Yeti Cycles 2017 SB5, SB5+ (27.5 plus sized) SB6 : Learn about Turq vs Carbon

9/30/2016 : sicklines

Yeti showed us some of their newest 2017 bikes and we snapped a few detailed pictures that you can see inside.  For 2017 they’re offering TURQ series and Carbon series bikes.  Learn more inside.

The main difference you’ll see on the TURQ series bikes is not easy to spot from the outside. While the build spec’s are higher on TURQ models, the real tweaks are to the carbon layup. Compared to their standard Carbon models, TURQ shaves 250-400g. EWS tested and proven.

Carbon series frames while still high quality utilize less high modulus carbon than the TURQ Series bikes. The Carbon Series maintains Yeti’s award winning ride quality and technology standards only sacrificing weight. Every model in their lineup now includes Carbon Series frames paired with individually chosen components to balance performance and price.

Be sure to read more about their 2017 range and clothing in our earlier post as well.

With an updated, sleek frame design, internal cable routing, BOOST spacing, lower stand-over height and metric suspension all atop Yeti’s Switch Infinity translating pivot, the all-new SB5 is the go-to choice for any trail adventure.
