Yeti Cycles SB130 Turq T3 XX1 Eagle AXS Carbon Wheel Mountain Bike

You can pinch yourself, it's okay. We know, Yeti's SB130 Turq T3 XX1 Eagle AXS Carbon Wheel Mountain Bike hits right in the wheelhouse of dream bike, but we can assure you that this dream-worthy steed is indeed a reality. It took Yeti's teams of engineers some tinkering, but the SB130 manages to tick the boxes for all-mountain cruising, packing in Yeti's newest iteration of Turq carbon fiber, which has been refined for 2020 to improve both strength and stiffness while you ride, and is partnered up with some of the industry's finest components available.

Different geometries, wheel sizes, and updated suspension designs create options for every kind of rider imaginable, and the SB130 takes the cake for those looking for a do-it-all 29er.
