With all present bike models in full carbon, Yeti has been through 30 years of history and has even been an influencer in this history. Time to celebrate!
Limited edition 30th anniversary model
As first eye catcher, an SB6 was showed, in the originial Yeti team colors. Only 250 bikes will have this paint job, so you really have to run if interested!
New SB45c
Yeti launched their new 29er as a successor of the SB95c. As if having been put on a diet, the rear suspension shrinks to 4.5", while there's 5.5" of travel in the front. Fitted with the Switch Infinity Link (launched last year), a short 17.2" chainstay and a 67,4º head angle, we expect this bike to be a nimble trail/enduro bike. Availability is claimed in october.
Enduro Kit
Two models were shown with the new Enduro Kit specs. The SB5c and ASRc have a more effordable carbon frame with a weight penalty of 150g. The SB5c is spec'd with SRAM GX 1x11 gears and Fox 34/Float EVOL as front and rear suspension. This makes a great looking entry level enduro bike.
Geometry of the Yeti is as follows when equipped with a 130mm front fork or 140mm.

Built for a range of riding types including cross country racing, enduro racing and trail riding, the SB4.5C features Yeti's hallmark geometry: a long top tube, slack head angle, and low bottom bracket. 17.2-inch long chainstays ensure the SB4.5C is an agile climber, yet is still confident at high speed.
