2024 Yeti ASR // Bike Review
Спорт
After taking a decade off from the ASR model, Yeti brought it back.
For me, the timing of its arrival couldn’t have been better as sloppy Pacific Northwest trails started to dry up from a long winter. With fast dirt and even faster rolling tires, my legs are still sore from chasing uphill PRs.
Climbing aboard the ASR felt like being possessed. I couldn’t seem to ride this bike at my normal pace. Instead, I’d immediately find myself pedaling as fast as I could on my normal climbs. With the Maxxis Recon Race rear tire and snappy power delivery through the ASR’s frame, there was no reason to climb slowly.

Tacky dry dirt and fast tires 🔥So Good! I'm glad I was able to do this review in the dry to properly enjoy the tire spec.
Nice not having to deal with the Switch Infinity. One less thing for me to service. 👍
thanks for introducing me to my next bike. My sb140 needs a friend :)
I had an 04’ ASR. I loved that bike. Light and fast. I over forked it ( before that was a trend ) and made it even better.
I just demo'd one last weekend. Purpose built for sure and fast according to my Strava.
i wish next would be the exie review but I know that aint gonna happen! :)
Will you be reviewing the new Rocky Altitude? I'm eager to hear your thoughts on that one.
Almost back to back reviews with the Epic Evo, but no comparison thoughts.
Man I love how well this channels camera shows speed. Anyone know if they ever shared their camera setup?
Holy cables batman
Awesome review as usual :). Great to see you back on the bike after arm injury. Did you change camera settings by the way? I noticed that this video looks more "granular" than others :).

Camera settings are all the same, but most of the magic is in post in Davinci Resolve. You're right, I'm not sure why the film grain came through so much on this one...hmm
Did you enjoy this better than the EVO you just reviewed?

This ASR was set up for more XC efficiency, lighter build, and less grip - which made it roll faster. I'd go with the EVO in the PNW as the spec w/ the brakes and tires was pretty killer in wet conditions/steeper terrain. I'd go with the ASR as spec'd if I were trying to win a traditional XC race.

ASR vs. Epic 8 (non-EVO)? Any thoughts?

Another point…what is the value of the lockout, necessary or never used?

So, a long these lines of thinking, how does the new epic Evo measure up against the Transition Spur?

How big is the difference to a Trek Top Fuel?

It's been a while, but I remember the Top Fuel being pretty stable and an incredible feeling little bike. This ASR was definitely lighter and faster as spec'd though.

XC bikes have gotten so much better
There are a lot of cables on the handlebar. :D
ASR stands for Also Sold as Rockymountain
Don’t understand reviewers like this that insist on having the whole review shot while puffing along a dizzying single track. This review could be copied and pasted for any modern XC bike over $4k. No shots of the bike or build kit 👎
