Frequently Asked Questions

2022 Yeti SB165

  • What's the difference between TURQ and Carbon Series SB165?

    TURQ Series bikes have the highest quality carbon fiber available to optimize their weight, stiffness and durability. Carbon Series bikes have a modified carbon fiber layup. So they have the same stiffness and durability, but they weigh more.

  • What's Switch Infinity technology?

    The suspension has a patented translating pivot that switches directions as the bike moves through its travel. This provides anti-squat characteristics for superior pedaling performance. It also maintains re responsive suspension characteristics throughout the travel.

    180mm fork. You can run a 200mm fork. It will slacken the head and seat tube angles and raise the bottom bracket. You can also run a shorter fork. It will steepen the head and seat tube angles and lower the bottom bracket. That will slacken the head and seat tube angles and raise the bottom bracket. You can also shorten it. That will steepen the dead and seat tube angles and lower the bottom bracket.

  • What's the maximum tire size for this bike?

    Up to 2.6". It has great tire clearance but sizes vary by manufacturers, so there's no number that works for all brands.

  • Can I use plus size tires?
