Wagon wheels may offer some quick-spinning ground-covering abilities, but we think there are few things better than the nimble flick-ability of a 27. 5in steed, and we'd wager that the designers at Yeti agree with us. While Yeti may have taken a little hiatus from 27. 5 development when the 29er surge took off, it seems as though the brand was sitting back, quietly tinkering to find the perfect 27. 5in enduro geometry, which soars to the front of Yeti's Rip lineup with the new SB140 Turq T1 XT Mountain Bike.

While the 27. 5 wheels and peppy 140mm rear travel might have you thinking that this bike is all play, the long wheelbase and low bottom bracket height will tell you otherwise. It stays composed under pressure, and handles descents with confidence when other shorter bikes might waiver, without...
