Yeti Cycles ASR T5 Ultimate XX Transmission Carbon Wheel Mountain Bike

Why We Like The Yeti ASR T5 Ultimate XX Transmission Carbon Wheel Mountain Bike

After a short break, the ASR is back to claim the dedicated XC race bike spot in Yeti´s lineup. The Yeti ASR is a 29-inch full-suspension cross-country race bike sporting 115mm of rear-wheel travel. Its updated Flex Stay suspension system ensures unrivaled pedaling efficiency and small bump sensitivity, while its linear progression rate and custom-tuned RockShox SidLuxe 3-position rear shock make it a versatile performer on modern XC courses. Yeti´s unique carbon laying process maximizes the strength and stiffness of the frame while simultaneously eliminating excess material where they could for the best strength-to-weight ratio. Size-specific carbon layups optimize frame stiffness for every sized frame, and additional material elimination in the rear shock mount and the rear axle bring the weight down drastically, cementing the ASR´s spot as the lightest full-suspension bike Yeti has ever produced. The ASR´s 66.5-degree head tube angle, forward-biased front triangle, low bottom bracket height, and efficient 75.5-degree seat tube angle all contribute to its exceptional handling and stability. The ASR also features two water bottle mounts, an integrated rear mud fender, integrated downtube protection, an integrated and optional chain guide, and a SRAM UDH derailleur hanger.

The T5 Ultimate XX Transmission Carbon Wheel build of the new Yeti ASR is dressed to the nines and is one of the most technologically advanced builds seen to date. To start, the T5 build uses a special version of Yeti´s premium TURQ carbon frame, giving us a frame designed around wireless electronic components to further the weight savings by eliminating most of the internal cable routing and ports. This frame is only found on the T5 build and is lighter than the TURQ carbon frames on other T-level builds. Next, SRAM´s Ultra-premium XX SL Transmission drivetrain ensures smooth and accurate electronic shifting, a wide 10-52-tooth range, a super light carbon fiber construction, and a near-bombproof design for trail performance. RockShox Ultimate Flight Attendant suspension takes this build to the next level, supplying us with the SidLuxe Ultimate rear shock for race-ready, lightweight performance and the SID Ultimate 120mm fork to keep us under control as we race to finish. Both the fork and shock feature RockShox Flight Attendant for wireless damper adjustments on the fly, which can intelligently learn from terrain and rider feedback to automatically select the perfect damper setting for our riding. Upgraded DT Swiss XRC 1200 carbon wheels give us a race-ready wheelset outfitted with DT Swiss´s most advanced 180 hubs for premium performance all over the mountain. This build is topped off with additional premium components such as the RockShox Reverb AXS dropper post, SRAM Level Ultimate brakes with upgraded Centerline X rotors, and a carbon fiber Race Face handlebar for elite-level performance.

*Due to a high demand in the global supply chain and bike industry since the start of the pandemic, material weight and exact components are subject to change. We are working diligently to keep tech specs updated, and any adjustments will be of equal or better spec level.

Heads up - We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning-and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you´ll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearheads are always here to help.
