2026 Yeti MTe C2 90 Transmission

The 2026 Yeti MTe C2 90 Transmission is a high-performance trail-ready e-MTB that feels like a "natural" mountain bike with a secret superpower. This bike combines Yeti’s top-notch TURQ carbon frame with a thoughtfully integrated, German-made TQ HPR 60 motor and battery system. What that means for you is a natural pedaling sensation, plus plenty of power and range for long rides or tough terrain.

The carbon frame is stiff where it counts, but also offers some compliance for comfort. Yeti kept the cables tucked inside the frame to keep things clean and reliable. The geometry leans toward that stable, yet efficient style riders want for aggressive trails. It feels like a true trail bike with no weird e-bike handling quirks.

Powering the bike is the TQ HPR 60 motor, delivering 60Nm of torque with near-silent operation. Paired with a 580Wh battery, it's a combination that provides smooth, responsive assistance without the bulky feel or intrusive noise that some e-bikes have. You get a ride that stays "bike-like", but with the extra boost when you need it.

The suspension features a solid Fox 36 Performance fork up front with 160mm of travel for handling aggressive terrain and rough descents. The Fox Float X Performance shock in the rear keeps the back end planted and comfortable, ready for technical climbing or fast runs downhill.

The drivetrain uses SRAM’s Eagle 90 T-Type Transmission designed specifically for e-MTBs. It handles shifting smoothly even under load, which is exactly what you want when you're climbing steep or rough trails. The cranks, cassette, and chain are all SRAM components optimized to work seamlessly for powerful and reliable shifting.

When it's time to stop, the SRAM Maven Bronze brakes with 4-piston calipers and large rotors give you strong, consistent stopping power. The 200mm Centerline rotors help avoid fade on longer descents, so you can stay in the flow state no matter how fast you're going.

The wheels are built around the dependable DT Swiss E1900 rims, which offer good strength and a 30mm internal width perfect for modern trail tires. The front and rear tires come from Schwalbe's Trail Pro lineup, which offers excellent grip whether it's wet, dry, or loose underfoot.

Adjusting your riding position is easy with the wireless SRAM Reverb AXS dropper post, provided in different travel lengths depending on frame size. Dropper posts let you adjust your riding position instantly by anywhere from millimeters to a full slam when you need it. The cockpit combines a Yeti carbon handlebar for vibration dampening, a stout Burgtec stem, and a neatly integrated wireless controller, all helping you stay fully in control with clean cable routing.

Comfort isn’t overlooked either. The WTB Solano Chromoly saddle balances support and cushioning for long days out on the trail without adding unnecessary weight.

All in all, the 2026 Yeti MTe C2 90 feels right, handles like a high-end trail bike, and gives you the power to tackle hard climbs and fast descents with confidence.
