From flow trails to technical trail rides, the SB140 is a trail machine we would be stoked to ride anytime. The SB140 is a trail bike that has the best of both worlds, with a fun and agile geometry combined with 29-inch wheels for efficient rollover characteristics; we feel the SB140 is a well-balanced bike that does everything right. Yeti's Switch Infinity suspension platform uses a translating pivot design that moves up and back down again as the bike moves through its suspension travel to give us better small bump sensitivity, mid-stroke support, and bottom-out resistance. The SB140 has many of the same design features as the beloved SB130 but takes them to the next level to give us a bike that is more capable and just as efficient. The Yeti SB140 features a slack 65. 4-degree headtube angle to provide us with confidence and stability as we point the wheels downward, and a higher stack height puts us in a more upright position allowing us to be more capable on the descents while maximizing efficiency when climbing. Size-specific seat tube angles ensure we all get an efficient pedaling position, and size-specific chainstays allow every rider to have a playful, poppy, and stable bike, no matter what frame size we are on. Yeti revised their frames this year, giving us 34 more millimeters of clearance under the bottom bracket to protect against rock strikes. The Switch Infinity system also received an update, giving us a smaller, more compact design, more durable, corrosion-resistant bearings, floating collet pivot axles for enhanced stiffness, and a new bushing design for greater sensitivity. 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...
