Piloted to numerous EWS victories and countless regional enduro wins, the Yeti SB6 is proven at elite levels of racing by Yeti's pro riders. It's a bike built for conquering big terrain with speed and confidence. With 6. 0in of rear travel and 6. 7in up front, the SB6 is optimized for smashing downhills, but with the proven pedaling platform of the Switch Infinity suspension, it's right at home on the transfer stages as well. Advancements in carbon technology are part of the bike's impressive capability, allowing Yeti to build a frame that's strong enough to handle the gnarliest enduro stages or bike park lines, while remaining light and efficient enough for big rides in the backcountry with plenty of climbing.

That being said, rugged terrain is an inherent part of mountain biking, so Yeti incorporates custom frame protectors on the down tube and chainstay to help withstand rock strikes and chain slap. Yeti constructs the frame from their C-Series carbon fiber, finding the right balance of strength, stiffness, and compliance while helping to keep costs down with a revised carbon layup and a marginal 250g weight penalty. The key to the SB6's success is the Switch Infinity suspension offering 152mm (6. 0in) of plush yet efficient travel. The characteristically smooth Yeti ride quality is due to the linear suspension curve offered by the translating main pivot, aka the Switch Infinity link. The link moves upward in the beginning of the travel, pr...
