Long travel 29ers have become increasingly more common as riders tap into the benefits of the larger wheel size, along with bike companies creating geometry that works well for trail, all-mountain, and enduro disciplines. The wagon wheels roll faster and preserve more of your momentum, helping you maintain speed and float over obstacles that cause smaller wheels to get hung up. With balanced geometry and a good suspension platform, these long-travel big-wheeled bikes corner with precision and climb with the best of them.

It's already been proven at the elite level, capturing multiple EWS podiums at the hands of Richie Rude on high speed courses with long, pedally transfer stages. If you're looking for a capable all mountain bike that carries speed everywhere, with plush suspension that gobbles up the roughest lines, all while remaining efficient enough to be pedaled all day in the backcountry, look no further than the SB5. 5 T-Series GX Eagle Complete Mountain Bike.The heart of this bike is Yeti's Switch Infinity suspension, which is among the best we've ridden.

Paired with a 160mm Fox fork up front, the SB5. 5 is unstoppable when gravity takes over and the trail points down.Climbing abilities are equally as important, and Switch Infinity doesn't disappoint. The beauty of this design is the translating main pivot, aka the Switch Infinity Link. The link moves upward in the beginning of its travel, creating ideal anti-squat characteristics for efficient pedaling that minimizes energy lost to the suspension...
