Yeti Cycles has announced the release of the new SB140, the third and final platform refresh for MY23.
The SB140 adds a versatile trail platform to the shorter travel SB120 and enduro-focused SB160.
Yeti’s co-owners, Chris Conroy and Steve Hoogendoorn, said: “This year’s product line is the culmination of two years of work from our product and engineering team.
“When we launched the SB130 and SB150 over four years ago, we pushed the envelope and those bikes stood the test of time, but we knew we could make them better, and make them faster.
“Our goal was to improve an already great platform by updating the kinematics, chasing down every detail to make the bikes faster, smoother, quieter, and easier to service.
“Each small detail is considered — taken in aggregate they make a massive difference in ride quality. This year’s new bikes — the SB120, SB140, and SB160 are the best bikes we’ve made to date.”
Features include:
– Size specific chainstay lengths and seat angles
– New improved Switch Infinity assembly on T-Series
