CAN IT SHRED??? Yeti SB100 vs. Outdoor Gold Enduro // Test Ride and Bike Review

Описание: The Yeti SB100 review and test ride. The SB100 made waves with its release in the summer of 2018 of a modern XC/Trail bike that can bring the new design to shredding the gnar. With 120mm of fork travel and 100mm of rear, the Yeti SB100 is more than adequate to handle a very long list of whatever you have to throw at it. In this video, we will test ride and review the Yeti SB100 through the vaunted Outdoor Gold Enduro.

I have been equally excited to ride the SB100 vs. the Outdoor Gold Enduro, especially considering the 100 epidomizes how for suspension and engineering have come. Sometimes less can be more when you are looking at a bike. My focus is on an independent review of the SB100. I handpicked some of my favorite local trails for a three ride blitz in what’s called The Outdoor Gold Enduro. The OGE consists of 6 trails in which I get to handpick 3 specific to the bike. This test has everything, from fast flowy trails, to very techy climbs, slow speed and fast speed descent. Rides intended to match your local trails.

Stage I: 18 Road (Fast and Flowy) PBR and Joe’s Ridge is what I serve up for the SB100 in a test of beginner and intermediate terrain. Downhill pedaling is a criteria here and the SB100 really exceeds at that. Solid pedaling platform with the extremely lightweight setup. The downhill vibes are adequite on this bike but the cornering is very sharp and lively. In general, a lightweight, but very playful and fun bike on easy terrain that transitions super fast. I found it difficult to be in the wrong gear.

Stage II: Moore Fun (Technical Trail) Moore Fun is the most technical trail in Fruita with monstrous climbs and wicked slow speed downhills. I expected this bike’s strength was in climb technical singletrack and it did exceptionally well. The SB100 was the best climbing bike I’ve ever ridden. The seattube angle puts the rider in the right climbing position and that noticeable. The downhill was excellent as well, again the headtube angle was on par for the steep stuff. This was a very easy bike to control and it handled tight corners, switchbacks, and rock slabs very well. Everything about this ride is quick to respond.

Stage III: Horsethief Bench Trail. I nixed Free Lunch for to eliminate risk on a bike that wasn’t mine so the goal was to review some medium sized hits. I found these drops to be fairly harsh, however I adjusted by running the fork in the Mid compression setting so I didn’t blow through all my travel. Though a bit rough, what would you expect, it was fine. I had to change my style to riding fork heavy not to bottom out on the rear. Either way, with familiarity and a high skill set, this bike can handle the drops and the downhill well, it just wants premium lines so your riding style must adapt.

Skinny review: I overall was really impressed with the SB100 post ride. As a general overview, I think this bike is very complex, but in a good way. With a niche in XC and Trail, the 100 excels amazingly at both. However, thanks to suspension technology and the overall design, if you know what you are doing anything is possible with this bike. The key points are this bike climbs ridiculously well thanks to the seat tube angle and lightweight. I’m not sure its possible to be in the wrong gear. In the downhill, the bike was more than adequate. I enjoyed how flickable and playful the SB100 is. In fact, it made work of Moore Fun, the ultimate test of how a bike rides. This is a good bike for casual, but expert mountain bikers will very much enjoy the SB100.
