The updates to the Yeti SB140 have brought the geometry right up to date and made maintaining it easy with a trustworthy build specification. The bar height is a little too low for my liking and it can't be labelled as "good value for money" but it sure is a solid and reliable trail bike if your pockets can take the hit.

The new SB140 is the middle child in Yeti's 2023 lineup, sandwiched between the SB120 on one side and the SB160 on the other. It's essentially the evolution of the SB130, the most popular model in Yeti's lineup for the last few years.
 

Behold, Yeti's all new SB140 29er - a bike that's truly ready for anything. From flowing singletrack to chunky descents, bike parks, and everything in between, this machine is at home in a myriad of environments and is ready for its limits to be pushed. Featuring a fully updated pivot design, a co-molded threaded bottom bracket, increased downtube clearance, a dual density downtube protector and much more, this bike sees a lot similar improvements that you've seen on the recently released SB160 & SB120.

The 2023 SB140 is the mountain bike most people will turn to when shopping for a luxury-priced, carbon trail bike from Yeti Cycles. Not a new 27.5-inch-wheeled SB140 that we've come to know, this new SB with the same name is a 29-inch-wheeled variant replacing the SB130 and SB130 LR that aims to increase the fun factor while simultaneously improving pedaling performance.

As the saying goes, “all good things come in threes”. Judging by Yeti’s 2023 press kit, the Colorado-based manufacturer knows this very well. Alongside the brand new SB160 and SB120, Yeti have just unveiled the SB140, providing the golden middle of the 2023 SB range.
