Killer review, honestly you’re doing the best reviews out there right now in my opinion. They really are coming off as true and honest by a skilled experienced rider instead of someone who might have some type of market influence behind it. Even mtb yum yums reviews lately are starting to feel like long commercials for salt cycles
Great review, totally agree with bringing the cockpit higher when I first got the bike and its super nice!!! Best climbing and descending bike in the category. Love it soooo much!!!
Au début du mtb, Yeti c'était une des références. Entredeux il y a eu beaucoup plus de concurrence. Et là, on dirait que le monstre revient dans la course. Merci pour cet essai Mo 🙏 ❤
Man, you talk as fast as you ride! 😆😁🤷♂️ I really like your description of the bikes. You can hear and understand the differences of those bikes. Great work.
Actually I wanted the stumpy 15, but now I'm considering rather this one. Want one single bike to do all kinds of stuff, fast climbs, long tours and downhill, maybe 5 times to a Bikepark per year. I'm intermediate, so I value maintailibilty and longevity as well. Saw some tests, but probably have to try both bikes. What do you guys think? Stumpy 15 or sb140?
At 6'5" I demoed the XXL 140 LR last year and thought it fit much better than my 2021 XL SB130 that I'm still on. The steeper seat angle and longer wheelbase/reach was very apparent. You mentioned a higher stack in this video for the 2025 model tested.....is this simply due to the 35mm rise bar or did Yeti actually increase the stack on the frame with different geometry? Finally getting some bikes that fit us big guys!!! Glad you liked it the second go around, this will be my new bike for next year!
It’s the same stack height but the new bar is stock for them and normally it comes much lower. It was much appreciated!! You will be stoked!!! Pro Bike has some insane deals too, they will take care of you!! Let us know if you have any other questions!
Just finished this review and your review on the new Stumpjumper 15. If you were to purchase one of these two bikes right now, which one would you get?
Hey Mo. Looking for your advice! I’m an older rider (56) and our local trails in Northern Ontario are rocky, technical single track with punchy climbs, moderate elevation, and very few berms to speak of! I ride with some younger guys so my priority is to keep up with them! I can hang with them on the downhill but loose them on the climbs and flats! I know it’s 90% rider but looking for any edge possible! Considering the Instinct C70 and SB140 GX build. Which combines efficiency with comfort for an old back?!?
100% the yeti between those 2!! I love the instinct but the yeti is definitely a bit more on the efficient side!! The instinct is more capable on rowdy descents though!! Both are great and you can’t go wrong!!!
Pro Bike Supply has some insane deals this Black Friday so make sure to check in with them! But as far as switch infinity vs DWlink, infinity is a bit better at high speeds while dwlink has a much more supple initial stroke! So if you like going fast the yeti will feel a little plusher at high speeds while the dw has a bit more traction initially! Both pedal just as great as each other!
@@moandhannahtravel I'll definitely check them out. SB140 LR would be a dream bike. Thanks for the comparison on DW-LINK and Switch Infinity. That's helpful.
Holy smokes! I've had the same 26" mountain bike since 2006... and the same wife since 2005. I need to get my act together! (I suppose I'll keep the wife.) But I'm actually going to be buying or ordering something new at the Sedona Mountain Bike Festival in March. And the SB140 is on my list of bikes to demo. I'm gonna keep my old bike for when friends come to visit... or give it back to the Flintstones!

You're killing it on these reviews. This is a TONE of work, and the end product is very informative with great production quality, hats off!
Thank you so much!!!!
Love the honesty and in depth reviews , overall I appreciate the direction your channel is taking , stay awesome 🤩
Love your reviews, Mo!!! Keep them coming!!! Looking forward to seeing your favorite bike, out of these.
Thank you so much!!!
Great review, totally agree with bringing the cockpit higher when I first got the bike and its super nice!!! Best climbing and descending bike in the category. Love it soooo much!!!
Such a great bike!!! The higher rise bars do great!!!
I was completely wrong about Mo...
Mo is Awesome
😂😂😂😂
Great review Mo...I love YETI bikes. Been a fan of their bikes since the Yeti/John Tomac days way back in the early 1990's.
Such an awesome brand!!!!!
Au début du mtb, Yeti c'était une des références.
Entredeux il y a eu beaucoup plus de concurrence.
Et là, on dirait que le monstre revient dans la course.
Merci pour cet essai Mo 🙏

Thanks for watching!!!!

Thanks so much! We’re trying too!!
100% on all points! All the things associated with Yeti and their bikes! Glad you liked it the second time around!
Yeti's are dentist bikes because you end up losing your teeth after riding one ;)
@mtbsavant5414 look who is alive on YT!! 😉
Yeti is awesome!!! That’s SB 140 is insane!!! 🔥
"The Yeti loves to eat"
That is so gnarly i'm dying 😂😂😂😂😂😂 making it sound like a sci fi alien species.
😂😂😂😂
Between this and a stump jumper , what’s a better climber/XC type bike?
I have 2023 SB140LR, and ended up putting a volume reducer in the Float X. I’d be curious to hear how different the latest tune is.
I also really like the higher rise bars on my SB150. It definitely helps the slow speed handling.
Such a good upgrade!!

Depends where I lived! Somewhere fast, Yeti! Somewhere a bit more tech, Stumpy! Conclusion out now!
You gotta put some grease on that Raptor’s squeaky door! 😎

Since it’s the lunch ride does it have 145 travel or 147?
Another great review. Thanks Mo! I have this on my list, but out of my price range currently.
Any comparisons between Switch Infinity and DW-link?

But as far as switch infinity vs DWlink, infinity is a bit better at high speeds while dwlink has a much more supple initial stroke! So if you like going fast the yeti will feel a little plusher at high speeds while the dw has a bit more traction initially! Both pedal just as great as each other!
@@moandhannahtravel I'll definitely check them out. SB140 LR would be a dream bike.
Thanks for the comparison on DW-LINK and Switch Infinity. That's helpful.
did they actually change the frame and geo to raise stack height or did you just add spacers and higher rise bars?
stock higher rise bars for 2025!
How would you compare to sb150?
How does this yeti sb140 compare against my 2022 Giant Stance? Asking for a friend. The sb140 is such a nice bike
It’s an insanely fast bike, you will be stoked. But as long as you’re out there having fun that’s awesome!
Trying Transmission I agree; the delay is insufferable. You know a 2.0 is coming to address this. And… I want CABLES!
Generally, Yetis like more air pressure and more compression in the rear shock.
Greatest bike ever made
Coming from a Ripmo, I was instantly at home on my new 140LR. Felt more agile, better balanced, but completely natural. No learning curve for me.
I've never kept a bike longer than 6 months and I have been stuck on the 140 for 13 months and I can't find a reason to switch. It is SO GOOD.
Such a great bike!!! Stoked your stoked!

Holy smokes changing bikes every 6 months?!
Life is short if you want to buy a new bike, do it!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Where are these trails?
In Laguna Beach!
Ha!!! We have the same shoes!
