THE LOWDOWN 

ON THE 160E AND 

ITS FEATURES.

1  SIXFINITY PATENT PENDING SUSPENSION SYSTEM 

 

 The 160E delivers 160MM of travel with our patent pending Sixfinity Technology. Efficient 
pedaling performance pairs with a supportive yet active feel when the going gets rough.

2  HIGH MODULUS CARBON FIBER MAIN FRAME AND SWING ARM

 

High modulus carbon provides a stiff, strong and light weight chassis.

3  FLOATING COLLET AXLE SYSTEM ON PIVOTS EXTENDS BEARING LIFE 

 

 Floating colleted pivot axles help create a stiff interface between the front and rear triangles 
of the frame. Enduro Max sealed bearings keep things moving freely at the pivots.

4  POWERFUL EP8 DRIVE UNIT AND RANGE EXTENDING 630WH BATTERY 

 

 Driven by Shimano’s EP8 drive unit you have 85 Nm of torque at your disposal. Paired with 
a 630Wh battery, you can focus less on battery life and more on shredding miles of trail.

5  LEVERAGE RATE FLIP CHIP 

 

 Unique to Yeti’s Sixfinity suspension platform has the ability to change the leverage rate. 
Flip the rate chip to suit your riding style, the trail of the day.

6  INTEGRATED HEAD TUBE (41MM/52MM) 

 

 Using an integrated head tube design on the 160E allows for a larger head tube  
with more area, which results in increased stiffness, and lower overall ride height without 
compromising any performance.

7   CUSTOM REINFORCED FRAME COVERS AND RIBBED CHAIN GUARDS TO 

DECREASE CHAIN SLAP NOISE 

 

  Custom reinforced frame covers keep the frame protected from any direct impacts and 
prevents dirt and debris from damaging critical frame components. Reducing the annoying 
sounds caused by chain slap, the 160E ribbed rubber chainstay and seatstay guards keep 
things quiet while riding and protect the frame.

8   INTERNALLY MOLDED CARBON TUBES AND CABLE TRAYS FOR HASSLE-FREE 

CABLE ROUTING AND A QUIET BIKE

 

 The 160E is designed with rattle-free cable ports, down tube cable trays and internally 
molded routing tubes in the chainstay keeping the bike quiet and clean looking while 
reducing cable rub and overall maintenance.

9  INTEGRATED AXLE AND UNIVERSAL DERAILLEUR HANGER SYSTEM 

 

 Dedicated 12 x 148 Boost dropouts with SRAM’s universal derailleur hanger provide 
strength, stiffness and easy hanger and wheel installation.

10    UNINTERRUPTED SEAT TUBE FOR COMPATIBILITY WITH LONGER TRAVEL 

DROPPER POSTS 

 

 Getting the saddle out of the way allows you to tear down the steepest descents without 
worrying if your saddle is going to buck you. The 160E’s uninterrupted seat tube design lets 
you fit the longest dropper possible for your saddle height.
