The engineering teams have invested five years of development work: The rear end of the Yeti SB160E contains the so-called Rocker, Timing and Switch Links. In combination with a flip chip - or in other words, with a movable screw position on the lower shock eyelet above the motor bridge - different characteristics can be teased out of the rear triangle.

With a progression of 25%, the suspension should act linearly and efficiently. With 35% progression, the rear suspension should be particularly plush and in the middle position, the golden mean between "bounces well and irons everything away" is to be expected. The highlight of the so-called Sixfinity rear triangle is that the adjustable progression does not affect the anti-squat or the geometry.

The motor and battery data on the Yeti E-Fully are not particularly breathtaking, but very solid: the motor is the EP8 unit from Shimano, the battery has an output of 630 watt hours. There is also a lot of attention to detail here: the cabling for the display and remote is invisibly organized and located inside the handlebars.

The suspension travel is 170 millimetres at the front and rear, and the wheel size is 29 inches at the front and rear. And last but not least: the popular Yeti turquoise is available, while a second equipment variant comes in a matt gray. From the looks of it, the iconic yellow-turquoise color variants are (still) reserved for the in-house electric racing team. Yeti also sees the SB160E as particularly at home in this area of use.
