Yeti ASR 29 Carbon Frame - Sidlux Ult
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 today’s racers be faster where they have to be. On first blush it may appear to have peers, but don’t get it twisted. the reincarnated ASR is a lot like nothing else.
MADE FOR WINNING THE WORLD
The ASR is back to win at today’s world cup level. Super light and radically responsive with all the pedaling efficiency? Check. But that’s just XC table stakes. The bike for modern XC needs modern geometry that’s just as stable tipping it over at 45 km/h as it excels on chest high drops and hugging the inside line on the steepest switchback climb.
More balanced at speed.
Its nimble reach darts through singletrack. Its steep seat tube angle makes light work of climbs. Its head angle and balanced vertical suspension travel prioritize downhill fun, making it an incredible Trans-Cascadia style race whip. Point is, the SB120’s geometry is so balanced and agile, forgetting how much travel it has on the way up and down is totally possible.
TURQ Series
TURQ Series bikes are made with the highest quality carbon fiber available and offer the perfect balance of stiffness and compliance. The result is a bike that feels smooth, solid and aggressive. Every bike is tested by the best racers in the world, including EWS World Champion Richie Rude, our in-house testing team and ambassadors around the world.

Key Details:
Its back because XC is X again.
The ASR is back. We’ve never made a lighter full-suspension bike, but that’s 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 we’ve ever tackled. Yielding the lightest full suspension bike in our history, contemporizing our flex stay design to check today’s 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.
Its what's not inside that counts.
We wanted to kill carbon redundancy everywhere, not just where it was easy. Our 20+ years of carbon-only experience told us we could remove solid volume at pivots and still exceed the demands of XC, with no downside on performance or bearing life.
Size specific stiffness fine tuned.
Another goal for the ASR was to engineer each frame for the same ride characteristics to give every rider the same feel, regardless of size. Since theASR uses single-ply carbon layups to eliminate redundant carbon, each sheet had to be precision cut. Tedious? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely. Doing so allowed for size-specific tuning at a much more sensitive level, and accurately matching torsional stiffness and chassis-flex profiles too.
A legacy of flex.
The year was 2003 – our flex stay design was a decade’s ahead approach to XC full suspension. Today, the incarnated ASR considers the relationships between leverage rate, link size, material properties of the carbon layup and modern short stroke shocks to deliver responsive, efficient, and astonishingly light XC-specific suspension.
Dual duty carbon.
In contrast to conventional pivot-placement methodology for longer travel applications, the ASR’s pivot points are positioned so that existing tubing walls make up a significant portion of their shape and structure. To further reduce redundant carbon, and save weight.
Leverage Rate. Progressivity 10%
The ASR features a near-linear progression curve to deliver the ultimate balance of efficiency in the mid stroke of the suspension – where XC racers spend most of their time. But with 20% sag, it offers small bump sensitivity typically found on longer travel bikes. Plus, the last ¼ of travel is designed to ramp up, so bigger hits and aggressive race lines don’t kick the bike off line.
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 there’s 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. It’s a frame feature you’ll only notice how big of a difference it makes if it’s 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).
