Sixfinity For The Win?
Exploring the Future of eMTB Suspension: The New Yeti MTe and Its Sixfinity Suspension System
In the dynamic world of mountain biking, innovation is the name of the game. Riders constantly seek more exhilarating experiences and better ride dynamics, making manufacturers rise to the challenge, developing technologies that redefine the boundaries of what bikes can do. Standing at the forefront of this evolution is the new Yeti MTe, a bike that, thanks in large part to its state-of-the-art 6-bar suspension system, is earning rave reviews and turning heads within the biking community.
A New Era for Yeti: The 6-Bar Revolution
The Yeti MTe is a remarkable leap towards the Sixfinity system that we first saw on the 160e, then on the prototype DH bike, and now this. While Yeti’s previous Switch Infinity system set a high standard, the introduction of the 6-bar "Sixfinity" suspension on the MTe marks a significant departure—and a compelling one at that.
Unmatched Traction and Performance
One of the standout attributes of the Yeti MTe is its incredible rear-wheel traction. Whether you're powering up steep pitches or navigating technical sections on descents, the six-bar system keeps the bike glued to the ground. This isn't just ordinary grip—it's confidence-inspiring traction that elevates your climbing efficiency and stability. The nearly dragless motor complements this, delivering a seamless and powerful riding experience.
But the benefits don't stop at climbing. When you sit up and brake hard coming into a turn, the MTe shines. The bike tracks with precision through rough sections, enhancing your control and boosting your confidence to push your limits. Similar systems might struggle with braking performance, but the MTe's suspension design manages to deliver superior stability, enabling riders to tackle challenging terrains with less hesitation.
The Sixfinity System: Designed for eMTB Excellence
What makes the Sixfinity system so well-suited for eMTBs? It provides a level of customization and balance that traditional systems struggle to match. eMTB riders often face unique challenges, such as managing additional weight and maintaining efficient power transfer, and this is where the 6-bar linkage truly excels. Its ability to fine-tune anti-squat and anti-rise characteristics ensures that pedal bob is minimized and braking remains precise—key features for maximizing an eMTB’s potential.
The Ride Experience: Smooth, Confident, Reassuring
The MTe’s frontier-pushing suspension setup ensures a smoother ride over rugged terrain, allowing for a more enjoyable experience whether you're a seasoned rider or new to the trails. The stability and comfort offered by the Sixfinity system translate into a ride that feels almost intuitive—one of those bikes that seems to respond to your thoughts before your inputs.
Test It Yourself: Join the Revolution
For those eager to experience the Sixfinity design firsthand, the opportunity awaits. We are offering demos for the Yeti MTe in both Medium and Large. The Medium features a full, all new XTR Di2 build kit. While our large features the highly anticipated Fox Podium fork. We highly recommend taking the time to try it out and feel the difference in traction, support, and the new motor.
As the bike community continues to embrace electric innovations, Yeti’s MTe with its 6-bar suspension design stands as a beacon of what the future holds—a testament to the thrilling possibilities of modern mountain biking. Whether you're tackling your local trail or embarking on a new adventure, the Yeti MTe is ready to elevate your ride.
