Yeti SB5.5c Announced

The SB5.5c is where the trail, all-mountain and gravity bike intersect. Tried and tested under the likes of EWS champion Richie Rude and our in-house test team, this lightweight bike eats up grueling technical climbs and hauls going downhill. Forget any preconceived notions about 29ers, thanks to an impeccable frame design, shortened chain stays and aggressive suspension spec, this bike is easy to maneuver and feels lively and quick on the descents.

Features

• Switch Infinity patented suspension system

  Switch Infinity utilizes a patented translating pivot that switches direction as the bike moves through its travel. This provides excellent anti-squat characteristics for superior pedaling performance and ideal suspension characteristics as it gets deeper into the travel.

  

• High modulus carbon fiber main frame and swing arm

  

• Collet axle system on pivots reduces bearing wear

  

• Tapered inset headtube (44mm/56mm)

  

• Custom down tube protector and chain guards

  

• Internal cable routing

  

• Integrated axle and derailleur hanger system

Geometry

 

From the tangled sheep paths of the tussock grasslands to purpose-built trails snaking through the sharp mountain peaks, New Zealand ’s varied topography makes for an awe-inspiring mountain bike playground. We traveled throughout the South Island testing the SB5.5c on the fast, ragged conditions in Queenstown and Mount Cook to the mud and gnarled roots of the beach forests of Craigieburn.
