Yeti  2009 AS-R Carbon Frame

Pure. Race. Purpose-built.

The suspension properties and geometry are based on the very successful AS-Rsl platform. By using high-modulus carbon fiber, sculpted into stealth-like shapes, we were able to increase the stiffness and tune the handling to be an amazing performer on the trail.

The front and rear triangles are constructed entirely of hand-laid carbon fiber with co-molded aluminum lugs at the bearing and pivot connections. The carbon dogbone helps create the ideal shock rate and provides a solid connection between the front and the rear of the bike. The bottom bracket is a press-fit-style instead of the traditional threaded cups. This reduces weight and adds another level of stiffness.

One of the most striking and unique features of the AS-R Carbon is the seat mast. In our testing, we found our integrated seat mast greatly improves the power transfer to the pedals. The seat mast is cut to a rider’s spec and the clamp allows up to +/- 1 inch of adjustment. This is a full on XC race bike. It comes in the turquoise / white paint and raw carbon with a clear coat for protection.
