Sixfinity Suspension System
The MT is equipped with Yeti’s Sixfinity suspension, a six-bar linkage system developed over a decade. This design allows for independent tuning of anti-squat, anti-rise, and leverage rate, providing greater control over the bike’s suspension characteristics. The system delivers 140mm of rear travel paired with a 160mm fork, optimized for 29-inch wheels. (bikemag.com)

The MT features Yeti’s top-tier Turq Series carbon frame, incorporating Vectran reinforcement for added strength. The frame geometry includes a 64.5-degree head angle and a 77-degree effective seat angle, with chainstay lengths ranging from 436mm on a small frame to 452mm on an XL. Size-specific kinematics ensure optimal performance across different rider sizes. (bikemag.com)
