29″ wheels have become more and more common amongst riders and it should come as no surprise that Yeti is now offering a SB95 in a carbon trim. It certainly isn’t a cheap bike to purchase but you can check out the details inside.
The SB95C isn’t just the most advanced 29er we’ve ever made, or the most advanced carbon frame we’ve ever designed, it might be the best bike we’ve built to date.
This is the culmination of more than six years of work and testing on the SB platform. There’s the revolutionary Switch Technology suspension platform, which received rave reviews on the SB-95, for snappy pedaling and predictable bump absorption; the slack, low-slung geometry that kept the bike attached to the trail and that only got livelier with the introduction of carbon.
The SB95C, which carries the same progressive geometry, short chain stays, and five-inch travel as its 29er predecessor but wraps it all in a light, stiff high-mod carbon frame that is the result of years of R&D and testing on the trails we call home. The one-bike quiver? This could be it.
Featuring a high modulus carbon fiber frame in an aggressive trail-style geometry. Internal brake and derailleur cable routing.
Protecting carbon frames is something important to riders and Yeti has designed a custom guard with a plymar rubber coating that you can see on the downtube near the bottom bracket area.
