The SB6 Turq Mountain Bike Frame makes for a bruiser of a bike, and happens to be the exact same frame that Yeti's Factory Enduro team pilots to victory on the burly tracks of the Enduro World Series. Advancements in carbon technology allow Yeti to build a frame that's strong enough to handle the biggest and baddest enduro stages or bike park lines, while remaining light and efficient enough for all-day epics in the backcountry with plenty of climbing involved. Delivering six inches of plush travel through Yeti's revered Switch Infinity suspension platform, the SB6 is designed to excel on a World Championship level as well as slaying your local trails with confidence-inspiring composure.

I mean, it has to hold up to the aggressive shredding of Richie Rude who makes the earth quiver beneath him while riding, so it's certainly strong enough for the rest of us. 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.
