True to form, the Yeti SB120 has 120mm of rear travel suspension paired with 130mm travel fork, unless you opt for the LR (Lunch Ride) option, which gives you 140mm of travel up front.  This amount of travel puts the Yeti SB120 in the somewhat newly established "Downcountry" category. Most brands have approached this category by taking a traditional cross country, low-travel bike and speccing bigger suspension with a slightly slacker geo while avoiding letting the numbers reach what the industry views as a "trail" bike. Cross Country bikes are fast. Trail bikes are confident. Downcountry bikes aim to achieve a blend of the two. In this niche category of mountain bikes, the Yeti SB120 is up their with the best thanks to their Switch Infinity suspension design and crafty engineering. 

 Is the Yeti SB120 a good climber?

Absolutely. While it isn't the lightest bike in the downcountry category, the Yeti SB120 responsive frame shines in its ability to levitate up a climb.
