Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Yeti LTe. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

14 reasons to buy

  • Yeti’s LTe comes in three SRAM-equipped builds: C2 90, T3 X0 AXS, and T4 XX AXS.
  • The LTe’s progression flip-chip lets owners “easily” change suspension progression (25%, 30%, 35%).
  • A flip-chip allows geo to be maintained with a mixed-wheel setup.
  • A reviewer commends Yeti’s “thorough” suspension setup guide.
  • Experts love Yeti’s Sixfinity rear suspension platform. Two publications call it the most impressive they’ve ever ridden.
  • All testers say the LTe is an excellent climber up even the steepest, most technical ascents.
  • The well-balanced geometry keeps the rider seated in the middle of the bike, comfortable, and in control on climbs.
  • The motor’s strong power, smooth modulation, and well-tuned overrun mitigate the challenges of tricky climbs.
  • Testers relish the sense of control, even at full speed, imparted by the balanced, intuitive handling and precise steering.
  • The LTe's mix of “stability, plushness, and forgivingness” truly shines on fast, steep descents.
  • Experts are amazed by how calm and composed the LTe remains at high speeds over chunky trails.
  • Reviewers find that the bike’s weight isn't reflected by its on-trail feel.
  • In max pedal assist tests, one reviewer gets 30 miles and 5,000 feet of elevation gain. Another gets 25 miles and 6,500 feet.
  • Experts agree the chassis feels incredibly solid and well-built. Yeti provides a lifetime warranty and crash-replacement program.

8 reasons not to buy

  • One expert says the LTe’s length makes it challenging to maneuver on tight, technical trails.
  • A reviewer says the bike can feel lethargic at slower speeds.
  • Two testers recommend swapping the front tire to one with Schwalbe’s gravity casing.
  • Multiple experts would prefer a slightly taller front end to enhance control on the steepest descents.
  • Getting the most out of this bike requires tinkering with the suspension, say testers.
  • In testing, one LTe T3's FOX Factory 38 fork fails, and another's SRAM X0 crank breaks.
  • One test bike suffers two broken motor guards, and a tester complains that the guard collects rocks.
  • The range extender only fits L and XL frames, and a reviewer says it “barely” fits the size L.

Bottom line

With prices starting at five figures, one would hope the Yeti LTe is impressive, and indeed, reviewers' countless superlatives seem to confirm that. Perhaps unsurprisingly, some testers say the LTe is the best enduro e-MTB they’ve tested, highlighting Yeti’s Sixfinity suspension platform as a key factor in this bike's stellar performance whether pointing uphill or down. Experts say the LTe is among the most capable descenders on the market, coming alive the faster and gnarlier the terrain gets, though some may find it lethargic and cumbersome at slower speeds. Unfortunately, testing produced worrying component failures on an otherwise hard-to-fault “all-rounder”.

New Yeti LTE T3 on Test – Yours Truly, Colorado

… the bike strikes a confident balance between stability and agility, inspiring trust on demanding trails. Only real drawback? On super steep descents, we’d have liked a slightly taller front end for a more centred feel. Expensive? Yes. But also seriously impressive.

Introducing the 2026 Yeti LTe T3 E-MTB

Thus far I have been very impressed by the finish, design, performance and the very stout frame of the Yet LTe. It loves to go fast through the chunder, a weakness for many bikes, but is still keen to get up in the air and swap lines.
