THE LOWDOWN ON THE 

SB5+ AND ITS FEATURES.

1.

The SB5+ delivers 5 inches (127mm) of travel with our patented  
Switch Infinity Technology. Efficient pedaling performance while still 
smooth and continuous when the going gets rough.

2.

High modulus carbon provides a stiff, strong and light weight 
chassis.

3.

The SB5+ is designed to accommodate up to a 3.0” tire.  The 
common “plus” tire sizes are 2.8” and 3.0.”

4.

The SB5+ uses elevated chainstays to accommodate up a 3.0” tire 
and maintain clearance for the drivetrain without compromising 
performance.

5.

Colleted pivot axles help create a stiff interface between the 
front and rear triangles of the frame. Custom Enduro Max sealed 
bearings keep things moving freely at the pivots.

6.

ISCG 05 chain guide mounts are included on the SB5+ if case you 
want to go for some extra drivetrain security in the rowdy sections.

7.

Using our inset (44mm x 56mm) head tube on the SB5+ allows for 
a larger head tube with more area, increased stiffness, and lower 
overall ride height without compromising any performance. 

8.

Custom guards on the seat stay, chain stay and down tube keep 
things quiet while riding and protect the frame.

9.

The SB5+ features internal routing for all cables, making the bike 
quiet and clean looking as well as reducing cable rub on the paint.

10. Dedicated 12 x 148 Boost dropouts and integrated hanger with 

axle threads for strength, stiffness, ease of hanger and wheel 
installation.

11. The SB5+ uses a 2.0 inch stroke, 7.875 inch eye to eye Float EVOL 

shock, by Fox Racing Shox.
