hi welcome to singletrack worldcom I'm
0:03
Hannah and I'm here with Pete from solar
0:05
fish and he's gonna talk to it take us
0:07
through this new Yeti which is the
0:10
second Yeti we've had in a couple of
0:11
weeks this one is the SP 130 bit smaller
0:16
travel than the SP 150 we saw a couple
0:18
of weeks ago and probably better suited
0:20
to mortals like me that aren't EWS races
0:23
so to find out all the details and I
0:26
hand over to Pete thanks hi I'm Pete
0:29
from silver fish and it's kind of said
0:31
this is the new Yeti SB 130 you've
0:34
probably already guessed this is a
0:36
hundred and thirty milk following on
0:40
from the SB 150 we launched a couple of
0:41
weeks ago this is the new the new 29
0:44
with 130 millimeters of rear travel so
0:47
so I just talked me through through the
0:49
bike and some of the features starting
0:51
at the front this one features a hundred
0:53
fifty millimeter travel Fox factory 36
0:56
is a fit for version with a 44
0:59
millimeter shorter offset so same
1:01
shorter offset as you get on the the SP
1:04
150 coming up so this would take this
1:07
bike designed around anything from a 130
1:08
to 150 travel fork
1:12
coming up it's got a steeper head angle
1:14
within the the SP 150 this one features
1:16
a sixty five point five degree head
1:18
angle so still still pretty slack but
1:21
yes steeper than the only seen on yeah
1:24
the other point we launched so small
1:27
medium/large and XL frame sizes this is
1:30
a medium we see here and this has a
1:32
longer reach than we've seen on a lot of
1:35
yetis this one has a four sixty point
1:38
two millimeter reach for this size
1:40
that's the same as the SP 115 it is yes
1:43
yes Josh wise this bike is really really
1:46
similar
1:46
Barham a slight yard steeper head angle
1:49
this bait is pretty pretty similar and
1:51
obviously short traffic yep suspension
1:53
kinematics but it's it's sharing a lot
1:55
of the DNA so it's still a you know got
1:57
an enduro heart kind of thing even
1:58
though this one you know it will be
2:00
better maybe for a trail riding and for
2:02
a lot of the UK conditions slightly less
2:04
big stuff maybe some more big ups yeah I
2:06
mean yeah a bit more on a bit more maybe
2:08
on the ups and you know still great on
2:10
the downs but
2:11
the other one saying you know more your
2:12
kind of EWS and you know that one's
2:14
designed for Richie rude and you know
2:16
for the kind of big hitting kind of guys
2:18
whereas this is this would be perfect
2:19
whether you run an all-day epic or you
2:21
know shorter even to some of their
2:22
cross-country racing almost you know so
2:25
yeah a steeper seat angle again so it's
2:28
got the same 77 degrees C angles we've
2:31
seen on the SP 150 so that really helps
2:33
it you know helps you to climb you don't
2:35
have to be shifting your weight forward
2:36
onto the nose of the saddle all the time
2:38
new suspension layout this has got DB x2
2:41
rear shock it's a new linkage at the top
2:44
coming down to yetis patented switch
2:46
infinity link down the bottom here and
2:49
the beauty of the link is there they
2:51
change the suspension kinematics around
2:53
the kind of the travel of what the
2:55
bike's aimed at so as the axle moves
2:57
upwards this carriage you know slides on
3:00
the two shaft it's on and as it gets the
3:03
later into the stroke near the end that
3:06
carriage then moves back down again and
3:07
that gives it a really good like endless
3:09
not bottomless feel to the suspension
3:11
but as it's moving at the beginning
3:12
great anti squat and great on the climbs
3:14
as I said so new frame on see the extra
3:18
length and the kind of adjustment on the
3:20
frame here they can fit a full bottle on
3:22
so you know you don't necessarily have
3:24
to take a pack you put bottle on stash
3:27
your tools and things framed protection
3:29
on the bottom here full internal cable
3:32
routing tube in tubes so nice and simple
3:34
to put all your cables through there's a
3:36
small window located on the bottom to
3:38
help you route the dropper as well
3:40
boost rear end chain today protection
3:43
here and on the seat stay there room for
3:46
a large tile on the rear as well so you
3:47
know you can if you're going to be doing
3:49
aggressive a bit more hardcore riding
3:51
then you can put a larger tile and if
3:53
you want it as well yeah up to 2.5 up to
3:56
about 2.5 depending on manufacturer
3:58
yeah but yeah so yeah that should be
4:00
quite yeah quite good okay and then this
4:03
one that we have here is the the
4:05
