Yeti Cycles - 2022 SB130 C1

Features

• Long Reach: Puts riders in a balanced position perfectly centered on the bike, ready to tackle the unknown.
• 150MM Fork: Because Yeti's 130mm of rear suspension outperforms similarly stroked forks and pairs well with their more forward biased position.
• Front End Doesn't Wander Climbing: And stays composed when pointed downhill – the rider position remains neutral.
• Front Fork Travel: It never hurts to go bigger on your gear when you’re going bigger out there. Lunch Ride kits get a 160mm Grip 2 damper fork so riders can dial in their suspension and get the most performance out of their suspension and most of the terrain. 
• Rear Wheel Trabel: 7mm might be small to others, but to mountain bikers it’s the difference in “will you?” and “hell yes!” Pair this 7mm to the bigger front fork and the already capable SB130 starts to give its bigger sibling a run for the money.
• Degrees Slacker HTA: Lengthen the fork and you slacken the head angle by half a degree. What you get is a bike that exudes confidence no matter what you choose to descend so you can push longer, faster, and further into the unknown.
• Component Spec Changes: Wider bars, beefier tires, burlier wheels, and more powerful brakes. LR isn’t just a spec change. It’s a mindset shifter. Eight total spec differences make sure the Lunchride is ready for anything the trail throws at it. It’s up to any task. Are you?
• A Shock Tune Unique, to the SB130: Through a process of gathering qualitative data about “feel” from Yeti's athletes and validation through quantitative telemetry data, they were able to push the performance of the SB130. They developed the tune to enhance its mid-stoke and bottom-out control while maintaining ascending efficiency. While the tune is exclusive, the Fox shock it’s built from is not, making replacement parts readily available, or further personalization accessible.
• Leverage Rate: The patented Switch Infinity has been laid out to have supple small bump compliance but ramp up quicker in the mid-stroke while still allowing for bottom-out control with a 12% progressive leverage ratio. A straighter, more linear progression curve means it’s easier to tune shocks to pair with the suspension kinematics, and we don't have to rely on damping circuits to compensate. Being able to manipulate the leverage rate without affecting the anti-squat characteristics is unique to our patented Switch Infinity suspension. What does this mean with 6k of vert behind you on the day? You’ll have more left in the tank to grab another 6k of vert, up or down. That’s the SB130’s best trait.
• Anti-Squat: Across Yeti's line, they have chosen a relatively flat and high anti-squat curve in beginning and mid-section of travel where pedaling commonly occurs a.k.a the pedaling zone. This creates an efficient pedaling platform through your entire pedaling zone, there is an inflection point where the Switch Infinity link moves down, dropping the anti-squat drastically. Riders are typically not pedaling in this zone, so chain forces have less of an effect on the suspension performance. Decoupling of the chain forces allows the suspension to work more efficiently to absorb impacts making the feel of a Yeti distinct.
