Description
Whether we are crushing flowy singletrack or hitting the jump lines with the boys, the SB140 is the superbike we want to be on. We love the SB140 for its aggressive design, premium suspension platform, and 29-inch wheels. At the heart of all Yeti bikes is the Switch Infinity suspension platform, which utilizes a unique translating pivot design that moves up and down through the bike’s suspension travel to give us better small bump sensitivity, mid-stroke support, and bottom-out resistance. The Yeti SB140 features a slack 65-degree headtube angle to give us confidence as we slash down steep, technical descents. Size-specific seat tube angles ensure we all get an efficient pedaling position, and size-specific chainstays allow every rider to have a playful and poppy bike, no matter what frame size we are on.

The SB140’s progression curve was updated to a more linear 14 percent, giving us more small bump sensitivity and better mid-stroke support. The final third of its progression curve becomes more progressive as you move through the travel for more bottom-out resistance, meaning we can ride harder, be more comfortable and have more protection from bottoming out the shock on big hits. This version of the Yeti SB140 is the Lunch Ride version, featuring 10 millimeters more fork travel, a piggyback rear shock, knobbier tires, more powerful brakes, bigger rotors, and wider and higher-rise handlebars that all aid in more aggressive riding. The T3 TLR X0 Eagle Transmission AXS build of the Yeti SB140 features top-tier components and Yeti’s premium carbon frame. Yeti’s TURQ carbon frame utilizes the b…
