Yeti SB 165 - 2021, Large

The 2021 Yeti SB165 is the ultimate gravity-fed "shred sled," engineered to dominate the steepest, chunkiest lines and the biggest hits in the bike park. Built around a 27.5-inch wheel platform for maximum flickability, this size Large carbon beast features a massive 180mm FOX Float 38 Performance fork and 165mm of rear travel controlled by the high-performance FOX DHX2 Performance Elite coil shock. Powered by Yeti’s proprietary Switch Infinity suspension system, this 31 lb rig climbs with surprising efficiency for an enduro-freeride hybrid. With roughly 500 miles of use, it’s in great shape, professionally tuned, and 100% ready to send.

Why We Love It

 * Switch Infinity Magic: Yeti's translating pivot allows for a "bottomless" feel on big drops while providing a firm pedaling platform, making the SB165 one of the few long-travel bikes that doesn't feel like a chore on the uphills.

 * Coil-Sprung Confidence: The FOX DHX2 coil shock provides unrivaled small-bump sensitivity and mid-stroke support, keeping the rear tire glued to the ground for maximum traction in loose, technical terrain.

 * The 27.5 Advantage: While many modern bikes have moved to 29ers, the SB165 sticks to 27.5-inch wheels to offer a more playful, agile ride—perfect for throwing whips, manualing out of corners, and navigating tight switchbacks.

 * Enduro-Ready Braking: Equipped with Shimano SLX 4-piston hydraulic brakes, this build offers the heavy-duty stopping power and thermal management required for long, sustained descents.
