Looking on Yeti’s site. The SB140 are all sold as 160 forks now. Is this because the LR possibly outsold the original 150 fork version?

What?
Probably just trying to simplify the lineup. Just for reference the 150mm fork it used to come with versus the 160mm equals 136mm vs 145mm of actual vertical travel.
[ 150 * sin(65) ] = 136
It could be they found through testing one just simply performed and felt better. 🤷🏼♂️
If you have a strong desire for a 150 fork, just grab a 150mm airshaft. Overall, I prefer the way the bike rides with a 160mm fork and the float X is a better shock than the non-LR came with
Went back to the OG. I had a 2017 sb5.5 and it was 140/160.
