HOW BIG OF A ROTOR WILL FIT ON THE FRAME?
The 160E has a direct mount rear brake tab and can run a 180mm rotor without the need for a brake
adaptor. With the use of a brake adaptor the frame can accept up to a 220mm rotor.
CAN I RUN A STEALTH SEATPOST DROPPER ON THE 160E?
Yes. The 160E has routing options for stealth only.
WHAT CHAINLINE WAS THE 160E DESIGNED AROUND?
The 160E was designed around a 53mm and 55mm Boost chainline.
WHAT IS THE MAX SIZE SINGLE-CHAINRING THAT FITS ON THE 160E?
The 160E will only accept a 34t round ring.
DOES THE 160E HAVE ISCG MOUNTS?
No. The 160E has a custom top guide mount that is designed to work with the OneUp top guide.
WHAT TYPE OF SHOCK DOES THE 160E USE?
The 160E uses a 205 x 65mm Trunnion shock. Depending on the shock model, it can be locked out but
we recommend running it fully open for the best compliance and traction.
WHAT TYPE OF SHOCK HARDWARE DOES THE 160E USE?
The 160E uses custom hardware on both sides of the shock. The lower shock hardware is adjustable
so that you can tune the leverage rate to suit you riding style or terrain you are riding. Please see the
owners manual for further information.
CAN I PUT A COIL SHOCK ON MY 160E?
Yes, the 160E is designed to be compatible with both air and coil-sprung shocks. We would suggest
going to a higher rate on the rate chip as coil sprung shocks typically work the best at higher
leverage rates.
WHAT PERCENTAGE SAG DO YOU RECOMMEND FOR THE 160E?
We would advise starting with 30% sag, or 19.5mm of shock stroke for optimal pedaling efficiency and
terrain compliance. Be sure to set your sag at your normal riding weight, gear included. Feel free to
venture slightly above or below 30% to suit your personal preference. Visit our shock set up page to

WHAT SIZE SEAT POST DOES THE 160E USE?
The 160E uses a 31.6mm seat post.
YETI 160E | OWNER'S MANUAL
WHAT SIZE SEAT COLLAR DOES THE 160E USE?
The 160E uses a 36.4mm seat collar.
WHAT IS THE WARRANTY ON MY 160E?
The 160E has a LIFETIME manufacturer's warranty.
WHAT IS THE LONGEST TRAVEL DROPPER POST I CAN RUN ON THE 160E?
This is mostly defined by your inseam. You can run any travel as long as you are above the minimum
insert mark and you are not so low your tire rubs on your saddle or your dropper bottoms out in the
frame. Your local Yeti dealer can help you sort this out.
CAN I CONVERT THIS BIKE INTO A "MULLET" BIKE AND PUT A 27.5" WHEEL ON REAR OF
THE 160E?
It is possible, but we would not suggest it as it would lower your BB too much and slacken your head
tube angle and seat tube angle. But hey, if those changes suit your ride style then go for it.
WHAT HEADSET TOP CAP DOES THE 160E USE?
The 160E uses a 51mm top cap rather then the standard cap diameter. We use this larger cap because
the 160E is tested to Yeti's more rigorous DH test standards which require a larger HT wall thickness.
WHY WOULD I WANT TO ADJUST THE LEVERAGE RATE OF THE 160E?
Your personal preference, riding style, and terrain can influence which leverage rate setting you choose
on your 160E. The best thing to do is experiment and see what works best for you. The 'stock' setting
is 30% and should be a great place to start. For more information about leverage rates visit our shock
setup page, https://www.yeticycles.com/bikes/160e/?guide:support-shock-setup

The battery capacity on your 160E is 630 Watt Hours. Many factors influence range; weight, location,
gradient, selected mode, ambient temperature, etc. The range function on the display unit will give you
the best estimate.
