2023 Yeti SB160
Built from the legacy of the SB150.
MTB lovers, say hello to the 2023 Yeti SB160. It's pure race machinery in a fast and efficient package. Downhill tested and used by the Yeti Fox Factory team. Let's talk about the newest Yeti features included on this model. There's a more compact section of the frame in front of the bottom bracket, giving you more ground clearance for the rough trails.
Size-specific seat tube angles and chain stay lengths ensure every rider gets the same incredible performance. No matter their height. The seat tube itself is shorter so you can run a longer dropper post. T-series builds have a new Switch infinity system with improved seals, bearings, and hardware. Resulting in perfect alignment and the smoothest suspension movement.
The Enduro Max bearings are housed in the pivot linkages, which lessens your chances of damaging the frame when it's time for replacements. Yeti's two-piece wishbone shock extender ensures optimal clamping and shock compatibility. Plus easy shock removal for anyone who wants longer travel. There's also a threaded bottom bracket with a co-molded aluminum insert to ensure longevity and reliability.
You can run a mechanical drivetrain and dropper or a wireless setup, whatever your preference. SRAM's universal derailleur hanger, or UDH, pivots back and out of the way to protect your derailleur against chain jams. It's available at almost any bike shop, so it's very easy to replace. Finally, there are new Cobalt and Radium frame colors, in addition to the beloved Turquoise.
We can't forget about returning favorites. Like fully internal cable routing, boost spacing, and 29" wheels. Richie Rude will be riding the SB160 the 2023 Enduro World Series season. As if you needed another reason to buy it. It's the perfect bike for first-time cyclists. Or a great addition to your Yeti collection.
