The Yeti AS-R platform has been continually improved since its inception in 2001. Yeti racers have been instrumental in the development of the AS-R models...from the major suspension and geometry re-design in 2003, to the material refinements in 2004, 2005, and 2006. The AS-R is a study in refinement.
Cross Country and Trail Bike
The AS-R 5 was a natural evolution of the AS-R platform. With the AS-R 5 Yeti created a bike with the tight handling characteristics of a XC race bike and the plush suspension of an all mountain rig. At 5.5 lbs, the alloy frame is very light... lighter than many cross country racing frames on the market today but you have the versatility to ride all mountain. The heart of the frame is the Active Suspension (A.S.) design, soaking up the rough stuff and transferring power from the pedals without energy loss.

The AS-R 5 was a natural evolution of the AS-R platform. With the AS-R 5 Yeti created a bike with the tight handling characteristics of a XC race bike and the plush suspension of an all mountain rig. At 4.75 lbs, the carbon frame is very light... lighter than many cross country racing frames on the market today but you have the versatility to ride all mountain. The heart of the frame is the Active Suspension (A.S.) design, soaking up the rough stuff and transferring power from the pedals without energy loss.

All Mountain Bike
The premise behind the ASR7's development was to create a trail bike with even more travel and descending capabilities than the 575 platform, and still be a capable climber. Well, you have exactly that in the ASR 7: 7" of rear-wheel travel in a 7.5 lb package. The main pivot location and leverage ratio make the ASR 7 an efficient pedaling machine. But when gravity takes over, that's when things get fun.

Cross Country Race Bike
The AS-R Carbon has wracked up more awards than any bike in the Yeti line. You might ask, why all the excitement? Simply put this frame is really light, fast and super efficient, and that is just the beginning. 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 seat posts. Small, yet important, details such as titanium fasteners, carbon fiber dog bone(linkage), integrated press-in bottom bracket bearings and an updated full carbon fiber rear triangle all add to this amazing machine's character.
