Yeti SB5 Carbon XT/SLX Mountain Bike 2018 Turquoise

Season:2018

Brand:Yeti Cycles

Code:YCB18SB5CXSP-YETI18

The Yeti SB5 Carbon 27.5 Mountain Bike 2018 is the next iteration of Yeti's most popular all-mountain bike. Born from the trails of Colorado, the SB5 represents everything a trail bike should be — lightweight, nimble on climbs and dominant on descents. 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, it is the go-to choice for any trail adventure.

Yeti took everything that was loved about the original and turned it into a more refined machine. A slacker head tube angle, steeper seat tube angle, shorter chainstays, and a slightly longer front-end. These geometry tweaks create an even more playful bike that can be pushed even harder. Working with FOX suspension, Yeti created an exclusive configuration that's fine-tuned for the SB5. This resulted in better mid-stroke compression and small bump sensitivity providing a wider range of riders with a custom feel.

Yeti SB5 Carbon 2018 Features

  • Nimble on the climbs and dominant on descents - everything a trail bike should be
  • Optimal travel to slay the trail, with a refined geometry
  • Exclusive Fox suspension configuration
  • Switch Infinity patented suspension system
  • High modulus carbon fibre main frame and swing arm
  • Collet axle system on pivots reduces bearing wear

Yeti SB5 Carbon XT/SLX 2018 Build Highlights

Climb with ease thanks to the efficient Shimano XT 11x46t rear cassette and a 30t chainring on the SB5 Carbon XT/SLX. Point this bike downhill and get ready to rip with the Switch Infinity suspension platform and the metric Fox Performance suspension. Add Boost spacing to the mix and you have a plush, playful, yet stable ride. Thanks to Maxxis Ardent tyres and Shimano brakes, you maintain just the right amount of traction and control.

  • Fox 34 Performance 150mm Boost fork
  • Fox Float Performance rear shock
  • Shimano XT/SLX 1x11 groupset. Race Face Aeffect cranks. 30T / 11-46T gearing
  • Fox Transfer Performance dropper post
  • DT Swiss M1900 Boost wheelset

Yeti SB5 Carbon Frame Details

Utilising the same design and geometry of the SB5 TURQ series, the SB5 Carbon offers similar stiffness and durability with a nominal 240 gram increase in weight. The SB5 Carbon is built strong enough for Richie Rude, but made for us regular shredders.

  • Switch Infinity patented suspension system
  • High modulus carbon fibre main frame and swing arm
  • Internally molded carbon tubes inside of frame for hassle-free cable routing
  • Class-leading standover height
  • Collet axle system on pivots reduces bearing wear
  • Integrated ISCG-05 mounts
  • Tapered inset headtube (44mm/56mm)
  • Boost hub spacing, front and rear
  • Custom down-tube protector and chain-guards
  • Integrated axle and derailleur hanger system

Switch Infinity Translating Pivot - Explained

The Switch Infinity holds full control of the bikes 5" of suspension, switching direction as the bike moves through its travel to result in a confidence inspiring performance that feels simply amazing on the trail. As you move through the bikes travel the pivot switches direction, early on in the movement it heads upwards, providing anti-squat and optimal pedalling.

Further along the travel the pivot eventually switches to a downwards movement, providing you with a bottomless feeling that stops any chain force from affecting how the suspension performs. All resulting in an efficient, fun to ride and most importantly high performing ride both on the up and down hill!

How To Measure Yourself

Measure Your Height

Our handy size charts match your height to the appropriate frame size so you need to be sure you’ve measured your height accurately.

  1. Take off your shoes and stand with your back against a wall.
  2. Make sure legs are together and your shoulders are back.
  3. Place a pencil on top of your head and mark the wall (the best and easiest way to do this properly is with a friend to help you).
  4. Measure from the floor to the pencil mark you have just made with a tape measure.

Range of Reach

For most people to get the right frame size, measuring your height will suffice. However, you may find that your height is on the borderline of the range we suggest for a particular frame. If this occurs you need to measure the range of your reach or “Ape Index”. This will ensure you get a comfortable distance between the handlebars and your saddle.

  1. Stand up straight with your back against a wall.
  2. Life your arms out horizontally either side of you.
  3. Measure the distance from fingertip of one hand to fingertip of the other. This will give you your arm span.
  4. Subtract your height from this figure to get your Ape Index.
  5. If the result is positive (your arm span is greater than your height) you should go for the larger size of bike.
  6. If the result is negative (your arm span is less than your height you need the smaller size.

Stand Over Height

You should also consider your inside leg measurement when choosing your bike to ensure adequate stand over height. Stand over height is the clearance between the top tube and the bottom of your crotch. For mountain bikes we recommend a distance of 2-4 inches and for road or hybrid bikes 1-2 inches of clearance is required. This will ensure comfort when you’re stopped and standing astride the bike.

Our bike sizing charts take stand over height into consideration but if you have a particularly long or short inside leg measurement in relation to your height you will need to bear this in mind when selecting your frame size.

Riding Style

The way you ride and the type of bike you are into will also impact the frame size you should choose. For example, a trail devotee looking for an aggressive ride may prefer a smaller, more manoeuvrable bike size. It all comes down to personal preference and how the bike feels to you.

Our sizing charts aim to be as specific as possible so you can look up the particular type, make and model of bike you’re looking for. Remember, the sizes given in our guides are suggestions and should be used for general advice only. For the best possible fit  we recommend popping in to your local Leisure Lakes Bikes store, or call 0800 083 0888 for expert advice tailored to you.
