IN BRIEF
Yeti Cycles has unveiled the MT, a trail bike with 140 mm of rear travel paired with a 160 mm fork. It replaces the SB140 and, above all, it closes the Switch Infinity chapter: the Colorado brand gives it the six-bar Sixfinity linkage already seen on the 160e, then on the MTe and LTe. The frame is TURQ carbon, with a threaded bottom bracket, a Boost 148 x 12 mm axle and a UDH derailleur hanger. The brand’s European price list, checked on 25 August, starts at €7,200 and climbs to €11,500 for the XX AXS version; the bare frame is listed there at €5,000.

Switch Infinity will have lasted more than ten years at Yeti: according to Bikerumor, the vertical slider that was the Colorado brand’s mechanical signature appeared in July 2014 on the SB5c. The MT, presented on 25 August, drops it in favour of the six-bar Sixfinity linkage, which Bikerumor describes as having appeared “on the 160e a few years ago, then on the MTe and LTe last year”. The SB120 and SB135 keep it in their 2026 range. The MT takes the place of the SB140, which Bikerumor describes as the do-it-all mid-travel model in the range.
The Yeti MT closes the Switch Infinity chapter
Bikerumor, which rode the bike ahead of its announcement, sees in it “arguably the biggest part of the story”: the move from the Switch Infinity platform, long-established on the SB140 (and on the SB130 before it), to a six-bar suspension architecture. The outlet also spells out exactly where the newcomer sits in the range: “the MT replaces the SB140 as the mid-travel, do-it-all model in Yeti’s line-up, pairing its 140 mm of travel with a 160 mm fork”.
The geometry moves on in the same step. Yeti claims a 64.5° head angle, a 77° effective seat tube angle and a 480 mm reach in size L. The manufacturer also varies chainstay length with frame size: longer chainstays at each size, it writes, “to optimise front/rear balance, improve stability and climbing performance”.
A TURQ carbon frame, threaded and UDH
The official spec sheet describes a frame in TURQ carbon, Yeti’s top-end series, with a threaded bottom bracket, tunnelled internal cable routing, Boost 148 x 12 mm dropouts, sealed pivot bearings and a UDH derailleur hanger. The UDH hanger is an open standard that Yeti adopts as is, and the threaded bottom bracket comes apart with a spanner.
Two pieces of equipment highlighted by both sources round out this frame. Bikerumor presents the integrated storage as “one of the MT’s standout features”: a compartment housed in the frame, supplied with an in-house tool roll. Yeti also describes a flip chip that allows the “progression to be set between three distinct rates […] without affecting geometry, anti-squat or anti-rise”; Bikerumor puts those rates at 10, 15 and 20%.
Five versions, from €7,200 to €11,500
Yeti’s European store, checked from France on 25 August, opens the range at €7,200 with a SRAM 90 drivetrain, Maven Base brakes and Fox Performance suspension. At the top of the list, the XX AXS version at €11,500 gets Maven Ultimate brakes, a Fox Factory 36 Grip X2 fork and DT Swiss XMC 1700 carbon wheels. In between, the X0/90, XT Di2 and X0 AXS versions range from €8,200 to €9,900. The same page lists the bare frame, including the Fox Factory Float X shock, at €5,000.
