Product Info
Master of the gnarniverse. Bold claim. The SB165 was created to get after whatever you're getting after. The slackest sled in our lineup, with kinematics tuned for a coil-shock, the SB165 is at home outside the tape and trusted on the lines where mistakes can't happen. The SB165 already has you covered. - We wanted the SB165 to rip and have a poppy, maneuverable feel on the trail, so we built it around the 27.5" wheel platform. - At the heart of the SB165 suspension design is our patented Switch Infinity suspension system. Switch Infinity utilizes a patented translating pivot that switches direction as the bike moves through its travel. - Tuned to rip on the gnarliest trails, built tough to handle tosses and nasty tech, with kinematics specific for a coil or high-volume air shock. - The SB165 is designed to handle the steeps, so we made it low, long, and slack. - Better decoupling of the chain forces allows the suspension to work more efficiently to absorb impacts. - Chain Guide-ready out of the box with ISCG 05 mounts. - Internally tunneled cable routing allows for clean lines and a quiet, rattle-free ride. - An integrated headset allows for a lower overall stack height and cleaner carbon layup. - Our linear system built by FOX is able to achieve infinite tunability and durability, which cannot be matched by traditional link designs. - The ability to manipulate the leverage ratio without affecting the anti-squat characteristics is unique to Switch Infinity suspension. - C-Series models feature small changes to the carbon fiber layup, enabling us to make a more aggressively priced carbon frame.
