2026 Yeti LTE

[Bradleybourbon]

Was happy to see this! We debated over a few different full power bikes before deciding on the LTE. Husband has had an Orbea Rise since 2021, and a Heckler SL since 2023, loves both, but wanted more battery range and power for long self shuttle DH days.

Same for me. Having the Trek EX-e with two range extenders I could do some big days and plan to keep it for days when I need a little more suffering in my life. I found the LTe composed and ready to rip out of the box. 100% of what the article claims it to be. It doesn’t feel any different than my Fuel in terms of weight.

I’m not saying it isn’t worth it. The quoted T3 price was good enough to make me not even consider the frame only though. I have the components on the ready including a Push Nine.One fork and a set of i9 wheels. I might part out my T4 and go with those components, I need to ride it first to know.

What shop was willing to do a frameset for $7k?

I am not gonna post what shops are selling bikes for in a public forum. I will invite my sales rep to this thread and they can reach out.

This is great to hear! Hoping the LTE ships soon... So excited to see it in person. So funny about the 2 range extenders for the EX-e... We have 2 for our Rises as well. I think my husband is also going keep one of his SL bikes, for local trails, and maybe commuting to the gym when it's nice out. The LTE + an SL bike is a great combo

Anyone else in the UK keep getting their delivery date pushed back? Ordered a T3 in October for mid November delivery and still waiting.

I kept getting my date pushed back and just apologised to the dealer, I didn't want to be not knowing when I'd get it and bought from a dealer who had stock in the size and colour I wanted. I don't have a local dealer so had to travel.

It's a stretch bro but I'd love to know what you'd sell me a CXR frameset for? I'd take the hardwired transmission drivetrain as well, X01 it higher only.
PM would be just fine.

I just checked out your Instagram(s)... Cool to see you work with N+1 Bikes! Husband and I were in Louisville last weekend so we stopped by to check out the shop in person. Met Shaun and talked for ages! The shop was incredible...massive inventory of everything.

Thank you so much, I appreciate it!

Nice to see it won emtb f the year, those who have one know why it won, those who haven't are unaware of how good it is. It's just a shame it's not available as a much more affordable price for many others to enjoy.

Mine is coming soon, probably in 2 weeks. getting a t4.

Is there a thread about the best Motorsettings for bosch? i need something the is like auto minus battery friendly on the levo gen 4.
I hope a better fender style for the podium is released soon by some aftermarket company. Seems like visionvelo.eu is working on one.

For clarity...

Just for clarity...It was not a frameset only sale. It was a full T4 build....

I was wondering what the max seatpost insertion was. I found this in the user manual that might help others.

 

[slickrock]

FYI, some quick thoughts about Sixfinity suspension that came up on the another thread with Suns. And this one before it. Cross-posting, guilty as charged.

 

[singletrackminded]

That's a very substantial weight decrease.
Besides the battery, what did you swap to drop the other 3#s?

The weigh loss is cumulative. Biggest savings, in addition to swapping the battery 800W (2 Lbs) was ditching the stock
heavy RS ASX seatpost in favor of a One Up mechanical post w/ Ti rail saddle. Also swapping the Sram Maven brakes for Formula Cura 4 brakes and I9 stem. I also switched to 155mm Carbon cranks, partly to save weight but mostly to improve cadence (the Bosch Motor prefers to run at about 80-90 cadence) and to reduce pedal strikes. 155mm cranks are becoming popular for those reasons and is barley noticible in the pedal stroke yet offers the benefits mentioned.

Guys I have a NIB Bosch 600w power tube for sale in the US if anyone is looking to lighten up their ride.

 

[GT JERSEY]

I’m in Jersey, Channel Islands and picked up my LTe T3 on 21 November after it had had the Invisiframe kit applied. Been out a dozen times and ridden just over 400km on local trails. It’s an outstanding ride and everything they said in the PB article rings true. I have the feeling the thrill of riding it is only going to get better over time.

Hi guys from north west part of Italy.
I received my T3 five days ago (31/12). I tested twice. Much much better than 160E I had couple of years ago.
Better than PIVOT SHUTTLE LT 2024 my previous bike especially from the point of view of suspension.
Bosh Gen 5 superb!
In a Italian review magazine, they defined the descend behavior like a "flying carpet"! It is !

Curious to discover the behavior in mullet configuration on narrow ligurian trails!.

Ciao.

 

[Suns_PSD]

I'd be curious how much climbing a lot of you guys can do on the LTe on a full charge till empty.

The descriptions of the rear suspension of this bike sound like how people describe the rear suspension of the Mid/ high pivot bikes, but without the additional weight and complexity.

 

[sethimus]

Mid/ high pivot bikes, but without the additional weight and complexity.

why exactly should these have more weight and more complexity? especially compared to a six-bar?

 

[Suns_PSD]

Idler chainring problems seem to be pretty common (I've never owned one) when perusing the threads. Higher than usual drag, weight & maintenance seems pretty typical. There is discussion right now in the E-Druid thread about the drag from the idler, for example.

I'm sure that you like your Rogue and hopefully as it ages it remains trouble free. I hope to buy one too, but the LTe offers a compelling rear suspension design that seems to stand out from every other non-HP rear suspension design in its stated abilities to smooth out trail chatter while simultaneously avoiding the extra idler. That alone is the really appealing feature to me with HP bikes as my terrain is very natural and rocky and I have yet to encounter a suspension that can track superbly where I ride.

 

[sethimus]

you trade a longer chain and an idler on a simple 4-bar for a complex 6-bar design. the older yetis always were higher maintenance with their infinity link, the new design is not that long on the market so long term reliability is not known yet.

 

[HammerAndCycle]

The six bar has been around since the 160e so must be at least 5 years old. I've had 160e and only ever needed to change the bearings so no different to any other bike, same with my MTe.
