If you're ideal ride consists of barreling down black diamond trails at warp speed and taking the point-and-shoot approach through chunky rocks and roots, you'll need a capable and trustworthy steed between your legs like the Yeti SB150 Turq Mountain Bike Frame. Equipped with 150mm of plush Switch Infinity travel, slacked out enduro race geometry, and monster truck 29-inch wheels, the SB150 is a race bred machine that's designed to get you down the mountain as fast as humanly possible.

Since then, the SB150 has found itself atop countless podiums at local enduro series as well as the flagship EWS. The fact is, 29ers simply roll faster and don't get hung up as easily on obstacles, making them a stellar choice for covering ground quickly on rugged terrain. Of course, all of this was brought about by changes in modern geometry, boost s...
