Yeti SB130 TLR T2 Full Suspension Mountain Bike 2021
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 or 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.
The SB130 possesses a distinct, big mountain feel for riders constantly exposed to uncharted terrain.
Long Reach – Puts riders in a balanced position perfectly centred on the bike, ready to tackle the unknown.
150mm Fork – Because the 130mm of rear suspension outperforms similarly stroked forks and pairs well with Yeti’s 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
FRONT FORK TRAVEL – It never hurts to go bigger on your gear when you’re going bigger out there. Lunch Ride kits get a 160mm Grip 2 damper fork so riders can dial in their suspension and get the most performance out of their suspension and most of the terrain.
REAR WHEEL TRAVEL – 7mm might be small to others, but to mountain bikers it’s the difference in “will you?” and “hell yes!” Pair this 7mm to the bigger front fork and the already capable SB130 starts to give its bigger sibling a run for the money.
DEGREES SLACKER HTA – Lengthen the fork and you slacken the head angle by half a degree. What you get is a bike that exudes confidence no matter what you choose to descend so you can push longer, faster, and further into the unknown.
COMPONENT SPEC CHANGES – Wider bars, bigger rear rotor, beefier tires, burlier wheels, and more powerful brakes. LR isn’t just a spec change. It’s a mindset shifter. Eight total spec differences make sure the Lunchride is ready for anything the trail throws at it. It’s up to any task. Are you?
A shock tune unique, to the SB130 – Through a process of gathering qualitative data about “feel” from their athletes and validation through quantitative telemetry data, Yeti were able to push the performance of the SB130. They 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.
LEVERAGE RATE – The patented Switch Infinity has been laid out to have supple small bump compliance but ramp up quicker in the mid-stroke while still allowing for bottom-out control with a 12% progressive leverage ratio.
ANTI-SQUAT – Across our line, we 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.
SILENCE IS TURQ – Internally routed cable tubes from end to end for silent function. And less translation of housing during suspension movement.
