The provided document is an owner's manual for the Yeti SB165 bicycle, specifically focusing on the frame and its assembly, maintenance, and features.
The Yeti SB165 is a high-performance mountain bike frame designed for off-road use, delivering 165mm of rear travel. It incorporates Yeti's patented Switch Infinity technology, which is a suspension system engineered to provide efficient pedaling performance while remaining smooth and supportive over rough terrain. This system utilizes a translating pivot that automatically changes direction as the bike moves through its travel, optimizing anti-squat characteristics for pedaling efficiency and suspension performance deeper into the travel. The Switch Infinity mechanism features external grease ports for lubrication of its bushings and seals, with a recommended lubrication interval of 40 hours of riding. Regular cleaning of excess dust and dirt is also advised.
The frame is constructed from high modulus carbon fiber, available in TURQ Series (highest quality, best-performing carbon) and Carbon Series (aggressively priced with maintained strength and stiffness). Both series feature a main frame and swing arm designed for stiffness and efficiency.
Key usage features of the SB165 frame include:
Maintenance features and recommendations are detailed throughout the manual:
Yeti emphasizes that service and repairs should be performed by an authorized Yeti Dealer due to the specialized knowledge and tools required. The manual also contains "Warnings" and "Cautions" to highlight potentially hazardous situations and prevent serious injury or damage. The SB165 is specifically made for off-road use only.
