Cult brand Yeti was in no rush to make its debut in the eMTB segment. However, good things take time and the American brand knocked it out of the park with their first ever motorised bike, so we decided to pit the best eMTB of the year against the hottest analogue enduro bruisers of the […]
It’s an eMTB!
Combines traction and composure
Intuitive handling
It’s an eMTB! ;)
Annoying EP8 clunking noise
Short-travel dropper post and long seat tube restrict freedom of movement

Yeti's race-ready e-mtb is built to go the distance.

Late to the game as Yeti is, it wasn’t without reason—Yeti wanted to get the 160E right from the beginning.

After building exciting mountain bikes for nearly four decades, the American cult brand is rightly considered one of the pioneers of mountain biking. However, Yeti were also one of the last to jump on the electric bandwagon. Now they’re determined to secure victory in our 2022 eMTB group test. Was the Yeti 160E T1 able to assert itself against the competition with its Shimano EP8 motor, 630 Wh battery and complex Sixfinity rear suspension?

Plush and Poppy Setting!
Pedaling and climbing traction
Stability at speed
Yeti specific EP8 tune
Fast
Looks good
Can feel a bit heavy at slower speeds
Can feel harsh in other suspension settings on square edge bumps
Code brakes aren’t up to the task

Masterful performance on all terrain types thanks to impeccable suspension and great geometry. The 160E is eye-wateringly expensive, though, and the EP-8 motor failed during testing but was replaced under Shimano’s warranty scheme. Therefore, my score is based on the bike’s performance alone.
Super-supple, supportive and progressive suspension sets new benchmark for enduro bikes
Well-considered geometry
Overall downhill capabilities hard to beat
Value for money isn’t great
Tyres are disappointing on a bike of this nature
EP-8 motor failed after a month of use
Impossible to evaluate longevity of pivot bearings during month-long test period

Long-awaited Yeti 160E T1 e-bike is built to race with a complex six-bar linkage that claims to bring efficiency and composure on the roughest descents.
Great handling and suspension balance. Confident cornering. Comfortable at pace.
Seat tube could be shorter. Heavy and could be more agile. Some heel rub with wide feet. Shimano charging port and battery release could be more refined. Very expensive.
