Yeti Cycles SB4.5 29er Carbon Series - 2018

The SB4.5 is not easily categorized until you ride it. It’s a bit of a chameleon – it’ll be whatever you want it to be. Our crew has raced it in seven-day epics, shredded it on high-alpine lines and it’s the go-to recommendation for someone who wants a versatile bike with big wheels.

The SB4.5 rides bigger than the travel suggests.

Switch infinity suspension makes our bikes efficient on the ups, but even more capable on the downs because you can utilize all the travel without ramping up and things getting weird. This allows us to spec longer travel forks up front. More travel, more fun.
