I just road the SB140 over this past weekend and freaking love it! My brother just got the Sentinel and he almost regrets buying it after we rented the SB. That is the bike I will buy early next year. Great video!
The Yeti is very popular in my local trail, SB6, SB150, recently landed SB165. Not a very light bike for a carbon tho, but the climb is insanely great with that slack head angle...
The POVteer Its definitely one outside the reach of many (self included). I honestly didn’t think I’d be looking back to 27.5 this fast (just switched to 29er 3-4 months ago)
@@MILTONATOR same, in my case..i was just about to look into 29er options, then this beast showed up..and i am confused again. but it's not like i can afford it anyway (for now ;)..)..just one of the things that keeps you awake at night.. XD
Yeah, the trail is awesome man. I'm not too familiar with Fezzari (not many around where I live) but hopefully I get a chance to upgrade next year - like you ;)
I demoed a Yeti SB 130 in July and it was fantastic bike. Light, racy and so quick down the mountain, I loved it. Now that there is a SB 140 with 27.5 i'm really leaning that way despite having a chance of getting a 2019 Evil Offering a really good price....shit I don't know! Kinda different bikes. Great vid though.
Patrick Steinmark All 3 bikes you mentioned are freakin’ great. You probably already know but just in case, with Evil... make sure you can lower the dropper to where it fits you. Their frame design limits how low the post goes 🤙🏼
@@MILTONATOR Ok thanks. This is pretty important as I ride a large and need a 170mm dropper. I'm going to go look at the bike this week so thanks for the heads up.
I liked this bike a lot. Got to ride one last week. I thought it was the one until I rode the Intense Primer S. It’s a 29 front 27.5+ rear. Although I’m looking at the T1 spec with the Xt components, I’m still not sure if the Yeti is worth the price.
Justin Mcdonald I’ve yet to ride a mullet bike (hopefully soon). The cost of a Yeti is a hard pill to swallow, no doubt. But they do come with lifetime warranty and personally, the attention to detail on their frames and hardware is pretty impressive.
I agree it’s a great build and definitely a high quality bike, it’s a very popular brand here in Boise. It climbs so much better than my Kona Process 153. For me I really liked the Intense because it felt more like a trail/enduro bike in the chunky section but still was very playful in the flow. The SB 140 felt like a playful trail bike which isn’t a bad thing, it was still very fun to ride. I might just keep my Kona for the gnar and go with the Yeti for the flow
Killer review as always. I am struggling to decide between the sb130 LR and SB140 which really comes down to 29 vs 27.5 I guess. How does the sb130 jump ?
They’re both great bikes. In my opinion, if playing with your bike means more than going faster, then the sb140 is the one to get. If race speed is priority without sacrificing much of the playfulness, the. Sb130. To answer your question, they both get up in the air pretty easily but the 140 feels much more lively
Nice vid. How do you think the SB140 compares with your previous Commencals? I'm debating SB140 or the Meta TR and not sure if I want 29 or 27.5. Not really bothered about wheel size.
Steve Harper obviously the biggest difference is weight, carbon vs aluminum. I felt the SB140 to be more fun-focused whereas the Meta is more race-focused. In terms of pedaling efficiency, Yeti takes the win but the Meta manages OK! Then there’s the price tags. If money is not an issue, SB140 for the win. But I think the TR can deliver just as much fun for much less $$$
Thanks for the reply Milton. Useful info. As far as price point goes, I can get a top spec TR with factory sus and XT group for less than the entry level SB140. The Commencal is definitely best value but I always wanted a Yeti. Really like SLX and not too fussed about having factory suspension or not. Decisions decisions...thanks again dude.
Great review! thanks hermano.. +1 on that SB130 vs SB140! I have a 650bStumpjumper fattie that I really enjoy but want something faster over rocky descents and a better jumper and a better climber. Would you say this Sb140 is that bike?
LuisR MCL Thanks man. I took a short chunky descent on a 130 (not enough for a video review) and it felt really good. To answer your question... I would go for the sb130. My opinon
@@MILTONATOR thank you for your advice! I would have thought that the sb140 was a better fit! Cant wait for your video sb130 vs sb140 to better understand your advice. Thanks again!!
