BETTER SHOCK TUNING

Yeti Cycles has been tuning their shocks in-house to ensure their kinematics pair seamlessly with their shocks. Using data acquisition and a shock dyno, they are able to correlate hours of ride testing, splitting hairs over tenths of millimetres, to deliver the most out of their suspension. Each new bike goes through countless hours of ride and lab testing with multiple, ground-up shock tunes before Yeti settles on the final tune.

The New Silhouette Of Speed

The refined main frame and swingarm silhouettes are more than just striking good looks — it’s an engineering approach that packages Switch Infinity and the shock linkage in a tighter, more efficient package with added impact clearance. Holistic frame chassis stiffness has increased, along with frame ground clearance on all new models.

Incredible Ride Feel From The Inside Out

Over the course of hundreds of virtual simulation comparisons and back-to-back carbon prototype testing, Yeti have refined their carbon layups to deliver consistent torsional stiffness and flex profiles across all frame sizes. The feel is precise yet compliant while structurally balancing light weight and durability.

Universally Ready

If a hanger bending crash occurs, the new SB160 uses the Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) interface — the industry standard mount for a rear derailleur. The UDH is available in nearly any bike shop, Yeti dealer or not.

Switch Infinity Recalculated

Discover the next-generation of translating pivot suspension designs. Setting new expectations for kinematics, longevity, sensitivity, and strength. All new T-series builds will be equipped with our new Switch Infinity system with improved seals, bearings and hardware. This will be backwards compatible too!

Speed Metal

Yeti’s new pivot designs use 100% standard sized cartridge bearings secured with precision-machined floating collet axles. All bearings are pressed into the linkage assembly vs. the swingarm or front triangle. The new floating collet pivot design uses standard sized cartridge bearings in precision and machined floating collet axles boosting longevity. The end result is perfect alignment and smooth suspension motion every time.

PATENTED COMPACT WISHBONE & NEW ULTRACOMPACT LINK

Yeti’s patented, two-piece wishbone shock extender is used on the SB160 ensuring optimal clamping, shock compatibility and ease of shock removal for longer travel applications. The shock extender optimises leverage rates while pushing the shock forward in the frame. This forward positioning allows for a large range of shock compatibility, decreases standover height, reduces shock tab sizes, increases water bottle compatibility and increases downtube clearance.

Cable Management

Internally routed cable tubes with secure closures at entry and exit points eliminate rattles and cable rub. Whether running a mechanical drivetrain and dropper or a wireless setup, cable management is intuitively easy and quiet.

Frame Protection

The new downtube protection system features two layers that work together. The foundation of the system is a rubber underguard that provides cushion against the frame. The external hard cap provides superior impact resistance. The new system brings edge to edge protection to the downtube and is easily replaceable. The hard cap is also removable to aid in dropper post cable routing.

Full Drop

As the capability of the Yeti bikes continues to increase, so does their ability to run modern day, full-stroke dropper posts. For 2023 seat tubes are shorter to allow for longer dropper posts.

THREADED CO-MOLDED BOTTOM BRACKET

BRACKET A threaded aluminium bottom bracket shell with internal ISCG-05 tabs is co-molded into the carbon during layup. No glued in BB shells here — this critical drivetrain interface is more durable, cleaner, and easier to service.

Upholding a time-tested, race-bred ethos that says nothing should hold a rider back from the sheer joy of untethered speed. Built off one of the most winning race platforms in EWS history, the SB160 is pure race machinery. Honed for more. Be fastest.

From Legacy To Dynasty. The Yeti/Fox Factory Team won 49 EWS stages, 11 EWS races, and 1 national series championship aboard the SB150. The SB160 builds momentum on this legacy of excellence. Honed. Refined. Even Effing Faster.

Why did it take so long to make the 160E? Yeti took the time to explore and build the 160E on an all new suspension platform, Sixfinity™. Allowing them to address the added power, weight and unique demands of an E-bike. Sure it took some time, but from what they learned along the way, it’ll save even more. The first E-bike built for racing, the 160E breaks new grounds. Features
