Yeti SB140 Turq Series - 2021, X-Large

The 2021 Yeti SB140 TURQ Series is a "shred-first" trail bike designed to transform every local loop into a playground. Yeti Cycles, founded in 1985 in Colorado, is world-renowned for their proprietary Switch Infinity suspension system. On the SB140, this translating pivot moves upward to provide a crisp pedaling platform, then switches direction as the bike moves deeper into its 140 mm of travel to deliver a bottomless feel on big hits. This specific build uses Yeti's TURQ Series carbon fiber, their highest-level material which meticulously balances weight savings with high-velocity durability.

Dressed in the striking "Sangria" colorway, this XL build is a premium specimen featuring Fox Factory suspension with Kashima coating both front and rear. The Fox 36 fork is bumped to 160 mm of travel, providing a slack, confidence-inspiring front end for steep descents. Shifting is handled by the elite SRAM X01 Eagle drivetrain, offering a massive 520% gear range with the 10-52T cassette, while SRAM G2 RSC brakes provide the "SwingLink" leverage for nuanced modulation and raw stopping power.

The cockpit is reinforced with a Race Face Aeffect 35 mm stem and Yeti's own 780 mm carbon bars, ensuring a stiff and responsive steering interface. Rolling on a 27.5-inch platform with DT Swiss M1700 wheels, this bike prioritizes playfulness and quick acceleration over the roll-over speed of a 29er. While the frame shows some cosmetic evidence of being ridden, its structural integrity and high-performance components make it an elite choice for riders 6'1" and taller looking for a bike that is as fun in the air as it is through the corners.
