The Yeti SB6 C is the mountain bike of Enduro World Series winner Jared Graves. In our test, the carbon enduro bike had to prove itself against the Devinci Spartan Carbon.

The Yeti SB6 C is more of a racetrack Porsche than a good-natured all-rounder. With its slack head angle and long chainstays, it is trimmed for maximum smoothness and wants to be ridden with a lot of physical effort. With its 156 millimetres of travel, the rear suspension is extremely efficient and powerful, but also significantly firmer than the Devinci on the downhill.
that of the Devinci. If you're looking for a playful, easy to swallow fun machine, you've come to the wrong place with this racer.
