Yeti SB5 Project
We were recently challenged by one of our clients to build a longer travel trail bike that combines the best balance of weight, ride-ability, and reliability. It needed have a dropper post, wide reliable tires, wide handlebar and generally be trail worthy for a lighter rider doing a fair mix of riding on different terrains.
