Yeti Cycles 160E T1 - 2022

WE DON’T PARTY UNTIL THE RACE IS OVER. SO WE TOOK OUR TIME TO DESIGN AN E-MTB THE WAY A YETI E-MTB HAS TO BE DESIGNED: READY TO TOE THE LINE AT EWS-E RACES. MEET THE 160E: THE WORLD’S FIRST RACE SPECIFIC E-MTB.

WHILE EVERYONE ELSE WAS RACING TO MAKE AN E-MTB,
WE WERE MAKING AN E-MTB FOR RACING.

NEW SUSPENSION PLATFORM : 1
Developed specifically for the demands of an e-MTB, Sixfinity brings unprecedented tunability, speed and performance to the 160E

YEARS OF INTENSE DEVELOPMENT : 5
With product teams, engineers, and athletes working as a cohesive development unit, this is Yeti at its finest

CUSTOM MOLDS : 25
Deeper integration. Intuitive control management. One slick looking
e-MTB.

MULES & PROTOTYPES: 6
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.

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.
Pedaling an e-MTB isn’t relegated to the low-end gear ranges. Across the entire cassette, there is a very small change in anti-squat (9%) in the pedal zone. Now, suspension performs consistently and predictably, regardless of gear choice. Bottom line: use the power efficiently in every single gear.

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.

COMPOSED, PLANTED, WICKEDLY FAST.
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.

FAST. BEYOND THE POWER.
The 25Km/h motor limit can be easily outpaced by racers. As a foundational design requirement, the 160E continues to elevate its performance and composure, the faster you go.

TUNABLE LEVERAGE RATE.
Every track is different. Every racer has their ride preferences. Sixfinity has an adjustable leverage rate progression that provides a dynamic range of suspension feel. All while preserving geometry, anti-squat and anti-rise characteristics, and only a minute impact to wheel travel at +/-2mm.

GLOBAL SUPPORT. FOR GLOBAL COMPETITION.
Working with our long-time race partner,
the Shimano EP8 motor and 630-watt hour
battery delivers consistent power to attack
any terrain. Best of all, the system has
hassle free, world-wide support.

SLEEK INTERNAL WIRING MANAGEMENT.
Integrated, internal wiring delivers a clean look for a zip tie free cockpit.

GUIDING MORE THAN THE CHAIN.
Factory race team sponsor, OneUp Components bridged the gap between our racing and engineering needs. Every 160E comes stock with a custom chain guide to prevent chain derailments and offer rattle-free cable management for mechanical drivetrains.
