EnjoyThat linkage is mad. Can anyone explain in laymans what the benefits of the 2 extra bars are? I presume it allows the chainstay to move a different arc to a 4 bar but I'm struggling to see how it works from the pics.
Yeti have created a new 6-bar suspension system that utilizes a similar Switch Infinity-type concept, where the bottom pivot moves upward to an inflection point and back down at the end of the travel. Unlike the linear movement of the Switch Infinity, the bottom pivot of this system moves in a linear path in the middle of the migration path and has a small amount of curvature at each end of the migration path, at both full extension and full compression. Yeti claim this may improve anti-squat and anti-rise numbers. Additionally, Yeti claim the 6-bar system will allow the designers more freedom in separating kinematic dials such as anti-squat, anti-rise, and leverage ratio. Yeti are implementing this design with both traditional pivots and flex stays with solid pivots.

£12k!Looks bloody lovely, what’s the rrp of that spec?
I know, Dainese knee pads AND Dainese socks - what the hell was he thinking, mix things up a bit.WTF was that?!!!
I've never seen such a failure.
How do you carry your wood kick stand??Holy shit man the bike is good.
most suprising is how well it climbs. Despite the ‘weaker’ EP8 I’ve found that the rear grips in so well that it’s able to climb stuff just like the Bosch. Albeit in the limited (2 local rides) completed so far.
Its incredibly nimble and the bike feels *almost* like a super light with more power. If I hadn’t weighed it I’d have thought it was a couple of KG under the 23KG actual weight.
It’s very quiet, other than the slight EP8 rattle. It’s the quietest EP8 I’ve tested. Could be down to design, could be a fluke, could be Shimano have refined their manufacturing process.
I’m honestly surprised by the bike. When you read paper stats it’s quite easy to build up an opinion on how it might ride. Be I’m very impressed after a couple of short rides so far.

Multi-Body Vehicle Suspension Linkage by Yeti: Part 1 • WheelBased
This article discusses a new 6-bar suspension system by Yeti, featuring a non-linear migration path for the bottom pivot. The system aims to improve kinematic tunability, compliance, and performance.wheelbased.com

That's the battery.How do you carry your wood kick stand??
