Every day at their headquarters in Golden, Colorado, Yeti Cycles closes up shop for about an hour and a half for their longstanding tradition of a daily lunch ride. The trails in that area are fairly rowdy, involving tough climbs, technical descents, and an abundance of angry rocks. For this type of rugged terrain, the preferred bike among the Yeti crew is a modified version of the SB130 that's been appropriately dubbed the SB130 Lunch Ride. Equipped with a longer stroke Fox Factory DPX2 rear shock that boosts rear travel by 6mm, a 160mm travel Fox 36 with the highly-tunable GRIP2 damper (10mm more front travel than the standard SB130), powerful SRAM Code brakes, and custom DT Swiss EX1700 32-spoke wheels that are made to take a beating, the SB130 Turq LR T2 X01 Eagle Mountain Bike straddles the line between a nimble trail bike and hard-hitting enduro sled. This steed is the product of generous days of playing around on local trails and tinkering with parts to find the right balance of descending prowess and climbing efficiency, making it a great option if you're stuck deciding between the SB130, or it's long-travel sibling the SB150. 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 steeper seat tube for pedaling up long climbs to earn your turns. Its 65. 1-degree headtube is over a full degree slacker than the brands 5. 5, a bike that already pushed the boundaries of a long-travel 29er. Of course this contributes to unflappable stability when descending steep, technical terrain, but usually, a headtube angle so slack would be a bear on climbs and have lazy handling manners on the rest of the trail. This simply isn't the case with the SB130 as it employs a 44mm fork offset to bring the front wheel in closer to the ...
