Yeti  2012 AS-R Carbon Enduro

The AS-R Carbon has won countless awards over the years including Outside Magazine’s “Gear of the Year” and editor’s Choice in Bicycling Magazine. It has littered podiums across the world and has introduced many hard tail holdouts to the joys of efficient fullsuspension. It’s a bit of a secret, but the AS-R Carbon was one of the first bikes that featured our progressive geometry. While others were insisting an XC bike needed to have a 71 degree head angle, we respectfully disagreed and slackened the head angle to 69 degrees. We knew the market wasn’t ready for the change,so we kept it secret. After the reviews started pouring in and a year passed, we let the world know. This is one of the reasons the AS-R Carbon descends like a trail bike… We continue to improve the frame and added more high-modulus carbon fiber. This lightens the frame and adds stiffness. Everything else on the frame remains unchanged from last year— it’s still crazy efficient, super-fast and has the trademark Yeti geometry that beckons to go fast.

Features
- High modulus, hand-laid carbon fiber main frame and swing arm
- Yeti Chip System (QR x 135mm or 12mm x 142mm)
- Internal cable routing on swing arm
- Titanium hardware
- Press-in bottom bracket cups

The Ride
- Very efficient when pedaling and climbing
- Super light = super fast
- Stable and active when descending
- Stiffer in mid-stroke of the shock, so you “feel” the trail more

Key Geometry
- 69 degree head tube with 100 mm fork
- 16.9’’ / 429 mm chain stays
- 12.75’’ /324 mm bottom bracket heigh
