They’re faster on the race course Yeti designed their bike to have short chain stays and 29” wheels Some brands lengthen their chain stays to gain more rear wheel clearance. ![]() Mullets are a big trend in e-bikes due to this packaging challenge. Yeti were able to overcome the packaging challenges associated with the added size of the E-Drive unit to allow 160mm of travel, 29” wheels, and still maintain ideal geometry and kinematics A very medium (2mm) travel change occurs between rate change settings. For a plusher feel with more pop, flip to the 35% position (this setting is also ideal for a coil shock. For a more supported and efficient feel just flip to the 25% position. The stock position is 30% providing a balanced ride. Three leverage rate settings are available on the 160E frame. Sixfinity™ allows for a change to the leverage rate progression, while geometry, anti-squat, and anti-rise remain constant. The anti-rise is also very consistent across the entire travel range (8% delta), resulting in predictable geometry and handling in all instances Targeting this anti-rise percent strikes a balance between traction and preservation of geometry while braking. This is ideal as the suspension performs consistently and predictably regardless of gear choiceĭue to the greater mass of an E-MTB Yeti tuned the anti-rise to 65% at sag, a lower magnitude than their traditional bikes. Across the entire cassette range there is a very medium change in anti-squat (9%) in the pedaling zone. This is ideal for the greater acceleration and higher speeds experienced while seated on an E-MTB, finding the ideal balance between stability and traction.Ĭompared to a traditional bike, a greater range of gears are used when climbing with an E-MTB. The anti-squat values at sag are optimized at 100%, a lower magnitude than their traditional bikes. This allows the suspension to move more freely from chain forces later in the travel when pedaling is not a priority. ![]() The Switch link then reaches its inflection point and begins to rotate downwards causing the anti-squat to quickly drop off nonlinearly. It then “switches” directions and continues to rotate down - creating the unique anti-squat curve as shown below.Īs the Switch link rotates upwards, the 160E has a wide and flat band of high anti-squat in the pedaling zone providing a smooth, supported pedaling platform. The Sixfinity™ suspension layout allows for a stiff supportive chassis for the added E-MTB massįirst Sixfinity™ platform prototype developed in 2016Īs the suspension progresses through its travel, the Switch link initially rotates up until it reaches the inflection point. Yeti able to tune Sixfinity™ to have thei desired ride characteristics while accommodating the weight and speed that comes with a motor and battery Lower link switches direction similar to Switch Infinity New E exclusive Sixfinity™ suspension platform, Patent pending We are happy to send photos of each individual bike, please don't hesitate to reach out. ![]() They do show some signs of light use, nothing is worn-out, broken or unsafe to ride. Please note these are bikes from our Demo Fleet! These bikes have been professionally maintained for their entire life.
