Yeti Cycles SB165 Carbon C2 GX Eagle Mountain Bike

Yeti Cycles says...

While 29-inch wheels seem to be the obvious choice for the majority of modern bikes, there's still many proponents for 27. 5-inch wheels in the gravity world -- and for good reason. When it comes to maneuvering tight corners, yanking over massive doubles, or getting styley on the jumpline, it's hard to beat the highly responsive feel that the smaller wheels offer. While the 29-inch wagon wheels may cover ground a little more efficiently, the 27. 5inch wheel is still an obvious choice for many due to the undeniable fun-factor. Yeti hasn't forgotten about our fun-loving friends, and for those of you who like to ride hard and go big, they've created the SB165, and anyone who's ridden it knows that it's here to stay.

The SB165 builds on that foundation, but Yeti pushes the geometry into fully modern territory to stay ahead of the current crop of long-travel sleds. The reach has grown by 40mm in size large compared to the SB6, landing at a whopping 480mm, and the head angle was slackened by a full 1. 5-degrees down to 63. 5-degrees. These numbers are pretty close to what you'd find on downhill race bikes, which means riders can enjoy absolute confidence carrying speed through treacherous rock gardens and steep, washed-out chut...
