Yeti ASR-5 Carbon frame 2012
The best way to describe the AS-R 5 Carbon is this: 4.75 pound Yeti frame with five inches of travel. At this weight, it is lighter than many of the lightest cross-country bikes on the market and it has the added versatility of being an amazing all-mountain rig.
So how did we pull off this incredible feat? We coupled our extensive carbon fibre experience with award-winning, super-efficient, optimised active suspension design. And then we rode the snot out of the bike. Shook it on the test machine. Rode it more. And then repeated the process until it was perfect.
In the end, the bike exceeded our expectations for efficiency, light weight and incredible stiffness. We think it will exceed yours as well.
