We are condent your new bicycle will exceed
your expectations for value, performance, and
ride quality. Each frameset and component
has been custom specied 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 specic manual is designed to
be used in conjunction with the general Yeti
Owner’s Manual and the manuals supplied by
the suspension manufactures. If you did not
receive the Yeti owner’s manual or the manual
provided by the suspension manufacturer
download the materials off 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 SB130 delivers 130 of travel with our patented Switch Infinity
Technology. Efficient pedaling performance while still smooth and
continuous when the going gets rough.
High modulus carbon provides a stiff, strong and light weight chassis.
3 Colleted pivot axles help create a stiff interface between the
front and rear triangles of the frame. Custom Enduro Max sealed
bearings keep things moving freely at the pivots.
4 The SB130 does away with the front derailleur mount, making it a 1x
drive specific frame. This increases stiffness in the frame, making the
SB130 one of the stiffest bikes in our lineup.
5 ISCG 05 chain guide mounts are included on the SB130 if case you
want to go for some extra drivetrain security in the rowdy sections.
6 Using our head tube on the SB130 allows for a larger head
tube with more area, increased stiffness, and lower overall ride height
without compromising any performance.
T SB130 10 55 DP shock, by Fox Racing
Shox.
8 Custom guards on the seat stay, chain stay and down tube keep
things quiet while riding and protect the frame.
9 The SB130 features internal routing for all cables, making the bike
quiet and clean looking as well as reducing cable rub on the paint.
10 Dedicated 12 x 148 Boost dropouts and integrated hanger with axle
threads for strength, stiffness, ease of hanger and wheel installation.

Following these guidelines will help maintain the performance of your bicycle and
prevent more serious problems from arising. It is important to remember that
service intervals can vary depending on climate, trail conditions and riding
frequency. If you are unsure about working on your own bicycle, contact your
authorized Yeti Dealer for more information on general bicycle maintenance.
Yeti strongly recommends using a torque wrench when assembling your frame. Torque
specifications for individual parts on the SB130 are listed below, as well as in the step by
step assembly instructions later in the manual. For general bicycle maintenance please
consult the torque specifications of the component you are adjusting.

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.
