MTe

THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO RIDE LIKE YOU ALWAYS KNEW YOU COULD. NOT BECAUSE THE MTe GIVES YOU 350 WATTS WHENEVER YOU WANT IT. BECAUSE IT WAS DESIGNED TO SHRED AS PRIORITY ONE. WITH ALL THE HELL-YES OF SIXFINITY, AND AN INNOVATIVE DRIVE UNIT THAT NEVER HOGS THE SPOTLIGHT. THE MTe IS A MOUNTAIN BIKE FIRST. THAT ALSO LETS YOU GET AWAY WITH IT. WELCOME TO THE GOOD GUILT.

MTe - The Totally Fair Advantage
The totally fair, unfair advantage. 

The MTe is how YETI does the lightweight eMTB. Killer Mountain Bike first. Designed to amplify every facet of new-school trail riding. We say we make the bikes we want to ride, and the MTe proves it in the best way.

Built around Sixfinity. Beyond every expectation.

We designed the MTe for MTB first. Built around the World Cup-winning suspension that athletes and editors around the globe are calling the best-performing mountain bike suspension they’ve ever ridden. Welcome to the hell-yes of Sixfinity.

EDR.4 Combloux - E-EDR - Ryan Gilchrist
Tuned by trial and victory.

We put every bit of knowledge acquired on our way to the top of the E-EDR World Cup series into the tune of Sixfinity, which is optimized for MTe’s TQ HPR60 drive unit power traits. On the MTe, all six members control the wheel path and the shock rate. Sixfinity allows for far greater independence when tuning for acceleration and deceleration, traction, and supportive suspension characteristics unique to a drive unit's demands.

Acceleration Response: 
Tuned for E.  

With Sixfinity, we tune pedaling efficiency at sag to maintain the same parabolic anti-squat curves seen with Switch Infinity. The curves are then scaled inversely to the MTe’s electric assist. As a result, the MTe anti-squat magnitudes are intentionally greater than the full power 160e, yielding an appropriate balance of traction and pedaling efficiency.   

Plus, as the Switch Link moves up, pedaling support is provided where desired, with a higher anti-squat centered at sag extending across the pedaling zone. As the Switch link moves down, the anti-squat sharply drops off for descending performance.

Deceleration response: Predictable control. 

Sixfinity is tuned to strike the ideal balance of traction and geometry preservation when braking. MTe’s anti-rise is consistent throughout suspension travel due to its linear curve. This puts Sixfinity in a performance class all to itself.

MTe Accessory Mount

ACCESSORY MOUNT.

Keeping tools easily accessible and quiet, the strapless accessory mount takes tools or tubes securely attached to the frame. Now your bib shorts and pant pockets stay tool-free.

MTe Tuned Harmonics

TUNED HARMONICS.

The TQ HPR60 drive-unit is centered around an oscillating motion of the cycloidal gear reduction mechanism. Translation for the rider: power is applied evenly and naturally. Nothing harshes a ride like rattles and whirrs from the drive unit. The TQ HPR60 drive-unit also offers virtually silent frame chassis, your friends won’t even hear it.

MTe Seemless Display

SEAMLESS DISPLAY.

Fully integrated, enhanced color display shows battery level and available range. Also offers seamless smartphone integration thanks to tried-and-true ANT+ and Bluetooth standards. TQ display clearly shows input, drive unit power, rpm along with a catalog of features for the rider.

MTe Aligned for Speed

ALIGNED FOR SPEED.

The MTe carries forward our World Cup winning, precision-machined floating collet axle designed linkage. Using standard sized cartridge bearings our floating collet axles boost a perfectly aligned shock and smooth linkage that lasts.

MTe Tidy and Smooth Ride

A TIDY AND SMOOTH RIDE.

Our proprietary, in-house designed Yeti carbon handlebar is engineered for a compliant ride while offering internal e-MTB routing for a clean cockpit.

MTe Integrated Frame Protection

INTEGRATED FRAME PROTECTION.

On the muddiest race days, the integrated rear fender keeps debris from impeding suspension movement of the Sixfinity switch link.To protect against rock strikes, the MTe features a downtube guard that doubles as an access door, facilitating battery swaps and service access to internally routed cables.

MTe - Myth Busting Geometry

Myth busting geometry. 

We started with the multi-champion geometry of Richie’s SB160 and balanced it with our award-winning trail ruler SB140. It’s a geometry work of wonder that stays consistent whether setup in full 29 or running mixed wheels. And if you think the motor messes up the balance, don’t. While our riders call the MTe the most planted YETI in the lineup, when it comes time to throw it around, the MTe shreds like a trail bike should.
