Yeti
160E
Info
E-bike? From the Yeti? Yes!
It took 5 years of development. Yeti took the time. An e-bike for racing purposes simply cannot be based on the concept of a conventional bike. That's just the way it is. Higher weight, different centre of gravity, different forces and different acting. That's why Yeti introduced the Sixfinity system, which is developed only for the specifics of a motorized bike. Sixfinity is a virtual six-pin overdrive system that is overdriven to achieve the same unique and effective suspension characteristics as the Switch Infinity system found on other Yeti models. Plus, with a flip chip that allows you to vary the degree of progressivity in three stages.
Yeti even made their own handlebars for a clean wiring harness design. This is routed perfectly through the new input ports for completely silent operation. The UDH footpeg and Shimano EP8 motor with 630 Wh battery is a safe bet.

MULES AND PROTOTYPES
It takes time to save time. Validation from our test team and racers was essential to the development process from concept mules, to full carbon prototypes.
FEATURES
E-Bike kinemaTICS
With the right suspension an e-MTB can do things a pedal bike can’t, taking you further, faster. Sixfinity delivers a suspension design that is expertly tuned for the added weight, speed and demands of an e-MTB.
efficiency and traction optimized
At sag, the anti-squat value is lower than our traditional bikes. This is ideal for the greater acceleration and higher speed hits while pedaling on an e-MTB.

EFFICIENCY AND TRACTION. OPTIMIZED.
TRACTION AND COMPOSURE. ACHIEVED.
Due to the greater mass of an e-MTB, we reduced the anti-rise magnitude to 65%. Anti-rise remains consistent across the entire travel range, striking a balance for the unique demands of the added weight and power of an e-MTB.
More trails. More laps. More of what you love. Sure, any e-MTB technically delivers “more”. More for the 160E is added composure, speed and agility. See also personal bests, wins, and championships.

The American brand YETI was at the birth of mountain bikes and is one of the absolute leaders in the MTB category. YETI Cycles was founded in 1984 by John Parker, a former motorcycle racer who at the time was looking for a new meaning in life after a serious accident. Together with his friends Eric and Chris Herting and the now legendary Frank "The Welder" Wadelton, they founded one of the greatest bike legends of all time - YETI Cycles.
