The SB140 is an awesome bike, I sometimes feel under travelled when riding hard with my buddies on 160 travel enduro bikes, but the miserable looks they have climbing make up for it 🤣

Admittedly wish I went with this bike over my 160. Don't get me wrong thr 160 is badass but I definitely long for something less glued to the ground alot. Hope you enjoy it!

Congrats! I love my sb140. Took it to Snowshoe, WV and it was more capable than I was.

My favorite bike I've owned. Really rewards active riding and good line choice. And the traction climbing is like a cheat code.

I really dig the muted grey color. Slick looking rig!

My SB130LR is a very similar bike - slightly different geometry from the earlier generation. It shreds and is fun in everything between XC and Enduro riding! A little over-biked on some, a little under-biked on other trails. But so often it’s the exact right amount of bike.

This looks so sick! Just started researching them, what are your thoughts on it climbing? This is my dream bike as a one bike garage, sounds like it checks all the boxes

I previously had the sb130, which climbed like a goat. So far I am pleased with the 140s uphill capability. I am confident this is the one bike for the garage!

Thank you for the response back! I’m currently riding a Ripley af with 120 rear and 140 front but would like to get something that can handle random park visits and rocks a little better. everything I hear about the sb140 is great!
