Yeti SB160 T-Series Suspension Details
Learn more about the SB160 Turq series FOX Factory Suspension as well as available upgrades.
Yeti SB160 T-Series Fork
The SB160 is spec’d with a 170mm travel FOX Float 38 GRIP2.
The GRIP2 features 2 rebound controls (high and low speed) as well as 2 compression controls (again, high and low speed).
Fine tuning is available with the rebound, compression as well as PSI and volume spacing.
Air Spring & Volume Spacers
The FOX 38 provides riders a range of setup options using air spring as well as volume spacers.
Suggested sag is 15% for a firm feel and 20% for a plush fork. On the stock 170mm setup 15% equals 26mm of sag. 20% will use 34mm of sag.
Volume Spacers
The 170mm FOX 38 is factory spec’d with 2 volume spacers (bike manufacturers may or may not change this). The 160mm fork can carry a maximum of 5 volume spacers.
Do not install more volume spacers than the FOX advises. Installing more than the maximum volume spacers will result in product damage and potential for injuries, etc.
FOX 38 GRIP2 Rebound Controls
The GRIP2 damper provides both Low (LSR) and High (HSR) rebound controls.
The addition of the High Speed or HSR control provides increased rebound control to account for the higher PSI produced by aggressive or heavier riders.
Typically riders will adjust LSR, Low Speed Rebound, to suit riding style and taste and refer to FOX’s guide for the appropriate HSR, High Speed Rebound, pairing.
FOX GRIP2 Compression Controls
The FOX GRIP2 damper provides Low and High speed compression controls to fine tune support.
Compression circuits hydraulically damp (or slow) the fork’s input assisting the air spring in providing appropriate mid-stroke and bottom out feel.
Low Speed Compression helps provide mid-stroke support. This allows a bike to ride taller in the travel in cornering while resisting brake dive, rider weight shift and other slow shaft speed inputs.
High Speed Compression works to fine tune bottom out feel as well as other high shaft speed inputs also known as square edge bumps. Example: if you sprint straight into a curb you’re likely to engage the High Speed Compression even if you’re not using full travel. This is due to the speed of the shaft moving oil to compensate for the hit.
Yeti SB160 Rear Shock Options
The SB160 has been designed with a more linear mechanical design improving the feel deep into the travel.
Paired with the stock FOX Float X2 riders can tune the compression and volume spacing to provide that perfect tune option (it’s easier to increase pop or “progressive-ness” with volume and compression than trying to tune “linear” into a more progressive mechanical design).
Most riders will prefer the Float X2 with it’s high and low speed adjustments on both compression and rebound, however, the SB160 can also be spec’d with a coil shock.
Wondering what’s right for you? Chat with our team about your size, speed, riding style and which shock you’re going to prefer!
Air Spring & Volume Spacers
The spec’d Fox Float Factory X2 is the most popular based on its wide variety of setup options.
SAG is adjusted by PSI – typically Enduro riding styles gravitate to 25-30% sag. This would measure about 17mm for a plush setup.
Volume Spacers
Volume spacing provides fine tuning options to support the air spring.
By adding volume spacers, thus reducing the volume, you increase the air spring’s ramp rate for improved bottom out support and pop.
Conversely removing volume spacers produces a more linear feel as the air has more volume during shock compression per mm of travel.
Do not install more volume spacers than the FOX advises. Installing more than the maximum volume spacers will result in product damage and potential for injuries, etc.
FOX FLOAT X2 Rebound Controls
The X2 rear shock provides both Low (LSR) and High (HSR) rebound controls.
The addition of the High Speed or HSR control provides increased rebound control to account for the higher PSI produced by aggressive or heavier riders.
Typically riders will adjust LSR, Low Speed Rebound, to suit riding style and taste and refer to FOX’s guide for the appropriate HSR, High Speed Rebound, pairing.
Low Speed Rebound is located near the Compression Controls and 2 position switch. High Speed Rebound adjustments are made on the opposite end of the shock near the eyelet.
FOX X2 Compression Controls
The FOX X2 provides Low and High speed compression controls to fine tune support as well as a 2 position OPEN or FIRM switch..
Compression circuits hydraulically damp (or slow) the fork’s input assisting the air spring in providing appropriate mid-stroke and bottom out feel.
Low Speed Compression helps provide mid-stroke support. This allows a bike to ride taller in the travel in cornering while resisting brake dive, rider weight shift and other slow shaft speed inputs.
High Speed Compression works to fine tune bottom out feel as well as other high shaft speed inputs also known as square edge bumps. Example: if you sprint straight into a curb you’re likely to engage the High Speed Compression even if you’re not using full travel. This is due to the speed of the shaft moving oil to compensate for the hit.
The FOX X2 provides 16 clicks of Low Speed Compression adjustment as well as 8 clicks of High Speed 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.

Yeti SB160: Comparative Bikes
What else is on your short list when shopping the Yeti SB160?
Well, the new Yeti has more travel than most of it’s Enduro competition – so if you’re looking for the most bike for the burliest days – the SB160 is a tough bike to beat.
Currently the list of bikes that are comparable to the Yeti SB160 would be the Ibis Ripmo with a 170mm fork and the 150mm travel Mondraker FOXY as well as the Nukeproof Mega and Giga.
In the longer travel bikes riders will note personality differences in early and mid stroke travel. The Yeti is a bike that begs for speed and rewards an active rider. The Nukeproof and Ibis have the speed capacity and a slightly more mellow personality while the Mondraker tends to reward a rider like a Yeti.
