The new Mixed wheels SB165, proven worthy time and again at Rampage, reconfigured to fit the bill as a zero-hesitation go-to whatever your pleasure.
KEY FEATURES:
SWITCH INFINITY. RECALCULATED.
Discover the next-generation of translating pivot suspension designs. Setting new expectations for kinematics, longevity, sensitivity, and strength.
CUSTOM COIL KINEMATICS.
Progressive suspension kinematics tuned specifically for a coil shock give incredible small bump sensitivity and proper bottom out support. Team input and race intelligence leveraged for a shock tune that maximizes Switch Infinity and remains active, lively, and ready for the inevitable “oh shit” hits.
HELLO NEW SCHOOL.
A refined main frame and swingarm silhouette that does more than just look sweet. It packages Switch Infinity and its linkage in a tighter, more efficient space, for added impact and ground clearance, along with increased holistic chassis stiffness.
CONSISTENCY, NO MATTER THE SIZE.
To give each size of the SB165 the same torsional stiffness, each frame has its own carbon layup. This is extra important for the SB165, due to the kind of aggressive riding it will encounter. We simply can’t afford to let flex affect suspension components with binding, premature wear, or small bump sensitivity reduction. And it’s vital to give every rider the same frame feel, regardless of frame size.
SPEED METAL.
What good are proprietary bearings (AKA “impossible to find”) when it comes time to replace? Our designs use standard-sized bearings secured with precision-machined floating collet axles. Replacement is also made easier with all bearings pressed into the linkage assembly itself instead of the swingarm or front triangle.
