The Yeti SB140 27.5 LR is for the rider who wants to have the most fun possible on any trail terrain. This bike is ready to propel you into weightlessness on rowdy jumps or bounce around technical terrain. It is simply one of the most fun machines you will ever take on the trail. 27.5-inch wheels create a nimble and agile feel. Full of details that lead to a fun riding experience, the technology incorporated into the SB140 is felt every time riders hit the trail. A shuttle pad is included to assure scratches and damage are not an issue on the drive to the trail. With a durable build and adventure ready frame, the Yeti SB140 is made to hit transitions and conquer hidden lines.
The frame of the Yeti SB140 is made with their C-Series carbon fiber. Yetis C-Series carbon fiber comes in at a lower price than their TURQ carbon, maintaining the same level of stiffness and strength while only adding a bit of weight. The low weight carbon makes the bike easy to control while bouncing around on uneven and technical terrain. Having such a stiff and lightweight carbon layup results in faster pedaling and a livelier and more fun ride. The LR version also features a wider handlebar for better control. The build of the Yeti SB140 frame keeps riders feeling fast, efficient, and in control of every line, jump and transition.
A specialized geometry helps the Yeti SB140 cement its place as one of the more versatile bikes to grace the trail. The new school geometry makes this bike feel like an extension of the rider. The headtube is angled to suit a rider who wants more control and freestyle ability. It is slacker on the LR than the standard version, adding confidence to your descents. This type of confidence is needed when attacking daring jumps or obscure trails. It is optimized to fit its 27.5 DT Swiss E1900 wheels. Every angle of the SB140 is designed to bring out your rowdiest performance.
The SB140 also provides 140mm of rear travel with its Fox Factory Float X Shock and 160mm of front travel with a Fox Factory 36 Grip2 fork. The suspension is centered around Yetis Switch Infinity technology which utilizes a patented pivot that switches direction as the bike progresses through its travel. This creates an anti-squat curve while allowing the leverage ratio to be tuned independently. This leads to a bottomless feeling shock and outstanding pedaling performance. Topped off with a Shimano SLX mechanical groupset for affordable 12-speed shifting, the Yeti SB140 gives riders everything they need to attack the most fun terrain available..
