SB140 (27.5”)

Brand: Yeti
Category: Mountain

The question you are dying to ask is, “Is this the replacement for the SB5?” The quick answer is yes (it IS the 27.5″ quiver bike), but the more nuanced truth of Yeti’s modern geometry (steeper head tube angles, longer wheel bases) reveals itself upon the first ride. This bike sports a decidedly pro-Enduro suspension profile: 160 up front, and 140 mm in the rear. For riders who upgraded their SB5’s to the Lunch Ride spec, the SB140 will feel like an old friend; albeit one who has just returned from a trip around the world with newly enlightened philosophies about fun and freedom. Still snappy, but more aggressive. Still play-worthy, but more confident climbing and descending. No 27.5″ wheel aficionado can deny the importance of a demo ride on the SB140.
