LTe

Yeti ditched Shimano for Bosch on the new LTe, and it was the right call. More torque, a bigger battery, and the Switch Infinity suspension that Yeti fans won't shut up about. The thing is, they're kind of right — the reviews on this bike's suspension have been almost embarrassing for the competition.

This is a bike for people who ride the down. Steep, rough, fast. It's stable in a way that makes you braver than you should be. It's not the most playful bike here, and on mellow trails it can feel like overkill.

Price is the elephant in the room. Starting north of $10K is a lot of money. But if you're the kind of rider who lives for the descent and you want the best-suspended e-bike out there, this is it.
