Oh we get it. On the surface, the reincarnated ASR may seem like most other World Cup XC rigs. But be careful about judging this book by its cover. Because with 115mm of innovative “progressive-flex” seatstay travel and zero redundant carbon, the reincarnated ASR is ready for today’s XC. And tomorrow’s.

Yeti are charging back into the XC race/trail scene after almost a decade away. Guy Kesteven has been getting his teeth into their radical slack steering and deep sag design to see how it compares with the best of the rest
Excellent traction without losing power pop
Race light but impressively rigid chassis
Super slack dynamic steering for the category
Shorter geometry is great for tighter, slipperier trails

After a nine-year hiatus, the ASR returns to take its place as Yeti's dedicated cross-country race bike.
Very competitive weight
Excellent grip and suspension performance
Well-rounded handling for a cross-country bike
Slightly softer ride feel works best with 3 position remote lockout
Narrow bar, underpowered brakes (even for an XC bike)
