comes to a do-it-all trail fork the 34 is in a class of its own.
Drive Train
SRAM GX / X01 Eagle– SRAM Eagle is your partner for all rides, all the time, all day. Long days, quick rides and everything in-between, Eagle is 1×12 at its best. With the all new 520% range, all new colourways and seamless compatibility with the rest of the ecosystem, Eagle is there to maximize the potential of your ride experience.
Brakes
SRAM G2 RSC– The core of brake performance is consistency. Reliability. Trust. The new G2 RSC is based on the SRAM Code design, so it puts Code-like power and modulation into a mini-Code package. And of course the signature Guide lever-feel and contact-point adjustability ensures that this brake works great for every rider. The G2 RSC presents rider-controlled offering with an alloy blade, lever pivot bushings, stainless steel hardware.
Wheelset
Maxxis Minion DHF Front Tire– With a tread design that deftly balances rolling speed with braking and cornering traction, it’s no wonder why the Minion DHF is one of the most imitated tires in mountain biking.
Maxxis Aggressor Rear Tire– The Maxxis Aggressor is designed for high-speed, hard-packed, rocky trails. It works especially well as a rear tire paired with a Minion DHF or Assegai in the front.
DT Swiss XM1700 with 350 Hubs | 30mm– The best aluminium all mountain wheels. Period. That is what DT Swiss designed the XM 1700 Spline wheels to be. DT have given it everything needed to dominate the mountain. Light and robust welded rims, perfect tubeless compatibility for grip and puncture resistance as well as our reliable hubs with Ratchet freehub and a 36 tooth engagement. Equipped with the XM 1700 SPLINE nothing can stop you from your personal all mountain adventure.
