Everything you said here Ryan goes slightly against your latest "peeve" vid.. about overforking bikes..lol, but ya with a bike like the yeti & how well they pedal I'm sure it'll work just as well.. Which is exactly why I'm going to take my SB100's 120fork to 130mm up front & maybe if the rear can be converted then I'll bring that up to 115mm travel also. 😛👏🏼🚲💨 At least I hope 🤷🏻♂️
I'm pretty sure the lunch ride has the same shock as the regular 130, just with a travel reducer removed. So everyone who has a 130 can make it 137 by removing the plastic reducer.
Oliver, you are correct. All they do is remove that and you get that 7mm more of travel. It's a basically a plastic spacer, if you will. DVO does this as well in their rear shocks and so does RS on some of theirs. If you have a 130, remove it and there you have it!
Its hard to take Palm serious without his head band. Settled on the LR over std 130. Heavier set rider, bigger brakes, travel and capability for $400 upgrade was a no brainer for local so cal riding. Better mid stroke and progression set up. Agree a lot of cabbage to drop.Found wheel spec not on par w/ rest of bike . I9 305 set fixed that ca ching ride on!
You can do the same with the Commencal Meta TR29. It has 130mm travel standard with a shock of 210x50. But when you change the stroke to 210x55 you have 143mm of travel.
@@amator129 there is...to simplify, through leverage, the rear travel is determined by shock stroke. 210mm eye to eye shock with 50mm stroke on my example suspension gives 130mm of travel. So maintaining 210mm but increasing stroke to 55mm, is an increase of 10% over 50mm(5 is 10% of 50). Stroke determines the travel, 5mm(10%) more stroke gives 10% more travel. 10% of 130 is 13. Original travel is 130mm via 50mm stroke, add 10% you get 143mm via 55mm stroke. I'll try to post my work on quora tomorrow. I also did formulas on angular distance(for the rear travel) aswell. Ill add the link soon.
I honestly didn’t think the normal 130 was much lighter feeling or better at climbing then the 150~ I think they made the LR for those that are just a bit shy to buy or scared of owning a bike that’s in the “150’s category” not a huge difference tho from my experience as far as 130 being much more “playful/lighter & easier handling” vs the 150.. maybe I’m nutts and just love bigger feeling bikes, but the 130 was really high on my list of bikes I wanted to like more then any others, & it was a mild letdown for this rider. If I was to have justified owning the 130 it would have seen a longer 160 fork & maybe that’s why I need to try the 130LR just to see if it’s any more confident then the OG 130 🤘🏼 Great reviews as always & I’d love to know what you guys think on how the Forbidden Druid compares to the 130LR 🕺🏻 or maybe even the new Ripmo V2
Yeah, you can increase the travel on the SB130 but that already-low BB will drop a bit more, which would suck for many riders in rocky terrain. For them, the 160 fork would give them back the lost mm of BB height. I love everything about the 140 and the 130 LR but I do not like the low BB, which keeps me from buying it.
Depends where you live. I'm sure in Colorado it's more fun since it's super Rocky out there but if you live somewhere like Cali you don't really need anything more than 130
i run my rear shock a bit firmer than plush, but not too firm, so i think its at 27%, i added a volume spacer it was a grey one 0.4, initially i didn't put enough pressure and i suffered alot on the climb so next ride i added more pressure and it help, on my last ride i went up more and it felt solid on the climbs and i didn;t notices it letting me down on the descends, so dont go past plush(30%) on the sag. fork is at 20% or more but i haven't touch it since i got the bike it feels hard on small bumps but mid strokes on chunky rock gardens is where it comes alive and fun
Nice looking bike but poor quality control or poor transport.Rear wheel has major issues right out of the box. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Rear axle is bent! Derailleur is misaligned.Since the rear wheel comes assembled I would have expected better.Assembly instructions poorly written, but that was not unexpected...just annoying.I just had the bike checked at a shop and was told that I should contact the seller about getting a whole rear wheel assembly with cartridge. (The bike shop could not do anything to help me).Not a good experience with this bike, so lesson learned.Added 3 stars for excellent customer serviceUpdate Sept 8 2020Just received a complete replacement wheel for free. Great service and an otherwise fine bike.
That's how I have my 130 set up. 137/150. I call it the Brunch Ride. And yes it's a good set up.
I'm thinking of doing that. How does the 137mm feel compared to 130mm?
Great review, but Palmer your dad wants his hat back. 😂
We need an evil the following review!

