Shredding after-work hot laps, sending side hits, and crushing seemingly endless climbs are all on the menu for the newly redesigned Yeti SB140. Now sporting 29-inch wheels, the Yeti SB140 is more capable than ever. Yeti’s engineers updated geometry to create a consistent ride feel across the entire size range and also updated their super strong C/Series carbon layup to strike the perfect balance between torsional stability and frame flex so we get a responsive ride that handles with complete precision. 140mm of Switch Infinity rear travel lets us maintain traction on everything from moss-covered rocks to loose desert dust and also provides us with a supportive platform for pedaling.

The Yeti SB140 C1 SLX 29in Mountain Bike is ready to take on anything we throw at it with precision and speed. *Due to a high demand in the global supply chain and bike industry since the start of the pandemic, material weight and…
