Would a Yeti SB140 be a good "jib" bike?

I may be in the minority here, but this bike would be more appealing to me without the electronic stuff

I agree with you completely. I think it is a dumb system personally.

Curious how long they plan on supporting the technology before it becomes obsolete.

Also if you are tying your fork to the app I would assume they would have your fork "usage" and maintenance history.

Not sure about minority status but I agree. I don't see appeal in having to keep things charged or installing updates eventually. Cables are fine.

I’m not quite sold on the flight attendant stuff just yet, but my AXS stuff is irreplaceable. Love my AXS!

Haven’t tried flight attendant, but I did try E:i a few years ago. From chats with sram reps it sounds similar, but the system is lead by the position/speed of the bike, rather than the initial hit to the fork.

Whilst riding it is wasn’t particularly impressed to be honest, didn’t feel like it was doing anything extra. Then I went back to a bike that didn’t have it and it was pretty clear that it was doing stuff, the bike just felt less efficient, as I was just leaving the suss fully open all the time.

Not sure I’d pay top dollar to have it back, mind…

Yeah I also love the AXS shifting. Definitely would be hard for me to go back to cable after using it. I am pretty confident the Flight Attendant is simply a transition medium while a fully dynamic "live valve" type system is being developed. It at least establishes rock shox as having a first iteration of a wireless suspension product on the market.

What do you mean? My suspension is wireless!
