BICYCLE YETI 160E KIT C1 SLX FOX FACTORY

BICYCLE YETI 160E 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 completely different from what has been seen on the SB66, SB6, and SB150. This 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, behaves similarly to Switch Infinity. Sixfinity can be adjusted to have a response appropriate to the weight and speed of an e-MTB. Structural rigidity thus adapts to the weight and mass of an e-MTB.
The more the suspension compresses, the more the Switch Link starts to rotate upward until the inversion point where it reverses rotation and rotates downward. In SAG, i.e., during pedaling, the suspension remains neutral thanks to a very high and constant anti-squat level, between 100% and 109%: pedaling does not interfere with the rear suspension until the switch-link rotates upward.
At the inversion point, i.e., 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 was therefore designed to guarantee maximum traction and stability while the motor assist is active, i.e., while pedaling.
To prevent the action of the rear brake from inhibiting suspension operation, the Sixfinity suspension has been set with an anti-rise level of 65% at about 50-60 mm of travel, i.e., in the SAG zone, which is a lower percentage than Yeti MTBs. This allows the rear wheel to stay firmly in contact with the ground and not disrupt the bike’s geometry when descending while braking.
You can also vary the suspension leverage ratio: the leverage ratio indicates how many mm the shock absorber compresses when the suspension compresses. The ratio varies during the suspension’s operation.
The bike is equipped with a Shimano EP801 motor, 160 mm travel, and 29" wheels. The 29" wheels are fast, the chainstay is fairly short, and thanks to the new suspension scheme it is possible to accommodate the Shimano EP801 motor

01 without keeping the rear wheel too far away. The chainstay measures 44.6 cm, which, with a 29" wheel, is an excellent result for an e-MTB with 160 mm travel.
The battery is semi-integrated, has a capacity of 630Wh and is produced by Shimano: the battery is attached to the downtube and protected by a cover: this solution facilitates charging if it must be performed away from the bike.
Steering angle of 64.5° with a 170 mm fork and 44 mm offset, effective seat tube angle 78°, reach 460 mm in size M, chainstay 446 mm, bottom bracket height (approx.) 350 mm across all sizes.
Internal cable routing in the frame and, if a wireless drivetrain is installed, the cable pass-through can be configured appropriately. On frames from M to XL it is possible to mount a bottle cage on the downtube.
