The Yeti SB140 29 C1 is a mid-travel trail bike that strikes the perfect balance of all-mountain riding. It is a great climber but can tackle a descent with amazing speed and control. It is also ready to hit high speeds and roll over tough terrain with 29-inch wheels and is made for jumping. This version features a high-level build, including Crank Brothers Synthesis Enduro wheels. It is also equipped with an affordable Shimano SLX groupset for mountain-specific 12-speed shifting that is extremely efficient. Simply put, the Yeti SB140 29 is one of the most versatile machines to grace the trail.
The frame of the SB140 29 is made with 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 high quality carbon that remains stiff and light results in faster pedaling and a livelier and more fun ride. The build of the Yeti SB140 frame keeps riders feeling fast, efficient, and in control of every line, jump and transition.
To truly turn that carbon into a frame that can do it all, Yeti incorporated a specific geometry for each of their size options. This means that every rider has a bike that will feel custom made for their body. Chainstay length is increased with each size to help the rear center of the bike be proportionately correct for each size of rider. Seat tube angles are also different for each size. It has a forward geometry which helps riders with a racing posture keep their center of gravity as they push for speed. The reach is long enough for short stem lengths but is not overdone. A slightly higher stack makes climbs more comfortable and descents more capable.
Cementing its place as a true all-mountain machine, the Yeti SB140 has a unique suspension that is perfect for any type of ride you want to attack. This version is equipped with a Fox Factory Float DPS rear shock for 140mm of elite rear travel. It combines with an equally elite Fox Factory 36 FIT4 fork for 150mm of travel at the front. It is powered by Switch Infinity which provides the best riding experience paired with a standard shock. It changes directions as your bike progresses through its travel, creating a tailored anti-squat curve and a fine-tuned leverage ratio. A compact Wishbone Shock Extender optimizes leverage rate and pushes the shock forward in the frame to allow for a wider range of shock compatibility, easier service, and more clearance. The Yeti SB140 29 is the only mountain bike you need for any day on the trail.
