Details
The SB5.5 is a supremely capable 29er: easy to maneuver and super nimble on lightning fast descents.
With 5.5" or 140mm of dialed and plush travel supplied by a long travel 51mm offset fork, it still offers best in class climbing capabilities. Bike magazine points out that, "by extending the platform to a long travel 29er the company might have created its most capable all-rounder to date."
The XT/SLX variant is efficient on the climbs with the Classic Shimano XT 11X46 rear cassette and a 30T chainring.
We love this bike and tons of our customers do too.
Some of the standout features are the Switch Infinity Rear Suspension, which Yeti released to monstrous acclaim and it's no surprise why. The Switch Infinity offers amazing pedaling performance whether you're climbing your favorite Rock Garden or crushing it at the Wheeler Creek Trail outside Ogden.
You'll also love how the bike handles big hits too, as it stiffens up as it get's deeper into its suspension curve. All this while not feeling too overdampened.
You'll also love the Light, Stiff and Ultra tough High Modulous Carbon Fiber Frame and swingarm that has been newly redesigned for a cleaner more refined look with internal cable routing.
Yeti also upgraded their Rear Shock with the new SB5.5's Fox Float DPX2 shock that provides great adjustability, killer mid-stroke support while also devouring small bumps and washboard.
If you're looking for a dream 29er, this is it.
