Positioned as a fun-focused trail bike with some enduro flair, we rally the SB140 CLR SLX Mountain Bike on our local trails knowing that we'll be able to make the most of every trail feature. Snappy 27. 5-inch wheels provide excellent reactivity, while 140mm of Switch Infinity suspension soaks up big hits on the descents. Yeti's suspension platform is well known for its sticky rear-wheel traction, making this nimble trail bike a proper weapon on technical ascents and ripping downhills alike. This particular SB140 has received Lunch Ride treatment, meaning the fork travel is stretched to 160mm, the shock is beefed up to a Performance Float X, and descent-oriented tires make this the build of choice for the Yeti team to ride on their local Colorado trails.Designed from the ground up for trails that favor the descents but can still charge up the climbs, this version of the SB140 receives modern low and long geo to maximize stability at speed. The 140mm of rear suspension paired with a 160mm fork happily gets us through an enduro stage race on Saturday and a long ride with our friends on a Sunday morning. We use the moderately slack 65. 4-degree head tube to keep us stable at speed, while the 27. 5in wheels let us make quick direction changes and hop over logs and rocks.Yeti offers two different levels with its carbon frames, with this bike utilizing the lower level C-series carbon. It's not a bad thing really, it just lets Yeti hit a lower price point add the cost of a few hundred grams of weight. In fact, the ride quality is on par with the higher-grade TURQ frames, and the weight difference is very hard to distinguish while riding. Regardless, Yeti bikes feel light and snappy on the trail and they're certainly lighter than many of their competitors, as the brand is focused on crafting some of the world's best race bikes.*Due to unprecedented demand in the global supply chain and the bike industry over the last 18 months, material weight and exact components are...
