NEW Yeti SB115 | HEAPS of Down-Country Attitude

This video contains paid product placement for Freewheel. Yeti have a new 'down-country' bike - the SB115, with 115mm of rear wheel travel dolled out by their Switch Infinity link suspension, and paired with a 130mm fork. This new 29er is aimed at adventuring riders heading out for all-day epics and even the more 'extreme' multi-day marathon races, such as the BC Bike Race. Yeti says the bike came about as their crew in California were riding the SB100, released in 2018, but wanted to give it the 'lunch-ride' treatment - taking their XC platform and adding a little bit of attitude to make it handle those fast rides that had a bit of gnar chucked in, even better. By playing around with the shocks in the SB100, they realised that, with a longer stroke shock and a few other tweaks here and there, they could squeeze another 15mm travel out of the frame, with no gain in weight. With the rise in popularity of the 'down-country' bike, it seemed obvious to add this new type of bike to the Yeti line-up.
