What’s New on the 2023 Yeti SB160
There’s a more compact section in front of the bottom bracket for extra ground clearance on rough trails. The downtube protection system has a rubber under-guard that cushions the frame, and an external hard cap for superior impact resistance.
The cap is also removable for dropper post cable routing. Size-specific seat tube angles and chain stay lengths ensure riders of all heights get the same incredible performance. The seat tube itself is shorter to run a longer dropper.
T-Series builds have a better Switch Infinity suspension. The bearings are pressed right into the linkage assembly as opposed to the swingarm or front triangle. Along with machined floating collet axles to boost longevity. Both features are meant for better alignment and the smoothest suspension motion.
The patented two-piece wishbone shock extender ensures optimal clamping, shock compatibility, and easy shock removal for longer travel application. The forward positioning increases downtube clearance and and lessens standover height.
A universal derailleur hanger offers unparalleled derailleur protection. They’re sold at almost any bike shop, so no trouble finding a replacement. Enduro Max bearings are housed in the pivot linkages. Easy to replace, and less chance of damaging the frame in the process. Plus, there is no a threaded bottom bracket!
Internally-routed cable tubes have secure closures at entry and exit points. That means no rattling or cable rub. You can even run a mechanical drivetrain and dropper or a wireless set-up. Finally, there are two new colors, Dust and Loch.
