Yeti SB130 T3 Bike w/AXS and Carbon Wheels Info

The Yeti SB130 T3 is a mid-travel trail bike that can do it all. It is light enough to charge up climbs and hit high speeds but also has a capable suspension that can attack endurance terrain and descents. This is the bike riders want to take into uncharted territory. It feels at home through the unknown, even when the rider is unsure of what lies ahead. With some extra fork and wheel travel, a classic Yeti suspension, and a lively frame, this bike has a big mountain feel with short travel performance. The Yeti SB130 T3 is for the rider who wants to take on a huge range of trails with confidence.

The frame of the Yeti SB130 is made with their TURQ carbon fiber. This material is their highest quality fiber for a perfect balance of stiffness and compliance. It checks all the boxes needed in a versatile trail bike. This build results in a ride that feels smooth, stable, and aggressive. Cables are internally routed, leading to virtually silent function. An incredibly lightweight carbon fiber build makes the SB130 an outstanding climber for a mid-suspension machine. TURQ carbon is also strong enough to withstand the punishment of endurance terrain and downhill adventures. The Yeti SB130 offers a lightweight, stiff, and strong frame for a huge range of trail excursions.

A unique geometry is incorporated in the Yeti SB130 to help it achieve its balanced set of skills. A long reach helps keep riders in a stable position, perfect for tacking unknown terrain or a tricky descent. The front end keeps the rider in a neutral position, preventing it from wandering as a climb progresses. This also leads to a forward bias posture for more composure on the way back down the hill. The geometry is optimized for its 29-inch DT Swiss EXC 1501 Carbon wheelset. With a slacker headtube angle and long wheelbase, the Yeti SB130 is the go-to bike for virtually any trail.

As its name suggests, the Yeti SB130 offers 130mm of rear travel. This version includes a Fox Factory DPX2 shock. The front of the bike adds an additional 150mm of travel thanks to a Fox Factory 36 Fit 4 suspension fork. The suspension is centered around Yeti’s Switch Infinity technology which utilizes a patented pivot which switches direction as the bike progresses through its travel. Switch Infinity creates an anti-squat curve while allowing the leverage ratio to be tuned independently. This leads to a bottomless feeling shock and outstanding pedaling performance. The T3 version is also equipped SRAM XX1 Eagle AXS groupset for elite-level trail specific electronic shifting. The Yeti SB130 is at the top of the heap when it comes to trail bike versatility.
