Yeti LTe: suspension setup & specs
The Yeti LTe is an e-enduro bike with 170 mm of fork travel and 160 mm at the rear. It is powered by Bosch Performance Line CX-R. This page lists the 3 current builds with fork, shock and shock size and gives matching starting values for SAG and tyre pressure.

How it compares
On travel, the Yeti LTe is right where the “e-enduro bike” category usually is: 170 mm up front against a median of 170 mm from 56 bikes. The fork has 10 mm more travel than the rear end with 160 mm – a common layout that takes load off the front on steep terrain. The frame is made of carbon.
At 23.5 kg (X0 AXS build), the weight is close to the category median of 23.5 kg. With a starting price of €9,900 (90), the Yeti LTe is above the category median (€6,900). For the XX AXS build, Yeti asks €14,500. Fork and shock come from FOX on every build. The fork line-up ranges from the FOX Factory 38 Grip X2 to the FOX Podium Factory. It is powered by Bosch Performance Line CX-R with a 800 Wh battery.
Setup notes for this spec
- Air fork (FOX Factory 38 Grip X2): the air valve is on top of the left leg under a cap. Change pressure in small steps (about 5 psi (0.34 bar)) and cycle the fork a few times afterwards so the air chambers can equalise.
- Rebound: turn the red FOX adjuster fully closed first and count clicks from there – that way you can note settings and restore them later.
- Shock (FOX Factory Float X2): get on the bike in your normal riding position, step off carefully and read the O-ring. Always cycle the shock a few times after pumping.
- e-MTB: the extra weight mainly affects tyre pressure, which is why the table below already includes a surcharge. SAG is measured just as on a bike without a motor.
Target SAG for the Yeti LTe
SAG is the share of travel your weight already uses in the riding position. The table gives it straight in millimetres – read the O-ring on the stanchion and on the shock shaft and adjust the air pressure until it matches. Any figures from Yeti take priority.
170 mm fork (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 29 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 34 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 37 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 34 mm |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
For 2.50″ wide tyres, tubeless with a trail casing, including the e-MTB surcharge. With an inner tube about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi) more, with an insert about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) less. Stock tyres: Schwalbe Magic Mary Gravity Pro 2.5 Radial Ultra Soft / Schwalbe Tacky Chan Gravity Pro 2.5 Radial Soft.
| Ready-to-ride weight | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg | 1.48 bar (21 psi) | 1.68 bar (24 psi) |
| 70 kg | 1.60 bar (23 psi) | 1.80 bar (26 psi) |
| 80 kg | 1.72 bar (25 psi) | 1.92 bar (28 psi) |
| 90 kg | 1.84 bar (27 psi) | 2.04 bar (30 psi) |
| 100 kg | 1.96 bar (28 psi) | 2.16 bar (31 psi) |
| 110 kg | 2.08 bar (30 psi) | 2.28 bar (33 psi) |
| 120 kg | 2.20 bar (32 psi) | 2.40 bar (35 psi) |
Air pressure in the fork and shock
You will find a guide value for air pressure on the fork sticker (or on the shock) or in the suspension makers’ charts. Our calculator also takes riding style and rebound into account. In the end, measured SAG is what counts.
