2026 Yeti MTe T3 X0 AXS Transmission

Engineered to be the ultimate lightweight e-MTB trail machine, the 2026 Yeti MTe T3 X0 AXS combines elite-level TURQ carbon construction with the whisper-quiet TQ HPR 60 motor system. This top-tier build is outfitted with Factory-level FOX suspension, carbon wheels, SRAM’s premium X0 AXS Transmission, and next-gen Maven Silver brakes, giving aggressive riders the power, poise, and polish to conquer big terrain with electric efficiency.

Frame & Chassis

TURQ Series Carbon Frame
Yeti’s highest-grade carbon—TURQ—forms the backbone of the MTe T3. Lightweight, stiff, and designed for precision, it features:

• Configurable cable ports for clean internal routing

• 148mm x 12mm BOOST dropouts for modern wheel compatibility

• Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) compatibility for SRAM Transmission integration

The frame geometry is dialed for modern trail aggression, with long reach numbers, a steep seat tube for efficient climbing, and a slack head angle for downhill confidence.

TQ HPR 60 Motor System

60Nm Motor + 580Wh Battery (TQ HPR 60)
The TQ HPR 60 drive unit offers ultra-quiet, natural-feeling assistance. Integrated seamlessly into the frame, it blends e-MTB torque with a traditional pedal feel.

• Torque: 60Nm, smooth and responsive

• Battery: 580Wh, internally housed for clean aesthetics and extended range

• Interface: Discreet top-tube display with handlebar remote control

This system stands out for its lightweight footprint and pedal-efficient ride characteristics, making it ideal for riders who still want to “earn” the descent.

Suspension: FOX Factory Performance

Fork: FOX 36 Factory Series, GRIP X2 – 160mm Travel
This fork leads the charge with its advanced GRIP X2 damper, offering high/low-speed compression and rebound adjustment. Combined with buttery Kashima coating and stout 36mm stanchions, it handles steep, technical terrain with precision.

Shock: FOX Factory Float X (230mm x 60mm)
This rear shock offers a supportive mid-stroke and bottom-out control while maintaining great small-bump sensitivity. Factory-level internals and full adjustability give you the tools to dial it in for any trail.

Transmission: SRAM X0 Eagle AXS T-Type

Full Wireless Shifting System
Built around SRAM's groundbreaking Transmission platform, this AXS system is durable, precise, and shift-under-load capable.

• Rear Derailleur: SRAM X0 Eagle AXS Transmission

• Shifter: AXS POD Controller – customizable and ergonomic

• Crankset: X0, 160mm, optimized for e-MTB

• Cassette: 10-52T wide-range

This direct-mount system offers clean aesthetics, rugged performance, and shifts that don't flinch under power.

Brakes: SRAM Maven Silver

High-Powered Braking for E-MTBs
The Maven Silver 4-piston calipers are SRAM’s most powerful trail brakes, delivering more bite and better modulation than the outgoing Code line.

• Rotors: SRAM HS2 200mm front and rear

• Design: Heavier-duty construction for e-MTB loads

• Performance: Heat management, reduced fade, and consistent stopping power

Wheels & Tires

DT Swiss EXC1700 Carbon Wheelset (30mm Internal Width)
Light and strong, these carbon trail wheels balance stiffness and durability for high-speed stability and precision. The 30mm width is ideal for supporting 2.5" tires in gnarly terrain.

Tires:

• Front: Schwalbe Magic Mary Trail Pro 2.5" Radial Ultra Soft – High grip for cornering and braking

• Rear: Schwalbe Albert Trail Pro 2.5" Radial Soft – Fast-rolling with trail-tuned traction

Together, this setup grips loose terrain, bites into roots and rocks, and holds a line when the trail gets wild.
