Regardless of what your preferences are, that has to go to the top of the list based upon looks. If it got damaged whilst riding I don't know if I'd stop mourning.

Positively prehistoric without an idler / mullet.
Seriously though, what a great looking bike. I've always loved how these look but never ridden one.

But it does have a mullet option?
Looks great, good geo, low weight, prices lower than many - pretty good option.

I've been eyeing them off for a while now too. I like the customization they have with the My-O program, where you can change the colours and some of the hardware specs too.

Yep, you can get a mullet option...
I would like this frame style in the Occam trail bike along with the LOCKR storage.

Thanks for all the bananas
There's one at the LBS and it's rather lovely.

I forgot the frame storage. Yep mullet option box is ticked too.
The colour customisation is excellent. I've built one up many a time.

That is just lovely.
From the looks of the chart maybe the geometry arms race has cooled off a bit? Looks like incremental yet welcome advances rather than 30mm reach increases across every size and a 62 degree HA...
I had a Rallon, great trail bike but the linkage wasn't progressive enough. I contacted Orbea to ask if they were going to produce a different linkage to increase the progressiveness to which they replied a hard NO....two weeks later the fuckers released the more progressive linkage...that was a day after I had sold the frame
It is nice having the paint options though and the frame was well made and stiff.
The Yeti e bike is officially out. $20k Au.

So now the hard decision to make is whether to sell the sb150 and buy one of these or buy the road/gravel bike I've been thinking about for a year. Is there any reason to have both a a pedal and an electric enduro bike?
Kinda like the idea of getting more downs for slightly less effort ups. But if I give up the sb150 would I be losing bike or gaining more bike than I'm losing..

Got no friends, I was never credible, I'm married. So I would just be losing bike I guess. Still tempting.
I don’t get eBikes but have friends on them. Brother has e and a normal bike. When pressed for time will do an e ride or wants to do a big loop quick on the e and other rides normal bike. Still $20k is madness when you have other e’s that are very good for under $10k.

I'll bet the yet-e will be a full racing thoroughbred. But don't forget just how good the sb150 is. The 150 will give a far better experience on the downs compared to the e.
Revisit this idea in 30 years when you are approaching the age of e-quirement.

Seconded. If the SB150 is anything like the 130 it must be an insane bike. Keep it.
(plus there's new ones coming out next year so if you do have a new bike itch wait for those

Yeah that's a good point. 20k is steep. I'd probs be able to get 10 from my current bike so I'd still have to find another 10. Seems like a bad trade at this point.Seconded. If the SB150 is anything like the 130 it must be an insane bike. Keep it.
