Yeti Cycles SB4.5 Carbon Eagle Complete Mountain Bike 2017

This year, Yeti Cycles joins the crowd of companies offering multiple frame tiers to open up a wider range of pricing for those of us who can't imagine dropping close to five figures on a bicycle. As such, the 2017 SB4. 5 Carbon Eagle Complete Mountain Bike benefits from trickle down technology to bring a fast, race ready frame with top tier components into slightly more attainable territory.

The Switch Infinity suspension is equally confidence inspiring, and its linear travel hits the sweet spot of anti squat to keep pedaling sharp across rocky climbs.
