2023 Yeti SB120 T3 X01 AXS

The 2023 Yeti SB120 T3 X01 AXS is built around a Turq series carbon frame that balances lightweight design with solid strength and responsiveness. This frame feels lively on the trail, without sacrificing the stiffness you'd want for powerful pedaling. It reacts well to your input, making every ride feel engaging.

Shifting gears happens through the SRAM XX1 Eagle AXS wireless derailleur. Instead of cables, this high-tech setup uses a button for smooth, quick, and precise gear changes. That clean cockpit means fewer things to fuss with while you're riding, so your focus stays on the trail ahead.

The drivetrain includes a SRAM X01 Eagle cassette with a wide 10-52 tooth range. This setup makes climbing steep hills easier, and lets you blast downhill without feeling limited. The shifting stays smooth and dependable throughout.

Power comes from the SRAM X1 Eagle 30T carbon crankset with 170mm arms. It efficiently transfers energy to the wheels, thanks to its stiff but lightweight carbon design. This crankset helps you pull through tough climbs and accelerate quickly when the trail opens up.

Stopping confidently is crucial. The SRAM G2 RSC hydraulic disc brakes deliver just that. They offer solid stopping power and fine control, so you can modulate your speed with precision, even on steep or technical sections.

Up front, you get a Fox Factory 34 Fit4 fork with 130mm of travel. This fork provides a plush yet controlled ride and offers plenty of tuning options to match your riding style and the terrain. It smooths out rocks and roots while keeping the bike stable.

At the rear, a Fox Factory Float shock works with 120mm of travel to keep your ride balanced. Responsive and steady, it improves traction and helps you maintain composure on rough and technical terrain.

Adjust your saddle height on the fly with the Fox Performance Elite Transfer dropper post. A simple lever lets you drop your seat for descents, or raise it back up for climbing, giving you more control and comfort where you need it.

The Maxxis tires are thoughtfully chosen. Up front, the Minion DHF 2.5 Exo grips tightly with its aggressive tread for cornering and braking. Out back, the Maxxis Aggressor 2.3 Exo balances good grip with low rolling resistance, helping you maintain speed without losing control.

Smooth steering comes courtesy of the Cane Creek 40 integrated headset, that reduces trail chatter, and keeps your hands comfortable. The SRAM Dub BSA 73 threaded bottom bracket adds stiffness and efficient power transfer from crank to wheel.

If you want to step things up, there's an optional upgrade to DT Swiss EXC 1501 Carbon wheels. These carbon rims offer lighter weight and additional stiffness for sharp acceleration and precise handling, letting you really push your limits.
