Yeti’s first E-MTB the 160E

32 years ago Yeti was at the forefront of the mountain bike world and our sisterzine Mountain Bike Action actually helped design one of their early race bikes. Now their stepping to the front of the line in the e-mountain bike world with their new 160E.

Yeti set out to make a bike that will be competitive at the pro Enduro World Series rounds. With 29″ wheels, and weighing in at only 50lbs it shouldn’t have a problem getting up to speed. The power plant is the Shimano EP8 with 85nm of torque.

THE PATENTED SIXFINITY REAR SUSPENSION DESIGN

• New E exclusive SixfinityTM suspension platform,
Patent pending
• 6-Bar linkage
• Lower link switches direction similar to
Switch Infinity
• We’re able to tune SixfinityTM to have our desired
ride characteristics while accommodating the
weight and speed that comes with a motor
and battery
• The SixfinityTM suspension layout allows for a
stiff supportive chassis for the added E-MTB mass
• First SixfinityTM platform prototype developed
in 2016
