If you live for high speeds, challenging black diamond trails, and gnarly enduro courses, take a look at the Yeti SB150 Turq T2 X01 Eagle AXS Mountain Bike. It's a race bred machine who's sole purpose is to get you down the mountain as fast as possible, and it's kitted out with some of the best components money can buy, including Fox Factory suspension and SRAM's new AXS wireless electronic drivetrain. Boasting 150mm of plush Switch Infinity rear travel, a 170mm Fox fork, progressive race geometry, and steamrolling 29-inch wheels, the SB150 makes quick work of technical trails while maintaining good pedaling characteristics for long days in the saddle with plenty of elevation gain.

Shortly after the initial release, Yeti factory team rider Richie Rude piloted the SB150 to a stunning victory on the steep and loose stages of the EWS at Ainsa, immediately followed by another win at EWS Finale Ligure, solidifying the legitimacy of this new hard-hitter from Yeti and proving that the wagon wheels are here to stay. 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 spacing, better suspension, and refined frame materials--all things that Yeti to...
