Yeti SB135 C1 Complete Mountain Bike 2024

Built for the active rider, the new Yeti SB135 C1 Complete Mountain Bike reacts to your inputs in a flash. It was also designed to be the best-fitting bike for all shapes and sizes, and features a unique frame for the XS and S sizes – Yeti moved the forward shock mount to the down tube, built a more compact shock linkage, and designed an entirely new swing arm to match. All of this translates to a supremely agile and playful bike that Yeti dubs the ‘dopamine machine’ – flick, pump, and drift your way down the trail, the SB135 is here for it. Whether you’re zig-zagging your local singletrack or on an all-day alpine adventure, the SB135 is the fun-bike for all.

C/Series Carbon Frame
–
Over the course of hundreds of virtual simulation comparisons and back-to-back carbon prototype testing, Yeti has refined their carbon layups to deliver consistent torsional stiffness and flex profiles across all frame sizes. The feel is precise yet compliant while structurally balancing light weight and durability.

Switch Infinity Suspension
–
The new line of Yeti Switch Infinity bikes builds on their award-winning performance with subtle refined leverage rates that have been adjusted for the added travel of each new bike. This balanced approach to leverage rate results in an incredibly predictable ride.

Fox Float Performance Rear Shock
–
A lightweight chassis, EVOL air spring, and dual piston damper with 3-position switch create a pedal-friendly shock that soaks up the bumps and delivers pedal power to the ground with utmost efficiency. This Performance series shock has fewer adjustments than Factory Series (no Open mode adjust tuning range), and has a black anodized air sleeve and body instead of Genuine Kashima Coat.

Shock Adjustments
–
Air Spring Pressure / Lever-Actuated Open, Medium, Closed Compression / Rebound

Better Shock Tuning
–
Yeti has been tuning shocks in-house to ensure their kinematics pair seamlessly with their shocks. Using data acquisition and their shock dyno they are able to correlate hours of ride testing, splitting hairs over tenths of millimeters, to deliver the most out of their suspensions. The final tune is the result of countless hours of ride and lab testing with multiple, ground-up shock tunes going into the decision.

Clearance for What Counts
–
Whether you need more room to make shapes or simply want more distance between the bike and yourself, the SB135 has an ultra-low slung top tube. To make the best fitting bike for smaller riders, Yeti designed an entirely different frame for the small and extra small sizes. Focused on minimizing stand-over height, maximizing seat post insertion, and preserving space for a water bottle, Yeti moved the forward shock mount to the downtube, designed an even more compact shock linkage, and made a completely different swing arm, all unique to these two sizes. With the ability to fit riders down to at least 4’11”, the small and extra small SB135s are truly their own engineering feats within the SB135 project.

Patented Compact Wishbone and Ultra Compact Suspension Link
–
The goal is simple: optimizing leverage rates while pushing the shock forward in the frame. This forward positioning allows for a large range of shock compatibility, decreases standover height, reduces shock tab sizes, increases water bottle compatibility, and increases downtube clearance.

Frame Protection
–
An external hard cap provides impact resistance over a rubber under-guard that provides cushion against the frame.

Full Drop
–
Yeti's seat tubes are shorter to allow for longer dropper posts.

Internal Cable Routing with Secure Frame Ports
–
This may seem like a small thing, but having a clean aesthetic on the frame along with internally molded carbon tubes inside for hassle-free cable routing is key. It makes for a quiet ride and ease of maintenance. For Yeti, building a great frame is all about the details.

New Pivot Designs
–
Yeti's new pivot designs use 100% standard sized cartridge bearings secured with precision — machined floating collet axles. All bearings are pressed into the linkage assembly vs. the swingarm or front triangle. The end result is perfect alignment and smooth suspension motion every time, boosting longevity.

Refined New School Geometry
–
From size-specific seat tube angles and chain stay lengths, to new reach numbers that keep both wheels weighted, Yeti's concentrated on making a more balanced ride. Yeti engineers and designers mined the depths of every millimeter to create a nuanced set of refinements that deliver another leap forward in how well a mountain bike can ride.

Universal Derailleur Hanger
–
If a hanger-bending crash occurs, the new Yeti models use the Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) interface — the industry standard mount for a rear derailleur. The UDH is available in nearly any bike shop, Yeti dealer or not.

Fork

Fox 36 Performance
–
The all-mountain champ and a favorite of hard-charging trail riders everywhere. For MY23 the Fox 36 receives an update in the form of a new crown with updated design and engineering for more steer tube overlap improving durability and maintaining stiffness while dropping 20 grams.

Fork Adjustments
–
Air Spring Pressure / Lever-Actuated Open, Medium, Firm Compression Positions / Low Speed Rebound (10 Clicks)

Drive Train

Shimano SLX
–
SLX is ready to go wherever and whenever you want, whether it’s an all-day epic, the local cross country race, or a post-work ride with your buddies. It won’t let you down.

Shimano Rotors
–
180mm Front / 180mm Rear

Brakes

Shimano SLX 4 Piston
–
The SLX M7120 caliper features consistent braking performance and reliable stopping power in all conditions. The 4-piston caliper instills greater downhill confidence and control, with an easy-to-maintain mineral oil system.

Wheelset

DT Swiss M1900 Spline
–
After a long climb, the perfect trail lies ahead of your tires: flowy, dusty, varied, endless. Nothing holds you back from entering the All Mountain thrills with the M 1900 SPLINE. A rim developed with optimal balance of durability and weight offers efficient climbing characteristics as well as dent resistance on single trails. Thanks to the new Ratchet LN system and experienced wheel building by hand, this wheel is a reliable partner to collect freewheeling moments in the mountains.

Maxxis Minion DHF Front Tire
–
With a tread design that deftly balances rolling speed with braking and cornering traction, it’s no wonder why the Minion DHF is one of the most imitated tires in mountain biking.

Maxxis Rekon Rear Tire
–
The Rekon is a light duty trail tire designed to go fast in technical terrain.
