Yeti SB100 T1

"Is the SB100 an XC bike that descends like a downhill rig or a trail bike that climbs like a hardtail? The answer is yes: It does not Ride like a traditional 100mm bike."

"There was a time, not that long ago, when you'd pick between either a cross-country bike or a downhill bike and that was mostly it. Nowadays, you could argue that there are at least four or five distinct categories, and then there are the bikes that blur the lines a bit. The SB100 is one of those niche bikes, but its capabilities are far from niche; it'll feel like an extremely capable cross-country bike to some, and an efficient, sharp-handling trail bike to others."

"The Yeti SB100 C is a great bike for those looking to have maximum fun on both the ups and the downs. For fast post-work laps on rugged trails one day and smashing out a 100 km loop the next, the Yeti SB100 C is amazingly versatile. Mixing a perfect blend of comfort and performance with a beautiful frame that deserves upgrades through its lifetime, the Yeti takes our Best Value award."
