Mountain Jerk Added a reply to Yeti Sixfinity Bikes - MT, LT, MTe, LTe Models - Impressions, Setup Help, Discussion
8/26/2026 8:51am Did Yeti provide any user setup guidance in relation to the 3 leverage rates? It's great to have options, but I think a "Start here, if you ride this type of terrain, try this.." would be helpful. Having spent ample time on the MTe, and still loving it, I found my favorite setting, but it's not necesarily straight forward. I'm...

Last spring I hopped on an MTe mule. For me and how I ride these days it was spot on. The power feels more natural than other e-bikes. Felt like I had power for days rather than riding something that felt like it had a throttle. The reduced weight kept it feeling like an analog bike when descending or maneuvering on trail. The rear end tracks crazy well. Mid way through the first test ride I knew I was getting one. I got mine last summer and it has been an awesome bike for me. I ride it more than...

The past two years has seen Yeti steadily expand its Sixfinity suspension platform to more models. We figured this new era of bikes was worthy of discussion, so we’ve created this forum for riders to compile questions, get answers, provide setup tips, and resolve issues. Below is an overview of the Sixfinity design, plus details, assets, and Vital's coverage of each bike. Sixfinity Explained Yeti debuted Sixfinity back in 2021 with their first-ever e-bike, the 160e. However, development began as far back as 2016, with 27.5-inch alloy mules built around the SB66 and SB95. These proof-of-concept bikes led Yeti to...

Mountain Jerk Liked a product review FIRST RIDE - Orbea’s New Wild LT with Custom RS Tuned Avinox M

Orbea’s Wild has long been a benchmark in the long travel eMTB category. We’ve spent ample time on many of the Wild models throughout the past few years. In 2022, we were along for the ride when Wild relaunched as an enduro race eMTB. In 2025, we spent a season aboard the Bosch Generation 5-equipped model . Each version set a new standard—a stiff frame, potent power, and uncompromising geometry capable of technical climbs and descents. The Wild’s reputation has been solidified with numerous media awards and an entry in the UCI DH World Cup, sans motor. Fast forward...

I didn't ride the previous bike. The current bike, while still mostly glued to the ground, is at least predictable and the Rock Shox suspension is active and supportive. It's not a flickable or playful ride per se, but that's not it's intended purpose.

1. Riding on a regular basis again. My first few years with Vital I didn't have the best work-life balance. Managed to log the most time in the saddle I ever have this year (based on strava, which is lyf3) 2. Mechanical Transmission. It's what I would buy and ride if I wasn't so fortunate to be in the industry 3. Trying to optimize my recovery after getting a Garmin watch. It's pushed me to create better sleep habits, drink less, and be more in tune with how my body is chugging along week to week. Highly recommend if you...

I disagree. I don't think after months and months of testing we would have uncovered more about the bikes that would offset the extra time/cost we'd have put in. To be clear, this was not a scientific test. Also, I'm not sure what kinda budget you think we got over here but it does not include months of testing in a bike park. The goal was to put down a timed run on a familiar track after we had each bike setup and feeling comfortable to see how times compared against how we felt on the bikes. And to help...

Sure, because owning one means dealing with the crappy headset once in a year, vs how it rides on every ride brings clarity on what is actually important.

Good eye. Yep, lost it (not on the garage floor this time), and Orbea sent a replacement.
