Inquire About This Yeti SB160

Yeti SB160 Complete – Turquoise, Radium & Cobalt (images may not show kit referenced on this page)

What’s New on the SB160?

There are a handful of things worth a look for aggressive riders:

The new Yeti features improved Switch Infinity Assembly on the Turq series builds and frames.

The downtube to bottom bracket interface has been angled up slightly for improved clearance.

For riders roosting rocks and dirt onto their beautiful Yeti frames there is a new dual-density downtube protector.

SRAM UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) allows a stiffer rear end with the new 55mm chainline.

Threaded Bottom Brackets.

There are revisions to the suspension’s performance curves designed to allow a more bottomless feel without compromising the trail efficiency these bikes have been known for.

SB160 Linkage

One of the most notable updates to the Yeti linkage on the SB160 from a usability and user-servicable standpoint is the spec and location of the bearings.

Standard sized cartridge bearings, pressed into the linkage, instead of the front or rear triangle mean that if you need to replace a bearing it’s a far less intimidating process.

Racing your SB160? This is going to come up now and then. Ripping your SB160? Well, you’re not as likely to be going through bearing as much as if you’re racing it but with Yeti’s unbeatable frame warranty being able to freshen bearings or even full linkage without messing with press fits in carbon? Love it.

SB160 Linkage Updates & Improvements

The continued evolution of the Yeti SB Switch Infinity Design isn’t limited to the actual lower pivot “Switch” on the new SB160.

The SB160 Linkage features upgrades notable and subtle – both that extend the rider window for the 160mm Yeti 29er.

Some of the other advantages to the new linkage revision include lower stand-over height and more water bottle room, even with the raised down tube to bottom bracket connector (more on that later)

More Linear

As the Yeti EWS proven offering it’s no surprise the SB160 has design details looking for every bit of speed and advantage. While the ordinary, human, non-EWS rider might never take a bike to that capacity these details give a wider range of setup options.

The SB160 is designed with a more linear suspension ramp rate. It’s also been designed to allow a coil setup for riders looking for that performance feel as they thunder through the chunky stuff.

But I want the POP

Modern shocks have a lot of adjustability on the compression circuits  allowing riders to create a great balance between the full tilt wide open race personality and something that’s equally at home on your local loop with your buddies before tacos and beer.

Coil or Air?

Chat with our team about the capacity and differences in the SB160 built with the standard air shock versus swapping to a coil.  Racing? If you’re looking to raise your game on a single bike you might want to chat about both options. Luckily our team at BikeCo.com has an unmatched expertise when it comes to fine tuning Suspension, Wheels, Brakes and Cockpit.

SB160 Frame Developments

(center) Threaded bottom bracket. Sounds minor? Well, no, not in my book! Threaded bottom brackets are available in a wider range of price (and performance) points. They’re generally easier and less intimidating to change. They tend to creak less although BikeCo’s frame prep service addresses a lot of that anyhow…

(right) SRAM UDH – Universal Derailleur Hanger. Easier to source parts when you have that big moment on a trip and don’t want to miss the next day’s riding. The UDH also allows for a 55mm chainline which produces a stiffer, better tracking rear end.

SB160 C2 Suspension Details

This is one of the most popular upgrades, especially on Enduro MTB bikes, as it offers the top of the line FOX dampers with improved compression controls.

BikeCo Exclusive: Pro Tune Suspension

There are a lot of reasons to shop at The Bike Company (BikeCo.com). Some are: Unmatched attention to detail. Incredible after sales setup follow up. Pro Tune Suspension.

Our team works with the FOX fork and shock lineup to take the already great FOX suspension to the next level. Working with our team of suspension tuners we will narrow the FOX performance window based on your size, riding style, terrain, ground speeds, aggression, goals and chassis.

What’s it mean to narrow the performance window? Well, each click is more precise. The fluid is hand picked for you. The bleed is more precise.

On trail your suspension will be more plush while maintaining the support and progression you need to really attack the trail.

For racers our tuned suspension subtracts seconds from your run. For pleasure riders it improves the traction and feel allowing you to progress quicker in your riding.

Suspension: With the Yeti Factory FOX Suspension upgrade at time of purchase you can get the best suspension on your bike at an unbeatable price.

GX AXS: why not upgrade to the wireless AXS kit?

Brakes: Most riders will upgrade or swap the Code RSC brakes. Shimano XT or XTR, Magura MT7 , the new Hope series – even TRP are making in-roads in the brake market.

Wheels: Onyx silent hubs, Chris King hubs, Industry Nine Hydra – all are at home on a build at this level. We work with a range of carbon rims to allow you to fine tune rim width and stiffness as well. Wheels are a BIG part of a bike’s personality so chat with our team to get it right the first time!

Cockpit: If you have a cockpit you like let’s get it on the bike. Many riders find carbon bars help minimize arm pump and fatigue.

Seating: Like cockpit, if you have a saddle or seatpost you love its a common change across all the builds.

Chain: A LOT of riders will upgrade to the XX1 chain. It has slightly more advanced coatings which give it a longer lifespan as well as color options to highlight your new Yeti dream bike!

SB160 vs SB150 Developments

Check out the Geo comparison below for a more detailed look and size by size comparison of the SB160.

Some of the highlights of the SB160 design include:

Size Specific Updates: A size run from Small to XX-Large wasn’t enough for Yeti. They’ve upped the game with size specific chainstay, effective and actual seattube measurements. This allows a more finite setup no matter what size is the right size. With the size specific chainstay riders on the larger or smaller side of the sizing spectrum will be in a position to better control both front and rear wheel in a wide range of terrain.

Overall Lower Seattube: Run a longer travel seatpost for improved clearance in the steeps.

64 degree headtube is 0.5 degrees slacker than the SB150 for a longer trail measurement.

Improved Ground Clearance: A product of moving the shock forward, the bottom bracket box and down tube connection was able to be raised notably compared to the SB150 for better ground clearance. Without sacrificing water bottle space!

What else is on your short list when shopping the Yeti SB160?
