Excellent review. You've got this nailed. Thanks!

Appreciate the yeti coloured text additions 👌

I always colour code the text but you’re the first person who’s ever commented 🙏🏻

In my area, if the trails were that muddy, the wooden bridges would be so slick, you’d be asking for the bike to come out from under you.

I just dream of a yeti arc

Now I can carry the switchinfinitythingy in my jersey pocket! Yay!

looks good, although I'm still tapping about on my 2006 asr-sl. Still quick (if a little whippy) and being a 26 wheel, more than a kilo lighter than this one

Imagine how many quality new bikes you could own with that one bike cost, @ least 4, which would give you much more joy in riding different trails & terrains 🤪

Guy, money no object - The ASR with the FA spec level, or the S-works epic 8?

@@flow2tech Well, issue is - No allied dealers in europe. Im not importing a $13k bike myself here. Could go with a frameset, but then I need to get a hold of the flight attendant rear shock with the Allied tune, which probably is months away for the aftermarket still. And if I need to warranty something, its quite annoying sending stuff overseas. I went with the S-works epic 8, and have no regrets at all. Bought it from my local dealer so supported him as well. Easy to deal with if I have any warranty issues etc.

Nice video! Where abouts in nidd gorge are the trails at 8:00 minutes? I’ve been to nidd gorge a few times from Knaresborough side, beryl burton cycle path then I turn right just before the bridge to get to some bits, but haven’t found a lot. Any ideas?

Hi Connor, those trails are near the top car park on the far side, just below the main dog walking trail alongside the houses. If you give me a follow on Strava at Artful Codger and look for rides in that area

@@bt4288 Epic 8 is 20mm longer in reach and a lot cheaper but similar stiffness and positive power feel. Spesh create a similar ‘deep in the shock’ vibe by using an extended bottom out ‘jounce’ bumper. Internal storage on Spesh too if that’s your (non) bag

Guy, What’s your top 3 XC sleds so far?

I’m going to do a proper video on this in a few weeks as I’m at the official Pinarello launch soon and I’m hoping to ride an Orbea Oiz next week too. Right now though it’d probably be Epic, Spark, Cervelo

The yeti ASR doesn’t break into the top 3?? 😮 looking forward to your comparison video!

Given how good the wide range of bikes from Giant, Norco, Canyon, Scott, Merida, Trek and others are and the current discounts available, the marginal differences in these bikes, means you'd only be buying the Yeti if you were a Brand evangelist or have more money than sense.

Hmm…s-works epic 8 is $14.5k, Yeti Ultimate ASR is $13.9k USD. The cheapest epic 8 expert is $7k….while the lowest cost ASR is $5.6k. Exchange rate issue?

Jesus Guy, those trails look awful.

🤮 HOW much! Come on, you have to admit, that's daylight robbery man 🤦

More dog less ASR
