CONGRATULATIONS
ON YOUR PURCHASE
OF A NEW YETI.
We are condent your new bicycle will
exceed your expectations for value,
performance, and ride quality. Each
frameset and component has been custom
specied and designed to enhance your
riding experience. Whether you are a
beginner cyclist, or a seasoned pro, your
Yeti bicycle will provide endless hours of
two-wheeled fun.
This model specic manual is designed to
be used in conjunction with the general Yeti
Owner’s Manual and the manuals supplied
by the suspension manufacturers. If you
did not receive the Yeti owner’s manual or
the manual provided by the suspension
manufacturer, download the materials o
the Internet, or contact your local dealer.
Bicycling can be a hazardous activity
even under the best of circumstances.
Proper maintenance of your bicycle is your
responsibility and when done properly helps
reduce the risk of injury and damage to your
bicycle. The 160E is made specically for
o-road use only.
This manual outlines basic setup and
maintenance recommendations of your new
Yeti. Because it is impossible to anticipate
every situation or condition that may occur
during the assembly, setup, and maintenance
of your bicycle, Yeti recommends that all
service and repairs be performed by your
local authorized Yeti Dealer.
This manual contains many “Warnings” and
“Cautions” concerning the consequences
of failure to maintain or inspect your bicycle.
The word “Warning” indicates a potentially
hazardous situation in which, if not avoided,
could result in serious injury or death.
The word “Caution” indicates a potentially
hazardous situation in which, if not avoided
may result in minor injuries or damage to
your bicycle or a component of your bicycle.
Be sure to read and understand all of the
Warnings and Cautions listed in the manual.
WARNING: Make sure you review and understand the warnings, instructions, and content of this manual and
accompanying manuals for your bicycle.
WARNING: Technological advances have made bicycles and bicycle components more complex and the pace of
innovation is increasing. It is impossible for this manual or the accompanying manuals to provide all the information
required to properly repair and/or maintain your bicycle. In order to help minimize the chances of an injury, it is critical
for you to have work performed by an authorized Yeti retailer.
WARNING: Mounting biking is an inherently dangerous activity. The user frequently performs “Unsafe Maneuvers,” so
be aware, and make sure you have the requisite skills to operate a mountain bike. This risk is assumed by the user.

THE LOWDOWN
ON THE 160E AND
ITS FEATURES.
1 SIXFINITY PATENT PENDING SUSPENSION SYSTEM
The 160E delivers 160MM of travel with our patent pending Sixnity Technology. Ecient
pedaling performance pairs with a supportive yet active feel when the going gets rough.
2 HIGH MODULUS CARBON FIBER MAIN FRAME AND SWING ARM
High modulus carbon provides a sti, strong and light weight chassis.
3 FLOATING COLLET AXLE SYSTEM ON PIVOTS EXTENDS BEARING LIFE
Floating colleted pivot axles help create a sti interface between the front and rear triangles
of the frame. Enduro Max sealed bearings keep things moving freely at the pivots.
4 POWERFUL EP8 DRIVE UNIT AND RANGE EXTENDING 630WH BATTERY
Driven by Shimano’s EP8 drive unit you have 85 Nm of torque at your disposal. Paired with
a 630Wh battery, you can focus less on battery life and more on shredding miles of trail.
5 LEVERAGE RATE FLIP CHIP
Unique to Yeti’s Sixnity suspension platform has the ability to change the leverage rate.
Flip the rate chip to suit your riding style, the trail of the day.
6 INTEGRATED HEAD TUBE (41MM/52MM)
Using an integrated head tube design on the 160E allows for a larger head tube
with more area, which results in increased stiness, and lower overall ride height without
compromising any performance.
7 CUSTOM REINFORCED FRAME COVERS AND RIBBED CHAIN GUARDS TO
DECREASE CHAIN SLAP NOISE
Custom reinforced frame covers keep the frame protected from any direct impacts and
prevents dirt and debris from damaging critical frame components. Reducing the annoying
sounds caused by chain slap, the 160E ribbed rubber chainstay and seatstay guards keep
things quiet while riding and protect the frame.
8 INTERNALLY MOLDED CARBON TUBES AND CABLE TRAYS FOR HASSLE-FREE
CABLE ROUTING AND A QUIET BIKE
The 160E is designed with rattle-free cable ports, down tube cable trays and internally
molded routing tubes in the chainstay keeping the bike quiet and clean looking while
reducing cable rub and overall maintenance.
9 INTEGRATED AXLE AND UNIVERSAL DERAILLEUR HANGER SYSTEM
Dedicated 12 x 148 Boost dropouts with SRAM’s universal derailleur hanger provide
strength, stiness and easy hanger and wheel installation.
10 UNINTERRUPTED SEAT TUBE FOR COMPATIBILITY WITH LONGER TRAVEL
DROPPER POSTS
Getting the saddle out of the way allows you to tear down the steepest descents without
worrying if your saddle is going to buck you. The 160E’s uninterrupted seat tube design lets
you t the longest dropper possible for your saddle height.
