Expirience with the Yeti SB 135 T2

Ludwig Döhl Bikes with 27.5-inch wheels have become rare. At least in the high-end segment, most of the SB 135 T2'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 T2. 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. When it comes down to handling, Yeti does not compromise. With its balanced handling style, the Yeti SB 135 T2 is ready for the majority of singletrails. The seating position is sporty. If a high-quality shifting system is particularly important to you, you probably will not be happy with the Yeti. Nevertheless, before making a purchase decision, you should not forget: for 8000 Euro Yeti delivers an extremely good suspension. The guarantee of 5 years proves that Yeti puts a lot of trust in its products.
