Yeti
2011 ASR Carbon (Pro XTR Build)
|
|
The AS-R Carbon has wracked up more awards than any bike in Yeti's line. It was recently chosen Outside Magazines "Gear of the Year", it as a finalist in Bicyclings "Editors Choice" this year and won the award in 2008 as well.
Why all the excitment? {art of the reason is the bike is really light, fast, and super efficient. The carbon monocoque frame and suspension have been optimized for cross-country racing and the integrated seat mast saves weight and transfers pedaling forces more efficiently than traditional seatposts. But that's just the beginning, this bike is a great descender. Yeti slackened the head tube a bit to give it amazing trail manners. even on high-speed technical descents. Some in the industry scoffed at them for upsetting the traditional geometry of a cross-country bike... then they started winning awards and many followed.
The details on this bike are worth noting as well: it has titanium fasteners, a carbon fiber dog bone linkage, integrated composite press-in bearings, and a new carbon fiber swing arm that increases rear end stiffness.
