BEGGING FOR YOUR INPUT, CHOMPING TO RESPOND. FLICK IT, PEDAL IT, PUMP IT TO THE MOON. A STOKE-MAKING MUTATION OF FUN-FOCUSED DNA, BLINDING PROOF THAT LESS CAN BE A WHOLE LOT MORE. COME OUT TO PLAY. YOU BET YOUR ASS THE SB135 IS STILL DOWN.
There’s main lines and race lines. And then there’s the completely unexpected lines that requires a rider with a different headspace all together. Riders looking to find the fun love the SB135 for its quick-witted playfulness, agility and its ability to unlock creativity.
Discover the next-generation of translating pivot suspension designs. Setting new expectations for kinematics, longevity, sensitivity, and strength.
Whether you need more room to make shapes or simply want more distance between the bike and yourself, the SB135 has an ultra-low slung top tube. But we didn’t stop there. To make the best fitting bike for smaller riders, we designed an entirely different frame for the small and extra small sizes. Focused on minimizing stand-over height, maximizing seat postinsertion, and preserving space for a water bottle, we moved the forward shock mount to the downtube, designed an even more compact shock linkage, and made a completely different swing arm, all unique to these two sizes. With the ability to fit riders down to at least 4’11”, the small and extra small SB135s are truly their own engineering feats within the SB135 project.
The wishbone shock extender makes low slung top tubes even lower, allows us to tune the leverage ratio while maintaining kinematics, and makes shock removal a cinch. It’s driven by an all-new link that nests inside the mainframe, for a stiffer pivot – and a cleaner look.
Gone are the days of pivot bearing on carbon contact. Our new pivot design secures 100% standard-sized cartridge bearings in the frame linkages, attached with precision-machined Floating Collet Axles – boosting longevity and reducing tolerance gaps to virtually zero.
If you’re the type of rider that forgets the last time you changed your bearings, chances are they’re still running smooth.
Making turns go boom isn’t fun with your heels dragging in the dirt. But the inconvenient truth is, progressive curves don’t always help maintain composure. A straighter, more linear progression curve means it's easier to tune shocks to pair with suspension kinematics. So we chose a leverage ratio that provides small bump sensitivity and the right amount of progression to maintain mid-stroke support and bottom out control, without making it impossible to reach full travel.
Over the course of hundreds of virtual simulation comparisons and back-to-back carbon prototype testing, we’ve refined our carbon layups to deliver consistent torsional stiffness and flex profiles across all frame sizes. The feel is precise yet compliant while structurally balancing light weight and durability.
