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.

The SB5c is an effordable entry level enduro bike.

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.

The ASRc will also be available in Enduro Kit version.
