Yeti SB115 Prices:
The Yeti SB115 is designed to win the most challenging cross country races out there. We're seeing more full suspension bikes on the XC circuit every year, and if you take a look how courses have gotten much more technical, the added smoothness of rear travel makes a whole lot of sense.
A quick glance at the key features of the SB115 all add up to crazy fast, crazy efficient performance on the climbs, flats, and descents. Yeti's famous Switch Infinity suspension system has been updated to be lighter than ever on this model. The silky smooth 115mm of rear travel allows riders to leave hardtails in the dust when the course points downhill, and a flat and high anti-squat curve in the beginning of the travel keeps your pedal stroke super efficient when you need to put the hammer down.
What we really love about the SB115 is that besides being a XC race weapon, you can still have a blast on rowdy trails with it. It is a Yeti, after all, and the SB115 is super capable and fun when gravity takes hold. This bike is perfect for the XC racer who likes to get wild on their off days.

The Yeti ARC is back with a fresh take on what a hardtail mountain bike can do. It's perfect for rowdy singletrack, flowy pump tracks, and epic bikepacking adventures. Hardtails are incredibly responsive and fun, and the lack of rear suspension forces you to be extra intentional about your lines which in turn makes you a better rider.
Unless you're riding the hardest-hitting trails and enduro courses out there, there's almost nothing that the ARC can't handle. It's a super efficient climber with packed with the Yeti downhill chops you'd expect. The 130mm fork and 67 head tube angle keep you confident and in control at speed on fast, chunky descents.
The ARC responds to input faster than any full suspension bike can, giving it an agile, lively feel that's a blast to whip around.
There are plenty of hardtail converts that will tell you they won't go back to full squish any time soon, and once you throw a leg over the ARC and ride your favorite trails, you might just become one of them.
