Last October, the mountain bike world held its collective breath. During his second run at Red Bull Rampage, Adolf Silva went down hard. We’re used to seeing Adolf walk away from the unthinkable, but this time was different. The crash resulted in a life-altering spinal cord injury, shifting his focus from the red dirt of Southern Utah to a grueling new reality of rehabilitation.
To support his journey and help cover the mounting costs of care, the crew at Yeti Cycles has stepped up in a big way. In collaboration with Adolf and the team at Fox, Yeti has built a “one-of-one” SB140 that is more than just a masterpiece.

This isn’t just a stock build with some fancy stickers. Inspired by the custom rig Adolf campaigned at Rampage, this SB140 is a tribute to his style and resilience. It features top-tier Fox suspension and a build kit designed to handle the kind of abuse Adolf is known for. And they’re ready to give it a new home.
Starting March 23 and running through May 13, Yeti and MXLocker are hosting a giveaway for this unique machine. Every single dollar raised from the entries goes directly to Adolf to support his ongoing recovery and his pursuit of new athletic milestones.

Adolf Silva
If you’ve ever watched Adolf ride, you know he doesn’t do anything halfway. His commitment is absolute. As it turns out, that same “all-in” mentality translates perfectly to recovery. In the months since the accident, Adolf has approached rehab with the same intensity he brought to the sport. He isn’t just working toward independence; he’s rediscovering what it means to be an athlete. From wheelchair basketball and climbing to sit-skiing and training for Hyrox Adaptive competitions, Adolf is proving that while his equipment might have changed, his engine remains the same, and his positive mental outlook is still the driving force.
