What do you mean amplify. Weight transfer gives you more grip. It only makes sense to have more braking power (i.e. bigger rotor) in the front. QED: literally every car on the road. If it has a rear weight bias (Porsche for example) or a near 50 50 split, the difference front to rear is smaller, but still present.

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 curious how similar the MT's suspension feels to the MTe — especially with the MTe's ability to feel like the rear is 160mm when you need it —with it weighing ~10 pounds less. Curious to hear more!

One big tech not and one small tech note from World Champs pit bits- As y'all mentioned, Schwalbe now makes a 32" Radial Gravity Pro Magic Mary, which is a big deal because that makes it the first truly heavy duty 32" tire from any brand. Previously Neko was running an EXO+ Dissector up front on his 32" Frameworks DH bike at Mountain Creek. He said the EXO+ front tire felt fine and didn't bug him, which is nuts, and makes me suspect that the 32" front wheel could actually feel really really good with a proper DH tread, casing...

iirc, troy's used that rotor combo at VDS and other steep tracks before.

Martin Maes is running the same modified dropouts on his 32" fork as Nico had. (Stolen from Pink site)

Yeah rule number one of illegal trail building is don't use any wood or screws. Besides the fact that it looks more illegal and permanent than piles of dirt, my understanding is that wooden structures of any sort leave the land manager more legally exposed. Crashing and getting hurt on a dirt trail is different in the eyes of the law than crashing and getting hurt on a structure made of imported construction materials that should have been permitted and engineered for safety.

Simcik Added a reply to Yeti Sixfinity Bikes - MT, LT, MTe, LTe Models - Impressions, Setup Help, Discussion
8/25/2026 12:26pm 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...

The SixFinity mules from 2016 and 2019 are super cool to see. That's a looooooong time ago, and I didn't realize they've been kicking this idea around for that long.

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...

Simcik Added a reply to DT Swiss DEG DF
8/25/2026 6:59am Pretty sure DT Swiss is the only one with DEG size ratchets. They are much bigger than those used in the standard and EXP ratchets in DT hubs. I think some of the other brands are using similar sized ratchets to those in the standard DT hubs. Enve I think runs bigger but I am not sure if they are...

I believe we're looking into the Push Sub-Chamber in that fork. The knob at the top of the Sub-Chamber closes a valve that either shuts off or opens up that air chamber, which results in more or less air spring ramp from the ambient air inside the coil-sprung stanchion. I never took my Sub-Chamber apart while I had the Nine One here (it's back at Push right now for a top secret tune up), but that image looks a lot like Darren's description of how the Sub-Chamber works. Also worth mentioning that it works exactly as promised. It was a...
