Yeti SB140 Review: Worth the upgrade from the SB130? 

Great explanation. Your explanations are technical, but yet very easy to understand what exactly you’re saying. Thanks

I watch a lot of MTB content, and I also owned the SB130 - this is the best video I have seen talking about the new bike. You have a very clear communication that other channels don't. Great content!

Your initial Occam ride review back in 2020 was awesome. Would love to see you do an update review for the Occam LT if possible. Cheers for the great content either way; fantastic reviews.

Absolutely brilliant overview of this bike. Looking forward to the showdown!

I love a review with video clips of someone really pushing the bike. Way better than talking at a table showing slow motion clips

I'd love to watch your review of the yeti arc

Great video man! Your reviews are quickly becoming my gospel for determining which bikes to keep an eye on. Really looking forward to more thoughts and comparisons between this bike and the Hightower. Merry Xmas yo

Extremely underrated content creator. From the quality of your videos to the consistency, you deserve much more attention!

Great Reviews!!! Still waiting for the comparison with the new hightower!!!

Damn, your lighting and color grading is getting so good!

Been loving your reviews lately! Thanks for the great content. Where is this review filmed? 😃

Awesome video Conor 🤘🏼👊🏼

Great review. In the market for a new sled. Trying to decide between this and the 160. Need to test drive them both

I have devoured your videos this past week. Outstanding content. So helpful. Keep it coming. Would still love to see the head to head more in-depth with the SB 140 vs the Hightower.

great review. I am so excited to hear that you no longer have to ride "forward" like my sb130.

Updating just the BB to threaded is good enough for me. And yes, geo now is good enough. So many diverse options, too many geo changes would bump into another existing option.

That jump at 7:42. *Chef's kiss*

The more I watch your videos, the more I'm liking your channel and the more I can't wait for another awesome bike review. All of your bike reviews that I watched were just on point. So PLEASE keep it going!!! I'm 6' 2" as well, with 36" inseam and 72" wingspan. I've owned a Yeti SB6 and SB100 and now I'm on the SB130 LR w/ Cascade Link and reduced 150mm fork for slightly better climbing abilities. Being 6' 2" puts us right between the size L and XL with the Yeti brand. All of the three Yeti bikes I've owned were in size Large. I'm curios what size Yeti you normally ride and why? Also what's your inseam and wingspan? The only two things that I'm not fully happy with my SB130 LR is the ultra low BB and the fact that I have to always make sure to keep my weight over the front wheel on descends to prevent a washout of the front wheeel. So I've been considering to maybe switch my SB130 LR to something different. And there's just way too many really good bikes. My other shorter travel bike that I'll be using for about 90% of my Bay Area rides is Transition Spur with stock SID and SID Lux suspension. So the bigger All Mountain bike I'll be using only once or twice a month on the more demanding trails like Santa Cruz. Unfortunately I don't do bike parks at all. Since I don't do any lifts or shuttles, climbing ability is very important for me. And because I'm not riding enough, or at least as I would like to on the more demanding tarils, my descending skills level is just average. So a confidents inspiring descender is a very important factor as well. The bikes I'm currently considering are: Yeti SB140 LR (the New 29er) Ibis Ripmo V2S Santa Cruz Hightower V2 Transition Sentinel V2 Specialized SyumpJumper EVO Alchemy Arktos 135 Any thoughts or input about the list oof bikes? Thank You!!!

Great review. Also.. damn it.. I think this is the bike to replace my Process 111.

You have great presentation skills. Really relaxed but not boring or disengaged. Actually prefer your reviews to PinkBike

Love me some Yeti's! They crushed it on the new line up. I think I'm going with the SB120, but I loved my SB130 and the Sangria is REALLY tempting! haha Great review!🤘❤🤘

The ibis ripmo v2s would be the biggest comparison to the Yeti sb140lr. For me, the Yeti and Ibis bikes are the top 2 most balanced do everything bikes out on the market. Seems to me Yeti leans more racing feel, whereas the Ibis seems to lean more playful. I would love to see more videos comparing them together.

Great video man!! really liked it. Have you ever ridden the Pivot Switchblade? I'm stuck deciding if I go with this bike the Yeti or the Switchblade.

Nice review! The geo seems really close to a Ripmo V2. Can you let us know your thoughts on the SB140 vs Ripmo V2?

Thanks for the great video. Do you still plan on making a video comparing the SB140 to the Hightower?

Thank you for a great review. I'm thinking about the Non LR 140 to save weight (I'm still on my trusty 5.5). What are your thoughts about the 150 vs 160 mm fork difference with respect to climbing and overall performance. TIA!!!

Hello, great job on the review of SB 140, curious question how would you rate the Revel Rascal an all mountain bike in comparison?

you guys are great why don't you have more subscribers

Awesome video! Just moved to SLC in May this year. So many incredible trails to ride! Could you share the trail network in this video?

St George trails- beautiful!

You should definitely sell merch. I'd buy a shirt with your color bar on it.

