Details
Master of the gnarniverse. Bold claim for some. Fact-checked humility for the SB165. At home outside the tape, beyond the norm. Taken on the trails nobody talks about. Trusted on the lines where mistakes can't happen. Comfortable with all the chaos. Pleased when you're puckered. Fearless of your fear.
The SB165 takes our forward bias posture and approach to geometry and unlocks new-school advantages, tweaked to being out the absolute best in 27.5” wheels. Yes, the steeper seat tube angle and shorter fork offset paired with Switch Infinity’s pedal ability offers a refreshingly easy climb. Yes, the slacker head tube angle, longer reach and lower bottom bracket are strikingly similar to that of a DH bike. Yes, the “little wheels” are capable of the hell you can handle. Just ask Reed.
