Yeti SB140 LR T3 X0 Turq review – pricey and lacking a host of modern features, but it still quietly rips like nothing else

Yeti SB140 T3 XO profile with a forest back drop.

Yeti offers three mountain bikes in its full suspension 29er range, with the SB140 sitting centrally between the SB120 lightweight trail bike and the SB160 Enduro racer. However, the iconic Colorado company says this is “THE BIKE IN BETWEEN NOTHING. MASTER OF THE CLIMB, THE BOMB, THE RAIL, AND THE AIR. THE UTTERLY UNEQUIVOCAL. THE RULE CRUSHER. THE TREND BUSTER.” The Lunch Ride version adds a 160mm fork to the 140mm chassis to give even more punching power to the bike the iconic Colorado company says “CAN ABSOLUTELY RULE”. But how does the block capital trash-talking hype hold up after months of flat-out trail riding?
