Ask anyone here and they’ll tell you that lunch rides are pretty darn popular. The new Yeti SB140 LR, or Lunch Ride, is more than just an SB140 with a longer fork. Boasting 140mm of Switch Infinity rear travel for a supportive pedaling platform and exceptional traction in both directions as the bike moves through its travel.

The Fox Performance 36 fork offers 160mm of tech-hungry travel and easy-to-adjust settings so we can dial in our suspension setup without ending up with a headache. 29-inch Crank Brothers Synthesis Enduro wheels are built to stand up to big hits and are independently tuned with a compliant front wheel for maximum grip and a burly rear wheel for high-speed stability, helping keep us dialed on our line no matter how chunky it gets.
