3 SB165 Brand: Yeti Cycles
Distributor: Silverfish UK
The latest update to the SB165 sees a mixed wheel setup and improved frame features – as seen in the updates to the SB120, 140 and 160. The SB165 continues to deliver the most progressive rate in the Yeti Cycles line-up at 22%. A patented, two-piece shock wishbone optimises the leverage rate while moving the shock forward in the

frame. This positioning allows for a greater range of shock compatibility, decreases stand-over height, reduces shock tab sizes, increases water bottle compatibility, and boosts down tube clearance. T-series builds will be equipped with Yeti’s latest Switch Infinity system with improved seals, bearings and hardware, all an integral part of the next generation of translating pivot suspension designs. RRP: From £5,999
4 Dune Brand: Mondraker Distributor: Mondraker
Mondraker has unveiled an e-MTB Dune, 15 years after the launch of the original pedal-powered model. Taking after the Neat in some key aspects such as
lightness and agility, it takes a different path by offering power and performance similar to longer travel, burlier bikes like the Superfoxy and Level. The foundation of the Dune is a Stealth Air Carbon frame weighing in at a claimed 2.650 grams, combined with
the power and light weight of Bosch’s latest offering, the Performance SX. The frame showcases Mondraker’s updated Zero Suspension and offers 165mm of rear-wheel travel and specifically tuned forward geometry. The Dune range offers up three different builds, all of which have the same 165mm travel, Stealth Air Carbon frame with mixed wheels. Both the Dune R and RR come with 170mm forks, while the Dune XR comes fitted with a 180mm fork. RRP: Dune R – £6,799 Dune RR – £8,499 Dune XR – £11,999
