YETI 160E KIT T1 XT BIKE

The 160E is Yeti's newest e-mtb. The bike is fitted with a specially developed, dedicated suspension called Sixfinity, and is totally different to what we have seen on the SB66, SB6 and SB150. This brand new suspension is specially designed and tuned to work with an electric motor.
The Sixfinity layout, patented by Yeti, is a 6-bar linkage whose lower linkage, called the Switch Link, has similar behaviour to the Switch Infinity. Sixfinity can be adjusted to match 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 begins to rotate upwards until the inversion point where it reverses rotation and rotates downwards. The suspension, in the SAG zone, i.e. when pedalling, remains neutral thanks to a very high and constant anti-squat level, between 100% and 109%: pedalling does not interfere with the rear suspension as long as the switch-link rotates upwards.
At the point of inversion, i.e. at about 80-90 mm of travel, when you are no longer pedalling, the suspension becomes progressive and behaves like a classic Yeti suspension.
This bike is therefore designed to provide maximum traction and stability while motor assistance is active, i.e. while pedalling.
To prevent the action of the rear brake from inhibiting the operation of the suspension. on the Sixfinity suspension, an anti-rise level of 65% has been adopted at around 50-60 mm of travel, i.e. in the Sag zone, which is a lower percentage than on the Mtb Yeti. This allows the rear wheel to remain well adhered to the ground at all times and not upset the geometry of the bike when riding downhill while braking.
You can also vary the suspension linkage ratio: the linkage ratio tells you how many mm the shock compresses as the suspension is compressed. The ratio varies as the suspension operates.
The bike mounts the Shimano EP8 motor, 160mm travel, and 29" wheels. The 29" wheels are fast, the carriage is quite short, and thanks to the new suspension layout it is possible to accommodate the Shimano EP8 motor without keeping the rear wheel too far away. In fact, the wagon measures 44.6 cm which, with a 29" wheel, is a very good result for an e-Mtb with 160 mm travel.
The battery is semi-integrated, has a capacity of 630 watts and is manufactured by Shimano: the battery is attached to the down tube and protected by a cover: this solution facilitates charging should it be carried out away from the bike.
Steering angle of 64.5° with the 170 mm fork and offset of 44 mm, seat tube of 78° effective, reach of 460 mm in size M, carriage of 446 mm, bottom bracket height (approx.) 350 mm on all sizes.
Internal cable routing within the frame and, if a wireless drivetrain is fitted, the cable routing can be configured accordingly. On frames M to XL a bottle cage can be mounted on the down tube.
