Why the LT
The SB160 is among the most successful race bikes Yeti has ever built. Since its 2022 launch, Richie Rude, Slawomir Lukasik and the Yeti / FOX Factory team have taken it to three EDR World Cup overall titles, numerous stage wins, several national titles and the 2025 EDR World Championship.
Following a bike like that is no small task. Rather than building a replacement, Yeti started over – and after more than a decade of development, the Sixfinity platform moves from e-bikes to a pedal-powered enduro bike. Meet the YETI LT.
All six pivots precisely control the rear wheel path and drive the shock. Anti-squat, anti-rise and leverage rate can be tuned independently – and individually for every frame size.
Features
29" or mullet
A 29" or 27.5" rear wheel. The rear-end flip chip keeps the geometry, and a slacker head angle is available for the mullet setup.
Adjustable leverage rate
Rear-end progression of 15 %, 20 % or 25 % to suit your riding style.
Adjustable rear center
Interchangeable dropouts lengthen the rear center by 10 mm. Longer is more stable, shorter is more agile.
In-frame storage
For a bar, pump or tools. Includes the matching YETI storage bag.
AirTag mount
The frame has a dedicated place for an AirTag.

YETI Cycles is a legendary mountain bike brand founded in 1984 by John Parker, a former motorcycle racer who was searching for a new purpose in life after a serious accident. Together with his friends, including the now-iconic Frank “The Welder” Wadelton, they created one of the most influential brands in MTB history. From its inception, YETI has emphasized innovation and quality, leading to the creation of top-of-the-line carbon frames that have become a symbol of performance and reliability.
