On those rare occasions we find ourselves at the legendary Yeti lunch rides, we notice the employees getting rowdier on a trail bike than we do on our enduros. Enter the Yeti SB130 Turq TLR XT Mountain Bike, this lunch ride edition gets more aggressive rubber and bigger suspension for the big hits and fun riding that this trail bike is really capable of. Though this year of the SB130 doesn't see new geometry figures or crazy components, the bike remains as capable as ever and begs for harsh and technical riding. With 130mm of rearward travel and 160mm of front travel, quick lunch rides just got a lot more fun. Geometry on the new SB130 doesn't see any major updates, but the lunch ride models get a bigger fork to slack our rigs out. With 29in wheels and a 65. 1-degree head-tube angle, we don't fret about rolling over big features. With a bigger fork comes a slacker seat-tube angle, but a quick wrench hand gets the saddle back in an aggressive position for big uphill rides. Helping out on the descents is the 1234mm wheelbase on a size large and this provides a number that just a few years ago we would've seen on downhill bikes. With all these numbers in focus, it becomes obvious why we're taking this trail crusher to dabble in the enduro scene. We can't go this far without mentioning Yeti's new-school and ultra-modern Switch Infinity linkage system. This system is purpose-built by Yeti to soak up pedal bob and allow for near bottomless suspension when the going gets rough. Kit on the T1 starts with the frame, and Yeti's T1 top-of-the-line Turq mold gets top marks all around. The T1 carbon is built stiffer and lighter to promote a premium ride feel for decades to come, as the bike employs a no-frills lifetime warranty to our delight. Rear suspension sees a change of pace as the SB130 is supported by the new Fox Float X, a smaller-sized shock that delivers downhill capability. We're the kind of riders to set and forget, so 150mm of suspension supported by a Fit4 d...
