2022 Yeti 160E

2022 Yeti 160E

Yeti's most ambitious project yet.

This bike took five years of intense development, so you know it was perfected in every way. The new Sixfinity suspension was made for the demands of an e-MTB, bringing unprecedented tunability, speed and performance. It can do things that a pedal bike can't.

The anti-squat value is also lower than other Yetis. That's for greater acceleration and higher speed hits. We can't forget about the motor and battery. They deliver a consistent power attack on any terrain. The 160E is for more personal bests, wins, and championship titles.
