SB150
Origin
Yeti launched the SB150 in 2018 as its dedicated 29" enduro race weapon, replacing the SB5.5 and marking a clean break from the organic shapes of earlier models with a long, slack, aggressive geometry. Built around Yeti's signature Switch Infinity translating-pivot link (the only suspension design of its kind), it paired 170 mm front / 150 mm rear travel with a frame tested to downhill standards. It quickly became the brand's EWS flagship, racking up more World Series stage wins than any other enduro bike of its era.

The verdict
- Exceptional high-speed stability and descending confidence — reviewers call it among the fastest enduro bikes for descending almost any trail
- Switch Infinity suspension gives a very comfortable, traction-rich rear end while still pedaling efficiently uphill
- Modern long/slack/steep-seat geometry that is EWS-proven (most EWS stage wins of its generation)
- Premium build kits (SRAM X01/Code RSC, FOX 36 GRIP2, Float X2) perform at an elite level
- Climbs well for a 150 mm enduro bike thanks to the 77° seat angle and anti-squat tuning
- Demands an active, aggressive riding style — not playful or forgiving for less committed riders
- Limited suspension reserves; can feel harsh under repeated big hits compared with plusher rivals
- Internally routed cables can rattle due to poor securing at frame entry/exit points
- Very expensive — flagship TURQ builds reach the top of the enduro price bracket
- Stock rear tire (Aggressor 2.3) and occasionally undersized rear rotor are common upgrade points
