Yeti SB130 T1 Full Suspension Mountain Bike 2022

Yeti SB130 T1 Full Suspension Mountain Bike 2022

The rebel yell of the middle child. Fed a steady diet of super-tech climbs. The SB130 was built to crush the biggest terrain. No trail “too” anything. Point it up of down. Enter a last-minute Enduro just for the eff of it. We say no one bike can rule all.. But the SB130? One bike that rules.

Features:

The SB130 possesses a distinct, big mountain feel for riders constantly exposed to uncharted terrain.

Long reach – Puts riders in a balances position perfectly centered on the bike, ready to tackle the unknown

150mm Fork – Because the 130mm rear suspension outperforms similarly stroked forks and pairs well with the more forward biased position.

Front end doesn’t wander climbing – And stays composed when pointed downhill – the rider position remains neutral.

Low slung, long drop – Long stroke dropper post capability throughout entire size range – for greater agility.

A Shock Tune unique to the SB130

Through a process of gathering qualitative data about “feel” from Yeti athletes and validation through quantitative telemetry data, they were able to push the performance of the SB130. Yeti developed the tune to enhance its mid-stoke and bottom-out control while maintaining ascending efficiency. While the tune is exclusive, the Fox shock it’s built from is not, making replacement parts readily available, or further personalization accessible.

Anti Squat

Across Yeti’s line, they have chosen a relatively flat and high anti-squat curve in beginning and mid-section of travel where pedaling commonly occurs a.k.a the pedaling zone. This creates an efficient pedaling platform through your entire pedaling zone, there is an inflection point where the Switch Infinity link moves down, dropping the anti-squat drastically. Riders are typically not pedaling in this zone, so chain forces have less of an effect on the suspension performance. Decoupling of the chain forces allows the suspension to work more efficiently to absorb impacts making the feel of a Yeti distinct.
