CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR
PURCHASE OF A NEW YETI.
WELCOME TO THE TRIBE.
We are condent your new bicycle will exceed
your expectations for value, performance, and
ride quality. Each frameset and component
has been custom specied and designed to
enhance your riding experience. Whether you
are a beginner cyclist, or a seasoned pro,
your Yeti bicycle will provide endless hours of
two-wheeled fun.
This model specic manual is designed to
be used in conjunction with the general Yeti
Owner’s Manual and the manuals supplied by
the suspension manufacturers. If you did not
receive the Yeti owner’s manual or the manual
provided by the suspension manufacturer,
download the materials o the Internet, or
contact your local dealer.
Bicycling can be a hazardous activity
even under the best of circumstances.
Proper maintenance of your bicycle is your
responsibility and when done properly helps
reduce the risk of injury and damage to your
bicycle.
This manual outlines basic setup and
maintenance recommendations of your new
Yeti. Because it is impossible to anticipate
every situation or condition that may occur
during the assembly, setup, and maintenance
of your bicycle, Yeti recommends that all
service and repairs be performed by your
local authorized Yeti Dealer.
This manual contains many “Warnings” and
“Cautions” concerning the consequences
of failure to maintain or inspect your bicycle.
The word “Warning” indicates a potentially
hazardous situation in which , if not avoided,
could result in serious injury or death. The
word “Caution” indicates a potentially
hazardous situation in which, if not avoided
may result in minor injuries or damage to
your bicycle or a component of your bicycle.
Be sure to read and understand all of the
Warnings and Cautions listed in the manual.
Warning: Make sure you review and understand the warnings, instructions, and content of this manual and accompanying
manuals for your bicycle.
Warning: Technological advances have made bicycles and bicycle components more complex and the pace of innovation is
increasing. It is impossible for this manual or the accompanying manuals to provide all the information required to properly
repair and/or maintain your bicycle. In order to help minimize the chances of an injury, it is critical for you to have work
performed by an authorized Yeti retailer.

1. The SB100 delivers 100mm of travel with our patented Switch
Infinity Technology that has been redesigned for this short travel
frame. Efficient pedaling performance while still smooth and
continuous when the going gets rough.
2. Top of the top Turq Series frames and our Carbon series both offer
the same geometry and efficiency in all models.
3. The SB100 does away with the front derailleur mount, making it a 1x
drive specific frame. This increases stiffness in the frame, making
the SB100 one of the stiffest bikes in our lineup.
4. 2 bolt ISCG 05 chain guide mounts are included on the SB100 in
case you want to go for some extra drivetrain security for the rowdy
sections.
5. The SB100 uses an integrated 41mm / 52mm tapered headset. This
system allows for the headset bearings to be contained inside the
head tube for an overall lower ride height, more simplified
installation, and increased stiffness.
6. The SB100 uses a 37.5mm stroke, 190mm eye to eye Float DPS
shock, by Fox Racing Shox.
7. Custom guards on the seat stay, chain stay and down tube keep
things quiet while riding and protect the frame.
8. The SB100 features internally molded routing tubes for all cables,
making the bike quiet and clean looking as well as reducing
maintenance and cable rub.
9. Dedicated 12 x 148 Boost dropouts and integrated hanger with axle
threads for strength, stiffness, ease of hanger and wheel installation.

the swing arm. Thread the hanger cap into the
hanger. The hanger cap REVERSE threads into
the hanger from the outside of the swing arm.
Start threading the cap by hand.
03. TIGHTENING
Using a 6mm allen key, tighten the hanger cap
into the hanger. REMEMBER, it is REVERSE
THREADED. Follow the “Tighten” arrow on the
cap. Finish tightening with a torque wrench if
available.
*Torque to 80 in/lbs (9Nm)
NOTE: The hanger cap is REVERSE
THREADED. Be careful not to strip out the
Hanger tool faces. The cap is marked with a
tighten direction arrow.
Inspect the frame around the hanger seat
for any suspicious damage to the carbon
any time you replace a derailleur hanger,
especially if you are replacing the hanger due
to damage to the hanger.

HERE’S EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT OUR LIFETIME WARRANTY:
All 2019 (or newer) frames, including the Switch Infinity, are covered for life against damage
due to manufacturing defects for the original purchaser. Paint and finish are covered for 1-year.
We will repair or replace, at our discretion, any frame we deem defective. There are a few
conditions: you must register it online at YetiCycles.com and you must take it to an authorized
Yeti Cycles dealer for processing. Warranty does not cover damage due to ordinary wear and
tear, neglect or intentional destruction. From a slingshot or your truck.
If you happen to have a crash or non-warranty situation, we’ll get you back on the trail with a
reasonable replacement price. Same conditions as above.
Lifetime Warranty applies to all 2019 and newer frames (including the SB100). Model year 2018
and older frames will be covered under our previous warranty (5-year or 2-year based on time
of purchase).
Simple as that. No fine print.
DISCLAIMER
YETI Cycles is not responsible for any damages to you or others arising from riding,
transporting or other use of your bicycle. In the event that your frame breaks or malfunctions,
YETI Cycles shall have no liability or obligation beyond the repair or replacement of your frame
pursuant to the terms outlined in the warranty.
*If you have a warranty concern, please contact your authorized Yeti dealer.
