Yeti SB165 Fully Redesigned | NEW Enduro/Freeride Bike!

The new Yeti SB165 is a modern enduro bike that takes any preconceived notions that you might have about it and throws them right out the window. Yes, it’s got lots of travel, mixed wheels, and coil shocks on all builds that add up to an impressively capable descender. But it also has a lightweight feel on the trail and even climbs superbly well, much like the shorter-travel, 29in wheeled Yetis we know and love.

Gearhead Kendall tested the SB165 over a handful of days in Fruita, Colorado, riding the T3 X0 Transmission build in the chunky terrain it was intended for. The bike is certainly a capable descender, but it was definitely the climbing performance that blew us away. Follow along to see our first impressions, and our Gearheads misjudge the weight of this build.
