Master of the gnarniverse. Bold claim for some. Fact-checked humility for the SB165. At home outside the tape, beyond the norm. Taken on the trails nobody talks about. Trusted on the lines where mistakes can’t happen. Comfortable with all the chaos. Pleased when you’re puckered. Fearless of your fear.

CUT THE TAPE  – The rowdiest trails are outside the tape, so Yeti gravity tested in the lab and toss tested by Reed Boggs.

SECURE IN THE ROUGH  – Chainguide ready out of the box. And standard equipment on all SB165 builds.

GRAVITY TESTED  – The SB165 is built tough. The frame meets Yeti DH testing standards, well beyond what others do for a 165mm trail bike. This thing will last for a lifetime, but Yeti gave you a warranty to match just for good measure.

LET’ER EAT  – Chair lift, Shuttle truck or self-shuttle. The SB165 doesn’t discriminate. If you choose to earn your turns, it’s no slouch.

ANTI-SQUAT  – Across Yeti’s line, they have chosen a relatively flat and high anti-squat curve in the 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, as opposed to one single point. After the 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

LEVERAGE RATE  – When seeking to find the outer limits of personal performance, it would be a shame to reach the limit of your bike first. A straighter curve through the mid stroke provides more support is inherent to suspension kinematics. And a steeper progression ramp up at the end of the travel – without affecting the anti-squat characteristics is unique to our patented Switch Infinity suspension – delivers a feel that is capable of pushing as hard and deep as most are willing to go.

SLACKER THAN MOST DH BIKES – The SB165 loves the steeps.

STEEP WHERE IT COUNTS – A steeper seat tube angle means pedaling back up isn’t a slog.

DUAL CROWN COMPATIBLE – Capable and already on Reed’s bike.
