Our Verdict: Rated 4.6/5
Yeti SB160 T-Series T1 from Yeti Cycles is a enduro mountain bike built around a TURQ Series Carbon frame. Entry-level SB160 with the same Switch Infinity frame. Key strengths are Switch Infinity, TURQ carbon frame and strong chassis.
Specification summary: Fox 38 Performance 170mm / Fox Float X2 Performance 160mm suspension, 29-inch wheels, SRAM GX Eagle 12-Speed, SRAM Code R 4-Piston brakes, weight 15.6 kg, price £5,452. At £5,452 it is in line with the typical bike price in the database, and at 15.6 kg it is about 5 percent above the typical bike weight in the database. Enduro bikes accept a little extra climbing weight in exchange for slacker geometry, longer travel and sturdier components that stay composed on steep, rough descents.
Carbon frames offer a favourable stiffness-to-weight balance and can be tuned for compliance, though impact damage can be costly to repair. The 29-inch wheels roll over obstacles efficiently and carry momentum on rough ground. The mechanical 12-speed drivetrain offers simple, serviceable shifting with a wide gear range. Four-piston brakes provide stronger, more consistent stopping power for long descents.
Verdict: Yeti SB160 T-Series T1 scores strongly in this database with a 4.6 rating. It suits riders wanting Yeti handling at a lower price. Main caveat: heavier than T3 builds.
How We Rate
How we rate
Every rating on Gear Matrix is published alongside the information it is based on, so you can judge the score for yourself rather than take it on trust.
Gear Matrix ratings are editorial assessments built from published manufacturer specifications and comparative specification data. They are not presented as the result of physical product testing. Where an article is based on a first look, a launch announcement or a press release, the article says so.
Weight-to-power on e-MTBs
Where a weight-to-power ratio is shown it is calculated from two manufacturer-declared figures: the bike’s weight in kilograms and the motor’s declared output. Both inputs are required before any ratio is displayed. We never estimate a missing value, and we never infer a figure from a different model in the range.
The full breakdown of rating criteria is being prepared and will be published on this page.
