Expirience with the Yeti SB 135 C1

Ludwig Döhl Bikes with 27.5-inch wheels have become rare. At least in the high-end segment, most of the SB 135 C1's competitors roll on larger 29er wheels. But the hype around the Yeti brand has always lived a bit on the courage to be different. This philosophy is in the latest offspring from Colorado not only in the choice of wheel size. Also in the rear end, as always, you go your own way. With the Switch Infinity Link, the Americans also pursue their independent approach to the rear triangle in the SB 135 C1. The advantage explained in one sentence: The main bearing mounted on sliders allows a particularly good linkage of the rear shock and an optimal wheel lift curve when compressing it. With its geometry, the Yeti Fully is right in the middle between playfulness and high speed stability. The combination of a long top tube and low stack value will make you sit sporty on the Yeti Fully. If you love flying down steep, rocky and loamy trails, the Yeti Fully doesn't really suit you. Other manufacturers build All Mountain in the same price range that are more focused on descends. The guarantee of 5 years proves that Yeti is behind its products.
