Yeti's flagship trail bike, the SB5, has long been coveted among the rip-anything crowd seeking a balanced rig that's lithe and light on the ups, yet well-composed and confident charging descents and rallying across technical terrain. Seeing its well-balanced demeanor, it was only a matter of time before female rippers wanted in on the trail fun.

Yeti's engineers achieve this feat by using the highest quality carbon, which allows them to reduce the amount of material without sacrificing strength or stiffness. To protect this premium carbon, Yeti employs custom-molded down tube and chainstay protectors that fend off flinging rocks and chunky trail debris. Not only is the SB5 Beti Turq impressively lightweight, but it's packing 5 inches of Yeti's famed Switch Infinity...
