A DECADE AGO WE PEACED OUT OF THE LYCRA GAME. WHILE WE WERE BUSY GETTING DOWN, XC GOT A LOT MORE X, CALLING FOR THE COMEBACK OF A LEGEND, THE ASR HELPS TODAYS RACERS BE FASTER WHERE THEY HAVE TO BE. ON FIRST BLUSH IT MAY APPEAR TO HAVE PEERS, BUT DONT GET IT TWISTED. THE REINCARNATED ASR ISA LOT LIKE NOTHING ELSE.

ITS BACK. BECAUSE XC IS X AGAIN.The ASR is back. Weve never made a lighter full-suspension bike, but thats just half the story. It brings proper suspension to proper mountain bike racing. The kind that takes skill, not just lungs.A LOT LIKE NOTHING ELSE.The new ASR marks the most extensive carbon project weve ever tackled. Yielding the lightest full suspension bike in our history, contemporizing our flex stay design to check todays kinematics standards, providing proper sag, killer small-bump sensitivity, insane traction and 100% usable travel.ZERO REDUNDANT CARBON.Custom ply shapes, critical material choice, intelligent draping methods, and smooth transitions between every carbon ply have eliminated redundant carbon, giving radical strength for super lightweight. Such a boundary pushing schedule driven from in-depth carbon analysis tools marks a Yeti first.CABLE MANAGEMENT.Secure closures at frame entry and exit eliminate rattles and rub. External brake routing from bar to head tube for ease of travel, plus theres no aero advantage to hiding them anyway.INTEGRATED FRAME FENDER.On the muddiest race days, the integrated rear fender keeps debris from impeding suspension movement. Weighing next to nothing. Its a frame feature youll only notice how big of a difference it makes if its gone.HANGERLESS INTERFACE.Hangerless Interface creates the strongest and most precise shifting by allowing Eagle Transmission derailleurs to mount directly to the wheel axle and grip both sides of the frame. But Hangerless Interface is also perfect for legacy drivetrains, thanks to the included Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH).MORE DROP FOR MORE X.Modern XC racing is more extreme, requiring the kind of room to attack descents that only proper-dropperscan provide. ASRs uninterrupted and shorter seat tube allows room for longer, full-stroke dropper posts. Most riders can run 150mm dropper posts on small frames*, 175mm on medium frames* and 200mm+ dropper posts on L-XL frames*.*Dependent on actual seat height on specific bike size.
SL ROCKER LINK.Once we achieved our desired kinematics, we looked at how to shed weight with our rocker link. This quest turned the one-piece billet 7075 aluminum alloy link into a structurally rigid exoskeleton frame, as functional as it is sculptural.
