Description

The 2023 Yeti SB140 T3 is a high-performance mountain bike that combines cutting-edge technology, top-quality components, and a versatile design. With its TURQ series carbon frame and an array of premium features, this bike is built to excel on any trail. Let's dive into the key features of the SB140 T3 and the available upgrade in greater detail.

The foundation of the SB140 T3 is its TURQ series carbon frame. Crafted with precision, this frame strikes a perfect balance between weight, strength, and stiffness. It offers exceptional power transfer and responsiveness, allowing riders to conquer challenging terrain with ease. The carbon construction also helps to absorb vibrations, enhancing comfort during long rides.

The all-new SRAM GX AXS Transmission brings a more integrated drivetrain to mountain biking. Gone is the weak link that is the derailleur hangar. In its place sits the GX AXS Transmission that mounts directly to the frame with the axle feeding through it. Shifts are buttery smooth and down-shifting under power is actually encouraged. The harder you press on the pedals, the smoother it shifts. Step up to the next generation of mountain bike drivetrains with the SRAM Eagle GX AXS Transmission. This new drivetrain replaces the shifter, cassette, chain, crankset, chainring, and derailleur. We even have options to upgrade the transmission to X0 or XX.

When it comes to stopping power, the SB140 T3 relies on SRAM G2 RSC hydraulic disc brakes. These brakes offer exceptional modulation and control, providing confidence-inspiring stopping power on technical descents and in variable weather conditions. The G2 RSC brakes deliver consistent performance and are easily adjustable to suit individual rider preferences.

The front suspension of the SB140 T3 is handled by the Fox Factory 36 Fit4 fork. With 150mm of travel, this fork delivers a plush and controlled ride, absorbing impacts and maintaining traction on rough trails. The Fit4 damper allows for easy adjustments, allowing riders to fine-tune the suspension for optimal performance in various trail conditions.

At the rear, the Fox Factory Float shock provides 140mm of rear travel. This shock is specifically tuned for the SB140 T3, offering excellent small bump sensitivity and support during aggressive riding. The Float shock enhances traction and stability, providing a confident and controlled ride on technical descents.

For seamless saddle height adjustments on the fly, the SB140 T3 features the Fox Performance Elite Transfer dropper post. With smooth and reliable operation, this dropper post allows riders to quickly transition between climbing and descending positions, maximizing maneuverability and control on the trail.

The SB140 T3 rolls on the DT Swiss XM1700 30mm wheelset. These wheels strike an optimal balance between durability and weight, offering reliable performance on rugged terrain. The 30mm internal rim width provides excellent tire support, enhancing traction and stability. The wheelset is built to withstand the demands of aggressive trail riding, ensuring longevity and dependability.

The front tire on the SB140 T3 is the Maxxis Minion DHF 2.5 Exo, renowned for its aggressive tread pattern and exceptional cornering grip. This tire excels in loose and technical terrain, providing confidence-inspiring traction and control. The rear tire is the Maxxis Aggressor 2.3 Exo, offering a balance of traction and rolling efficiency, allowing for nimble handling and efficient power transfer.

Additional components of the SB140 T3 include the Cane Creek 40 integrated headset, providing smooth and reliable steering, and the SRAM Dub BSA 73 threaded bottom bracket, ensuring efficient power transfer and easy maintenance.

For riders looking to further enhance their experience, the SB140 T3 offers the option of upgrading to the DT Swiss EXC 1501 Carbon Wheelset. This upgrade comes at an additional cost of $1000 and provides significant benefits. The EXC 1501 Carbon Wheelset features a lightweight carbon construction, offering improved acceleration, responsiveness, and agility. The carbon rims provide increased strength and stiffness while reducing rotational weight, resulting in enhanced climbing efficiency and maneuverability. These wheels are built to withstand the rigors of aggressive trail riding, making them a valuable upgrade for riders seeking top-tier performance.
