YETI 160E C1 SLX FOX FACTORY BIKE

YETI 160E BIKE KIT C1 SLX FOX FACTORY

The 160E is Yeti’s brand-new e-mtb. The bike features a dedicated suspension, specifically developed for it, called Sixfinity, and it is totally different from what has been seen on the SB66, SB6 and SB150. This brand-new suspension is specifically designed and tuned to work with an electric motor.
The Sixfinity layout, patented by Yeti, is a 6-bar linkage whose lower linkage, called Switch Link, has a behavior similar to that of the Switch Infinity. Sixfinity can be adjusted to have behavior suitable for the weight and speed of an e-MTB. The structural stiffness thus adapts to the weight and mass of an e-MTB.
The more the suspension compresses, the more the Switch Link starts to rotate upwards until the inversion point where it reverses rotation and turns downwards. In the SAG area, that is while pedaling, the suspension remains neutral thanks to a very high and constant level of anti-squat, between 100% and 109%: pedaling does not interfere with the rear suspension as long as the switch-link rotates upwards.
At the inversion point, that is at about 80-90 mm of travel, when you are no longer pedaling, the suspension becomes progressive and behaves like a classic Yeti suspension.
This bike has therefore been designed to ensure maximum traction and stability while the motor assistance is active, that is while pedaling.
To prevent the action of the rear brake from inhibiting the operation of the suspension, the Sixfinity suspension has an anti-rise level of 65% at about 50-60 mm of travel, i.e. in the SAG area, which is a lower percentage than on Yeti MTBs. This allows the rear wheel to remain well adhered to the ground at all times and not upset the bike’s geometry when riding downhill while braking.
You can also vary the suspension’s leverage ratio: the leverage ratio indicates by how many mm the shock compresses as the suspension compresses. The ratio varies during the operation of the suspension.
The bike is equipped with the shimano EP801 motor, 160 mm of travel, and 29" wheels. The 29" wheels are fast, the rear triangle is fairly short, and thanks to the new suspension layout it is possible to house the shimano EP801 motor

01 without moving the rear wheel too far back. The rear triangle in fact measures 44.6 cm which, with a 29" wheel, is an excellent result for an e-MTB with 160 mm of travel.
The battery is semi-integrated, has a capacity of 630Wh and is produced by shimano: the battery is attached to the down tube and protected by a cover: this solution makes charging easier should it need to be performed away from the bike.
Head angle of 64.5° with the 170 mm fork and 44 mm offset, effective seat tube angle of 78°, reach of 460 mm in size M, chainstay of 446 mm, bottom bracket height (approx.) 350 mm on all sizes.
Internal cable routing in the frame and, if you mount a wireless drivetrain, the cable ports can be configured accordingly. On frames from M to XL it is possible to mount a bottle cage on the down tube.
