As suspension designs have gotten dramatically better over the past few years, we’ve seen bike engineers get a little travel-happy, applying these new designs to ever-longer-legged bikes, and we’re now at a point where 7-inch bikes pedal better than XC bikes did before the last election. Yeti, while no stranger to long-travel bikes, has always believed in the five-inch bike. From the venerable 575, to the ASR5, and now the SB5C, Yeti’s shown that you don’t need more than about five and a half inches to have a real good time in the notoriously unforgiving mountains of Colorado.
The first thing you’ll notice about the SB5C is its unconventional pivots, and the tiny bit of Kashima-coated, Fox-branded bits at the bottom. Don’t let the color and Fox brand fool you, though, these little stanchions aren’t shocks. Rather, they’re much more closely related to the rail system used in Yeti’s downhill bikes, most recently the 303. They’re there to provide a linear spring rate, which, among other things, minimizes the felt impact of big bumps when you’re deep in the travel. These extra stanchions and pivots may look complex and difficult to maintain, but Yeti’s added grease ports to ensure that you can take care of your bike in an afternoon at home, and not have to worry about being without it for too long.
