First Ride On My New Yeti SB140

New Whip- bit.ly/YetiSB14...
First ride on my newly built Yeti SB140. As if that isn't reason enough to get excited, this is my first ride on the infamous Wasatch Trail in Telluride, Colorado. Throw in some snow patches after an epic winter, Mr. Joey Schusler, and you have yourself a bike party. #followcamfriday surfing snow. Huge thanks to Jonathan Yaseen and Nate Smith for the lap. Yeti Tribe weekend was a blast!

[@natehills9388]

New Bike Day!!!!!! 27.5 ain't dead.

[@csparksnc1]

Need. Want.

[@csparksnc1]

My 5c is still so dialed and the best all day backcountry ripper I’ve ever owned and man I am really sweating the 140 thing looks SICKKKK.

[@AE-ft4mk]

I tested the 165 Friday at the tribe.. loved it, but i'm still thinking the 150 will replace my 5 LR in oct.

[@dank3823]

27.5 4 life 🤙

[@freendeed8410]

Need the 140

[@pvillaluna1]

OMG This is got to be one of the most beautiful places on earth

[@mrvwbug4423]

Yeah, the San Juans are truly special, even by Colorado standards.

[@andyraven6219]

Wow, that trail and scenery was some of the most beautiful I have ever seen. It had everything. Stunning.

[@FlowFinderUSA]

Called this magical place home for two years 94-96. Only people that have been there understand.

[@raivkka4313]

That place is for the rich and shameless now!

[@DaaamnGina]

WOW! Thumbs up for Nate 👍, Joey 👍, and several more for Telluride 👍👍👍!!!

[@olroymtbetc.6117]

Off camber snow riding with extreme exposure, at its best! Oh, and everything else!!!👊👍👊

[@coreybikes]

Aside from the insane riding this is far and away, hands down the most stunning trail scenery of all time!

[@Bigmountain73]

That waterfall line.. DANG SON!! Love the back-country spicy riding and views.

[@natehills9388]

Pretty commiting in the wet.

[@toddbz]

Dude went full Jedi down that shoot

[@willbros1499]

Man, first off...what an amazing place to ride! That wide open space, full light, dialed camera setup...NICE! It looked like a freaking cinema quality video image the entire ride. Second..loved the casual hop over the runoff creek bed depression at the 7:57 mark. Then short part where you guys blased down that little rock shelf to what looked like a couple of hundred feet of drop to the right...sort of jumped up on me! Exposure city. Great video as always, and while I'm not sure it mattered what bike you were on for that particular ridiculously amazing ride, it seemed to get down the trail pretty well. :-)

[@rbinatorr7761]

The hills are alive with the sound of...Hills 😳. Beautiful place

[@ethanbenton6676]

go to 3:18 and put it in 0.25 speed. I think Nate just shot a rock out of his chest.

[@BBKDRAGOON]

Sick trail!

[@naoyukisasanami]

Firstly seen this trail. awesome scenery

[@hardtailparty]

So good. I'd love to try one of these as a mullet.

[@natehills9388]

Definitely a possibility.

[@OutdoorGold]

Awesome seeing some shine thrown at T-Ride! You'll have to give us the Hills version of World Cup!

[@eugenespreutels8305]

Wow! That was an amazing trail, technical, serious exposure, and some amazing views. I have been wanting to head down to telluride for the past several years and now I see what I have been missing. Cheers!

[@natehills9388]

Get down there friend!

[@StanBo_ua]

WOW! It's most beautiful mtb trail I have ever seen before!

[@MtFalcon1]

Gorgeous! San Juans are the bomb.

[@verdonrocksphotography3510]

Looks like new machine is a hoot.... excellent riding with wicked switchbacks and great exposure, love it! Too bad i missed that tribe thing, maybe next time, thanks V!

[@natehills9388]

Next time man!

[@TheEpenefrin]

Spicy! Schusler getting loose!

[@mattdesmondwashere]

I hiked up that Wasatch 508 trail a couple of weeks ago. You guys are nuts riding down that wet waterfall section. Can't tell, but it's a sheer cliff right there and super sketchy. 👍

[@natehills9388]

Yes, you cannot fall to the right there, ha

[@freendeed8410]

Dude pogoing down through there like it's nothing......DAMN. Cheers for always bringin the best, hands down

A really good landscape, I enjoyed the video but I would have enjoyed to ride in that really good place. Thank you for the video!!!!

Riding this tomorrow :)

[@natehills9388]

Get some!

[@jackadler5941]

The scenery in your shoots are so amazingly beautiful, I find myself watching it go by rather than the great shredders in front of you.

[@johnglynn7795]

Nate, catching up on MTB videos during lockdown here in Bangkok. Wow, throw back video...how AWESOME and beautiful place to ride! BTW, watching your videos and test riding Yeti; I recently purchased a new 2021 SB130LR w/bluetooth shifting!. Its is a great ride. Blue skies, Jg

[@natehills9388]

Enjoy that new bike!!!

[@ColinHoernig]

Damn....that trail looks epic. Looks like y'all had a blast. New SB140 feeling good, Nate?

[@natehills9388]

Feels mint! Super playful.

[@Dewoy1]

Damn what a place.

[@Thesportynerd16]

How i start every Friday, love the vids!

[@natehills9388]

Good morning!

[@StanBo_ua]

My fave video at this channel. Beautiful nature and wonderful ride!

[@zxtenn]

WOW, serious exposure to say the least and way beyond my skill level but fun to watch. My 1st FS bike was a 2018 Spectral 6.0 [AL] and it was 27.5 then i sold it and replaced with a 2019 RM Instinct BC which was a 29, even though the RM was a far superior bike i think the Spectral with the 27.5 did handle a bit better on turns at slower speeds. Sold that one and looking at a 2021 SB-115 T-2 version, i just turned 66 and an Enduro bike is really more than i need.

[@loamtrailer805]

Shweetnesss!! that trail looks rad! That view, amazing! Trails like that are what mountain biking is all about! Yeti took it like a champ!

[@vboytan]

Fuck yeah nate

[@ryangregohara]

I’m so torn between this and the SB130. Short rider so might feel better on long days and tight trail on the 140

[@natehills9388]

If you run a small frame, the smaller wheels will probably feel better to you.

[@joeschmoe303]

6:54 - I don’t know, looks scandalous...(let me pay my bills right quick, COMMERCIAL!!) ... wooooohoooooo!!

Nate what size would u recommend for a guy who is 5'10.5" without shoes and over 5'11 with them on? I also have a 6 foot wingspan.

A large would probably feel good if you have long arms.

How do you ride down a trail like that? Heli drop?

[@natehills9388]

This is accessed from the ski area or by pedaling.

[@shawnmorrison5501]

Thoughts with a lyric 44 off set?

[@dweaver2788]

When will the SB-120 29 be released?

[@ngcreese1]

Hey Nate, did you put any volume spacers into the rear shock? If not what do run for PSI vs your body weight?

[@natehills9388]

I am honestly not sure what is in there. This is a custom shock, built by the engineers. My PSI is usually close to my body weight to start.
