Sitting a bit longer and slacker than most cross-country whippets, the Yeti ASR Carbon Mountain Bike Frame doubles as a lightweight, lively trail bike when you're not donning a race plate. It's a versatile performer that's confident sprinting for the finish and conquering brutal climbs on cross-country courses, yet it inspires more rider confidence for hitting burlier trail features and enjoying long, sustained descents along the local mountain pass.
This particular ASR Carbon Frame provides all the strength and stiffness of Yeti's high-end Turq series carbon frames, albeit with a weight penalty in the neighborhood of 250 grams (that's about 8.8 ounces). Ultimately, this carbon construction translates to the rocket-like acceleration and precise handling desired by cross-country racers and aggressive trail riders alike.
Though the ASR Carbon occupies much of the same territory as Yeti's newer SB4.5, you'll find it's actually packing a bit less travel, sports a steeper head tube, and rocks a single-pivot suspension instead of the signature Switch Infinity you've come to expect from Yeti. Another difference, the extra-small and small frames use 27.5 inch wheels for a bit nimbler feel with increased stand-over for shorter riders.
Although more basic than Switch Infinity, this single-pivot platform reduces the frame's overall weight and increases the rear triangle stiffness—both characteristics desired for an XC bike. Yeti refined the pedaling characteristics and descending composure of the ASR Carbon by working closely with FOX to fine-tune the suspension rate. What you'll find is snappy acceleration from corners and efficiency on the brutal climbs of XC, yet it's far more confident handling the rough stuff on the trail, with the shock ramping up at end stroke to prevent harsh bottom-outs.
