Yeti 160e Complete Turq Series 29" E-Bike - C3 GX AXS TRANSMISSION Build

• New E exclusive Sixfinity™ suspension platform, Patent pending
• 6-Bar linkage
• Lower link switches direction similar to Switch Infinity
• Yeti able to tune Sixfinity™ to have thei desired ride characteristics while accommodating the weight and speed that comes with a motor and battery
• The Sixfinity™ suspension layout allows for a stiff supportive chassis for the added E-MTB mass
• First Sixfinity™ platform prototype developed in 2016

SIXFINITY IN MOTION

As the suspension progresses through its travel, the Switch link initially rotates up until it reaches the inflection point. It then “switches” directions and continues to rotate down - creating the unique anti-squat curve as shown below.

ANTI-SQUAT

As 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 Switch link then reaches its inflection point and begins to rotate downwards causing the anti-squat to quickly drop off non[1]linearly. This allows the suspension to move more freely from chain forces later in the travel when pedaling is not a priority.

The anti-squat values at sag are optimized at 100%, a lower magnitude than their traditional bikes. 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.

Compared to a traditional bike, a greater range of gears are used when climbing with an E-MTB. Across the entire cassette range there is a very medium change in anti-squat (9%) in the pedaling zone. This is ideal as the suspension performs consistently and predictably regardless of gear choice

ANTI-RISE

Due to the greater mass of an E-MTB Yeti tuned the anti-rise to 65% at sag, a lower magnitude than their traditional bikes. Targeting this anti-rise percent strikes a balance between traction and preservation of geometry while braking. The anti-rise is also very consistent across the entire travel range (8% delta), resulting in predictable geometry and handling in all instances

ADJUSTABLE L E V E R A G E RATE

Sixfinity™ allows for a change to the leverage rate progression, while geometry, anti-squat, and anti-rise remain constant.

Three leverage rate settings are available on the 160E frame. The stock position is 30% providing a balanced ride. For a more supported and efficient feel just flip to the 25% position. For a plusher feel with more pop, flip to the 35% position (this setting is also ideal for a coil shock. A very medium (2mm) travel change occurs between rate change settings.

SUSPENSION PACKAGING FOR E

• 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
• Mullets are a big trend in e-bikes due to this packaging challenge. Some brands lengthen their chain stays to gain more rear wheel clearance. Yeti designed their bike to have short chain stays and 29” wheels
• Why 29” wheels on the 160E? They’re faster on the race course

160E FEATURES:

• Boost spacing and SRAM UDH hanger
• 446mm chain stay
