Forget the 29er's of the past. The 2017 Yeti SB4.5 TURQ XX1 Eagle frame is designed specifically to optimize the 29" wheel platform and has a distinctly different personality. Riders will feel perfectly balanced between the wheels instead feeling top heavy or awkward. The proficient Switch Infinity suspension platform and short chainstays make this bike feel effortless on climbs and lively and plush on descents. For a bike that so clearly excels at climbing, the 2017 Yeti SB4.5 TURQ XX1 Eagle is incredibly balanced because of its long top tube and slack 67.4-degree head angle. Coupled with a optimal chainstay length and Switch Infinity suspension the 2017 Yeti SB4.5 TURQ XX1 Eagle feels more capable that a traditional 4.5" travel bike. Turq Series bikes are made with the highest quality carbon fiber available and offer the perfect balance of stiffness and compliance. The result is a bike that feels smooth, solid and aggressive. Every bike is tested by the best racers in the world, including EWS World Champion Richie Rude, our in-house testing team and ambassadors around the world.