Geometry is about set in stone at this point. Ideally the industry will switch from boost to super boost so we can shorter up the rear end a little, this is especially important on smaller sizes, but aside from maybe more size specific geometry, seat tubes cant really get any steeper, head tubes cant get much slacker, and reach is really a product of seat tube angle so its not gonna get much longer. Seated distance from saddle to handlebars really hasnt changed too much over the decades even though reach has gone up inches because the saddle is now much further forward on the bike.

Great review! Thanks. Looking for a sb140LR but I was also considering a stump jumper evo. What will be your opinion between those two? I would like an all mountain bike. I liike a lot enduro but also make some routes (35-40Km) with some slope climbing(800-1000m). Cheers!

How does it compare to the Ibis Ripmo?

Great review!! If you could only choose one bike the SB140 or sb160 which one would you go for? Is there really much difference in climbing efficiency? Thanks

Did you ever get a chance to try a Large sized sb140 considering you are 6'2 and you said this fit on the longer side? Yeti's size guide for this year model of bike says someone at 6'2 could fit on a Large or an Extra Large frame. If you did which do you prefer and if you didn't do you think it matters which one you grab? Thanks for the great mountain bike reviews.

Great vid. I thought my sb130 was a harsh ride. Do you this the sb140 is a plusher feeling bike?

Great video! Where does the Smuggler fits between these two bikes ? Thank you .!

Hi! I’ll be upgrading to a new bike this summer. I currently own a 2017 specialized enduro which I plan to keep only use at my local bike park. I’m currently torn and can’t decided if I should go with the 140 standard or 140 LR . I’m looking for a bike that I can take on any trail. Aside from 10mm in travel between the standard and LR are there any other differences? Do they ride and handle the same? Why would Yeti make and give you an option to bump up to the LR?

Your choice between RM Instinct and SB140 and why. Which one has the better ride all around. I’m sure the Yeti is better climbing but not sure. Am stuck between these two as my one bike.

The new Trek Fuel EX has been raved about elsewhere. Have you ridden it and can give a comparison to the Yeti?

Could you please comment on its technical climbing ability vs the Trance X and its Maestro suspension? At over 60YO I’m more interested in climbing up gnarl the descending. Efficient and traction and that balance is what I’m looking for. I live in New England (have you ridden there?) and our terrain is probably polar opposite of yours. Endless rocks and roots, twisty tight trails littered with short punchy climbs and descents. No one’s pedals are unscathed and usually beat to a pulp. Trance X is a great deal compared to Yeti. Also considering (Gulp) regular Trance which might suit our terrain even better? Also learned on the Giant forum you can over shock it safely to just over 130mm travel with no frame interference.

The reason why some slow down is because of the global market. They are just trying to adjust to the circumstances to make sure they will actually manage to survive tomorrow. I got a 2022 Pivot Switchblade, but it isn't really a 2022 because it hasn't really changed since 2020(besides color). I'm pretty sure that's the same thing, just trying to make sure they survive tomorrow.

How do you think the new SB140LR compares to the previous SB150? Might seem like an apples to oranges comparison but that is my dilemma. Edit to say I absolutely love my SB150.

Does this bike sit between the new 5010 and Hightower if we were comparing Yeti with SC?

Where are you seeing an increase in stack height? According to Yeti's geo charts, they make the bike longer and lower (longer reach and shorter stack), which IMO is the biggest downside to the new SB140.

Love how the SBLR isn't quite as playful as the SB140. Sounds like a great balance.

So this, the new Ripmo V2S, or the Revel Rail 29?

You need to get your hands on that 4k Norco fluid. Word on the streets is it crushes the Yeti on climbs and Descents.

Get a Status 140 and call it a day. Use the rest of your money on mtb trips🤘🏽

How does it compare to the revel rail 29 you rode?

I’m curious to know how it compares to the Pivot Switchblade.

would you pick the 140 or 160 if you could own one for your wonderful backyard Utah?

Hi. Did you review this with the 150 or 160 fork? Very good review. Looking to possibly trade in my Capra and Izzo for one of these.

Thanks for the video! I am on the fence between saving a few dollars and getting a deal on an SB130LR or spending the extra and going for the new SB140LR that you reviewed here. Which one would you choose for a local Enduro race if you had to choose? Thanks for your help!

How does this compare to a Inis Ripmo and which bike would choose ?!?

How'd you compare this bike to the 2022 orbea rallon? Going up and down?

How does this compare to the trance x 29? Thanks

Would you upgrade your 130LR for the new 140?

SB160 video coming soon?

Funny thing is a lot of bike companies are going back to their original suspension designs. Today to much gimmicky ideas that serves no purpose other than trying to sell the bike. Is this just a coincidence? In my opinion Jamis MP2 suspension is the best. They have stuck to this design since the 90s. With a few minor tweaks here and there.

Is it worth the upgrade from a 2021 SB140LR?

The real question is to only own the 140LR or a 120 and a 160 2 bike quiver lol

Does anyone know what sb stands for?

I love this channel. Commenting for the Algorithm

Sb140 vs Shadowcat. Mullet!?!

The old Yetis are faster but scarier

Nobody wants to talk about the price of these bikes yet they are never at the top of performance .

I'm not sure what race bred means

Did you say $8800 jilion kigilion billion dollars?!?!?😳
