Yeti Cycles SB130 Carbon C2 AXS Factory Mountain Bike

Yeti Cycles says...

Modern trail bikes have a tendency to lean one way or another; they either feel like a hard hitting cross-country bike or a tamed enduro bike. Yeti took this into consideration and wondered -- why can't one bike provide a rider with both of these feelings' Thusly, the SB130 was born with the intention of being equally comfortable on long-distance backcountry epics to beefy bike park jump lines. Within the build options for the SB130, the SB130 Carbon C2 GX Eagle AXS Bike sits right at the front of the pack, making quick work of steep technical trails and allowing you to billygoat up climbs thanks to the instant shifting ability of AXS. Anyone who has ridden the Switch Infinity rear linkage can attest to how it simultaneously provides grippy traction, supple forgiveness, and playful support. These attributes are exemplified well by the SB130 thanks to its balanced build characteristics. Factor in its lightweight carbon construction, the Switch Infinity platform with FOX suspension, and a snappy shifting, wide-range SRAM GX Eagle AXS drivetrain, and you have an ultra-capable bike at an impressive price point considering it's cutting-edge technology.Longer and slacker continues to be the name of the game, and on the SB130 the numbers lean towards the trend of a more capable descending bike that can still pedal when it's time to earn your turn. Its 65. 5-degree headtube is a full degree slacker than the brands 5. 5, a bike that already pushed the boundaries of a long-travel 29er. Of course this contributes to unflappable stability when descending steep, technical terrain, but usually, a headtube angle so slack would be a bear on climbs and have lazy handling manners on the rest of the trail. This simply isn't the case with the SB130 as it employs a 44mm fork offset to bring the front wheel in closer to the rider so the contact patch is more aft than fore, for improved traction and a front wheel that's less likely to wander when the trail points up.
