Yeti Cycles 160E T1 - 2022

Sixfinity was born to accommodate the added power and mass of an e-MTB. To increase pedaling efficiency given how an e-MTB is actually ridden when ridden hard. And to increase traction for the kind of speed an e-MTB can really deliver, with the right kinematics.

As the suspension progresses through its travel, the Switch link rotates up until it reaches the inflection point. It then "switches" directions and continues to rotate down – creating the unique anti-squat curves shown.

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.

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.

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.

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 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. So much so, Jared Graves has a new favorite bike.

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.

Like every Yeti model, our suspension and engineering teams refine the tune of the shock throughout the entire development process, to fully realize the capabilities of the suspension. Since Sixfinity inherently has a wider pedal zone and adjustable progression rates, our e-MTB tune prioritizes small bump sensitivity.