Hold your horses there!!! Lol do a video or go demo a SB130 and compare the SB140 and SB130 and give your final thoughts on those “trail” bikes I wish you were my size brotha so you can try out VPP 🤙🏼
Michele Wacker Significantly more agile and more maneuverable than my Sentinel. And it makes sense. The sb140 is 27.5 vs 29 and 1 degree steeper headtube AND carbon as opposed to my Sentinel which is alloy. It is the agility and maneuverability of the sb140 that moved me to sell my Sentinel. It’s not a One is Better than the Other thing. They’re different. The sb140 is a trail ripper while the Sentinel is all mountain/enduro smasher.
@@MILTONATOR Thank you! I have been watching videos on this bike like a 14 yr old boy watches porn. I'm going to demo a medium in a few weeks (when it arrives). If I can corner the medium (too big for me), I will order the small. I don't need or deserve this bike, but more importantly I don't care. It just needs to feel good (said that 14 yr old). Surprisingly, the gray is growing on me. Thanks again. Something about your video or the way it was shot that I really found helpful.
Michele Wacker I am glad to hear you found the video helpful. And like you, I don’t deserve this bike either but I’m coming after it (like a 14 year old) 😂
@@MILTONATOR Finally got this bike in a small to demo in my area. Rode it at Santos (Ocala, FL) and loved it. Way lower and longer than my Trek. SB 140 is 3 degrees slacker in HTA and 4 degrees steeper in STA plus 2.5 inches longer in WB and reach. But it didn't feel foreign, it felt good. I made climbs on the Vortex trail much easier, solely due to the stability of the 140 on the climbs. I was able to hold my line without getting twitchy or light in the front AT ALL. I'm a bit worried about the low BBH/WB ratio, but if guys can ride this in a large, which is an even lower BBH/WB ratio than the small, then I know I can adjust. I had one pedal strike in a corner (we can pedal through corners on most Florida trails) and one bottom bracket/possibly chain ring strike going over a log. It also took some adjustment to make the switchbacks, but wasn't near as tough as I expected-- just a weird feeling because the rear wheel is doing it's own thing, taking an entire different line than the front wheel which gave me the feeling of riding sideways on switchbacks--my short Trek doesn't do that. The 2.6 tires slowed me down a bit but who cares, I will change those out and keep them for summer riding in New Hampshire. I'm deciding which build now and I'm getting this bike!
Michele Wacker Wow! Your comment in video format would make a killer bike review 👌🏼 Thanks for sharing and congratulations! It’s such a awesome bike. Funny, I lived in South Florida (2013-2015) when I wasn’t biking like I am today. Santos looks tons of fun! Hoping to make it there sometime soon. All the best 🤙🏼
@@MILTONATOR I picket it up yesterday and took it out today. First impressions are good. I’m really impressed with how well it climbs. The front end stays glued to the ground and doesn’t wander at all. It is 4 lbs heavier than my Tracer, and not quiet as fast, but it was way more fun to play with.
Calavera Chronicles Great question! Learned that RevGrips come in 3 sizes (S, M, L) and these were large and they were WAY THICK! Seriously took away from the experience (but didn’t mention as I didn’t wanna unintentionally throw shade on the bike). I ride slightly bigger grips, so for me Medium would be my size. But even with that, I think the grips have do have a special comfort to them. I will be switching soon.
MILTONATOR it’s really weird because it’s a difference you don’t notice until you look for the difference. For example I didn’t notice my arms and hands weren’t sore until my friends mentioned that their hands and arms were sore that’s when it hit me that those pricey grips actually do work for me lol. The chunk is where it really shined for me
I wanna Buy a 29er Enduro Racebike. What Bikes would you redommend me to try out ? Yeti SB 150 ? Santa Cruz Hightower ? ( Have to say I did not Raced so far )
Mr Maniac Yes, the Sb150 and the Santa Cruz Megatower are top of the list. Something more affordable would be the Commencal AM 29er. Also the YT Capra 29er.
@@MILTONATOR Thank You for youre Answer! Yes I had no clue about the YT . I think I will go with (Intense Carbine) (YT Capra) or (Transition Sentinel) I have a Question about Suspension.

If you were to choose between the SB150, SB140 and SB130. Which one would you choose to be your daily driver and to dabble in 6-7 enduro races a year? I live in Dallas by the way. Nothing like this where I get 15 minutes of decent. If I ride hill country or Arkansas I might get 3-4 minutes of decent.
Derek Taylor I would go with the sb130 lunch ride to get me 160 front and 143(?) rear. I’m 5’9” so a 29er would be a good fit for me and Enduro Race capable. If I wasn’t planning on Enduro racing then I would pick the sb140.
