2022 Yeti SB150 T1 29"

Forward Bias Posture
Gives racers the room they need, and centers them on the bike.

Slacker Headtube
Lower bottom bracket, and longer wheelbase.

Tested to DH Standards
High-impact strength, carbon lay-up tuned to go fast and tested to DH standards.

Feels Fast, and is Fast are Different
Yeti took Switch Infinity’s winning heritage and made the leverage ratio more progressive (but not too progressive) to provide greater compatibility with modern shocks and a wider range of racer setups. In addition, the bike has better small bump compliance, ramps up quicker in the mid-stroke, while still allowing for full travel and bottom-out control. Racers spend more time in the supportive part of the curve – when entering toothy sections or carrying corner speed, the SB150 offers something to push against for greater race stage velocities.

20mm Longer Travel Fork
Pairs well with our forward-biased frame matching the vertical wheel travel of the rear suspension.

Leverage Rate
The relatively linear progression curve ensures racers get more track speed, and full travel from their suspension. Forget what you know – the clock proves more progressive curves aren’t faster. 

Wishbone Shock Extender
Patent pending wishbone shock extender changes leverage ratio, maintains kinematics and maximizes stand over clearance. For racers, the shock can be removed from the frame under two minutes to change a shock tune or perform a race day service. 

Across the line, Yeti has 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 suspensions performance. Decoupling of the chain forces allows the suspension to work more efficiently to absorb impacts making the feel of a Yeti distinct.

Tunable for Stage-decimating Performance
Richie Rude wins running the same suspension design that comes stock on the SB150. No team only linkage or mods to his Switch Infinity. As personal performance elevates, racers are able to tune the SB150 to carry more and more speed – right up to the top of the box.

Custom Shock Tune
Each Yeti model has a custom shock tune that is developed in house. Each tune is specifically designed to work in conjunction with the leverage ratio and anti-squat performance properties the engineering team builds with each frame. The performance characteristics of the SB150 are built using qualitative data from Yeti athletes, and quantitative data recorded from telemetry devices which allows Yeti to derive a tune that both enhances mid-stroke and bottom-out control while maintaining its pedaling efficiency.
