If you did not catch our exclusive interview with Jared Graves, it makes for essential reading, check it out here. When racers change bikes it is normally after extensive off-season testing, so it was very unusual to see Jared and Richie changing from the 26″ SB66 to the 27.5″ SB6c mid-season. It could have gone either way, but it was to be a fairytale start for Yeti, with both Jared and Richie cleaning up at Round five of the EWS at the Colorado Freeride Festival.
The new SB6c features Yeti’s new Switch Infinity technology, allowing Yeti to improve the anti-squat whilst also maintaining small bump sensitivity. It has been a project three years in the making and Jared was highly involved in the process, in fact his ideal geometry makes up the stock medium bike. We take a look at the bike that has taken him to Enduro World Series Championship glory.
