Yeti SB140 T2 Full Suspension Mountain Bike 2021
Some say the SB140 never met a dirt it didn’t like. We agree in spades. What’s your pleasure? Drag a bar. Make an edit. Stay out after dark. Try it. Land it. Or just stay at it. Happy to pedal. Greedy for more.the mayor of jibtown, proudly wearing the rip crown. The SB140. Down to fun.
THEY AREN’T DETAILS IF YOU NOTICE THEM – Shuttle pad so frame scratches don’t happen on the way to the trail.
NEW SCHOOL GEOMETRY – Responsive and designed to feel like an extension of the rider.
HEAD TUBE ANGLE? – Feels about right.
LEVERAGE RATE – Yeti aim to design a leverage rate with linear progression. A straighter, more linear progression curve means it’s easier to tune shocks to pair with suspension kinematics, and they don’t have to to rely on damping circuits to compensate. We can choose a leverage ratio that provides small bump sensitivity and enough progression to maintain mid-stroke support and bottom out control. Being able to manipulate the leverage ratio without affecting the anti-squat characteristics is unique to Yeti’s patented Switch Infinity suspension.
ANTI-SQUAT – Across Yeti’s line, they have chosen a relatively flat and high anti-squat curve in beginning and mid-section of travel where pedaling commonly occurs a.k.a the pedaling zone. This creates an efficient pedaling platform through your entire pedaling zone, there is an inflection point where the Switch Infinity link moves down, dropping the anti-squat drasticlly. Riders are typically not pedaling in this zone, so chain forces have less of an effect on the suspension performance. Decoupling of the chain forces allows the suspension to work more efficiently to absorb impacts making the feel of a Yeti distinct.
CARBON LAYUP – Made with the highest quality carbon fiber available, TURQ series bikes offer the perfect balance of stiffness and compliance.
