Yeti Cycles SB5+ Shimano XT/SLX

Always reaching for the widest tire you can find? If so, push your limits on Yeti's SB5+, offering unparalleled stability and traction. Yeti's stable, robust Carbon series frame weighs just 250 grams more than its TURQ counterpart for a sturdy bike ready to attack your local trail scene. Yeti’s Switch Infinity suspension platform and smart frame design grants you the trail-ruling trinity of deep travel support with small bump sensitivity and rock-solid climbing. Add 5 inches of ample Fox Factory suspension to the equation, and you have a bike that is nearly unstoppable. Plus-sized 27.5-inch Maxxis Rekon tires grip tight in dirt, mud, gravel — anything you can find — while DT Swiss keeps you rolling on a wheelset that’s sturdy, smooth, and fast. Shimano's 11-speed XT/SLX drivetrain packs a potent punch in value versus dependability, while SLX brakes ensure you don't blow through a corner on the descent. Wrapping-up this traction-loaded build is Fox's Transfer dropper seatpost, giving you everything you need for backcountry exploration.