Trying one out right now. Never had a bike that wants to go off every little jump so much. It’s just so playful and fast.
I'm pretty sure the lunch ride has the same shock as the regular 130, just with a travel reducer removed. So everyone who has a 130 can make it 137 by removing the plastic reducer.
Oliver Sweezy Yep, it’s a black aluminum spacer in the shock that limits the travel. Open the air canister and clip it off.

Can’t wait getting my 130 lunch ride in a he beginning of October

Excellent review! Awesome info and tech about the bike.
I Lunch Rode my SB130. It changed the bike somewhat. In a nutshell: more stability at the expense of manuverability

Same with the Stumpjumpers (Evo especially).
Its not necessary- but nice to have
Hi. Is there a formula to calculate the length of your rear travel travel?
@@amator129 there is...to simplify, through leverage, the rear travel is determined by shock stroke. 210mm eye to eye shock with 50mm stroke on my example suspension gives 130mm of travel. So maintaining 210mm but increasing stroke to 55mm, is an increase of 10% over 50mm(5 is 10% of 50). Stroke determines the travel, 5mm(10%) more stroke gives 10% more travel. 10% of 130 is 13.

@@fcbotieno Thanks a lot for your reply
Yeti SB 130 is THE SUPER BIKE!!!
I'm currently running a LR shock with a 150 fork and I LOVE it!
What size bike and how tall are you?
@@mtbeliever5833 5'9" on a Medium
If you were a bit taller could you see yourself on Large?
@@mtbeliever5833 if I were 5'10 I would TRY a large but the Medium has a 460 reach which I fine perfect and it's quite long already
@@mtbeliever5833 these bikes are quite long, with Yeti you rarely size UP as with other brands

Bike Somm riding them back to back I found the 150 far slacker. The 130 felt trail bike for sure.

Just get shorter cranks
The 140 still gets the cake for me
This... or Ripmo v2?
Ty for the video 🤙
What would be interesting is if they put the new fox 38 @ 160 travel.
too heavy, what's the point
I did that to mine
Please test the Forbidden Druid
Ryan Palmer.... what is the bike you grab more often than any other...
Thank you in advance. Hammer on...
Transition Scout Review Pls
Interesting that Yeti made a Lunch Ride model for SB130 so quickly considering they released a Lunch Ride model to the SB5 in 2018.
great video! I got the regular sb130. Is it possible to to tune the rear shock from 52,5 to 55? Its the performance dpx2 of 2019.
All you need to do is clip the spacer out on the shock. Really easy job
Beautiful bike! Seems that the extra travel would be a more fun trail bike.
Depends where you live. I'm sure in Colorado it's more fun since it's super Rocky out there but if you live somewhere like Cali you don't really need anything more than 130
Tom I agree. Where I live, in Ohio, that bike is overkill but who doesn’t like shiny, new things? 😆
Tom plenty of big rocks in Cali too!
Can we get more evil the following information.
Basically a reign 29
what sag did you guys run on the SB130 Lunch Ride? front, and rear.
i run my rear shock a bit firmer than plush, but not too firm, so i think its at 27%, i added a volume spacer it was a grey one 0.4, initially i didn't put enough pressure and i suffered alot on the climb so next ride i added more pressure and it help, on my last ride i went up more and it felt solid on the climbs and i didn;t notices it letting me down on the descends, so dont go past plush(30%) on the sag. fork is at 20% or more but i haven't touch it since i got the bike it feels hard on small bumps but mid strokes on chunky rock gardens is where it comes alive and fun
i love it
Basically a Knolly Fugitive LT
When you get RDR2 from Game pass
🤣🤣🤣
I'll let you know how I love my 130 or 150 after i rob the bank to pay for one of them...
Extra bb height is the trade off. Can’t see the point.
Given most riders in EWS are running 150mm, 160 is going to be overkill for most terrain/riders. Cool bike though
Where are you getting "160" from? If you're talking about the SB150 (EWS bike), it uses a 170mm fork..
@@zzzogas413 he's talking about the fork, the Lunch ride has a 160mm travel fork

You seem like the type that would ridicule Millennials for just about everything.
@@gregoryvierra6114 how ever you want to characterize me on an internet feed to a website that is now shuttered is good with me #timingiseverything
Facts about this bike:
- It's twice as expensive as a Norco Optic
- I'ts probably not as shredd-y as a Norco Optic
Meteor Media I’m gonna take a wild guess and say you like really the Norco Optic 😅
The optic has builds nearly the same price. You're not making a good comparison Jim
I smell Norco fanboi
It’s by far not twice as expensive. Go do your homework before spewing lies.
Go buy a Norco
