What happens during lunch hour is rarely magical. On an average day, it means shoveling a sandwich down the gullet as quickly as possible in hopes that we'll have a few minutes to spare for a quick jaunt on the old bicycle, and when we're lucky we get some solid lunch laps in on tacky dirt, getting back in the office with a couple of mud splatters in our money-makers.

But Yeti doesn't stop there -- the drivetrain gets a serious upgrade beyond your regular-old GX with SRAM XX1 AXS shifter and rear derailleur that provides next-level shifting and handling, plus the tidiest cockpit you'll find on a mountain bike. Now, you'll still find the same frame as the SB130 -- think of the SB130 LR as the punkrock twin brother, who, minus the band tee, studded jacket, and mohawk, has the same stock as its more conventional sibling. That means it features the same longer, slacker geometry for taking on the steeps, and ste..
