If you’re on the hunt for comprehensive insights into the 2023 Yeti SB120’s geometry, look no further. We’ve got the definitive guide right here.

The Intricacies of Yeti SB120 Geometry

The Yeti SB120 is a shorter-travel bike that packs a punch in terms of performance and features. Designed for riders who crave agility without sacrificing durability, this bike is a fascinating study in modern mountain bike geometry. In this article, we’ll explore the bike’s weight, features, and what the “SB” in Yeti bikes really means.

The Weight Factor: More Than Just Numbers

How much does the SB120 weigh?

Although the SB120 is categorized as a shorter-travel bike, it’s not exactly a featherweight. The model priced at $9,600 has a total weight of 29.4 pounds, with the frame alone weighing 3,100 grams. Interestingly, this isn’t significantly lighter than Yeti’s larger trail bike, the SB140 LR, which weighs in at 37 pounds and has 140/160mm (rear/front) travel. This weight factor is crucial for riders who are looking for a balance between stability and agility.

The Meaning Behind the Label

What does SB mean on Yeti bikes?

The “SB” in Yeti’s full-suspension bikes stands for “superbike.” This is followed by a number that indicates the rear travel in millimeters. For example, the SB120 has 120mm of rear travel, making it a versatile choice for a variety of terrains.
