Yeti Cycles ASR Ultimate 40th Anniversary XX T-Type Cabon Wheel Mtn Bike

ASR 40th T85 revives a legacy with ultralight speed, custom detail, and modern XC tech

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve never ridden a bike that feels this connected to mountain biking’s roots and the future at the same time. The ASR 40th is light, fast, and aggressive, but the detail—every anodized violet part, the custom grips, the silver FOX suspension—it’s more than a race bike. It’s a celebration. This thing climbs like a rocket and floats through flowy singletrack like it’s on rails. It’s absolutely unreal."

Forty years ago, a crew of Colorado misfits sparked something big in mountain biking—fast bikes, raw talent, and that unmistakable Turq paint. The ASR 40th Anniversary T85 is a tribute to those roots and a showcase of what happens when Yeti goes all-in. Crafted in limited numbers—just 200 individually numbered bikes—the ASR 40th is built to climb like a featherweight and descend like a dream, wrapped in custom details that echo the golden age of Yeti racing.

Beneath the anniversary livery lies a modern XC rocket: a 115mm TURQ carbon frame paired with a 130mm FOX Factory 34 SL fork and FLOAT SL rear shock, both finished with silver hardware exclusive to this build. SRAM’s XX Eagle Transmission and Ultimate brakes are fully customized with 3D Violet accents, while the Chris King headset and bottom bracket anchor the build with precision and polish. Maxxis Forekaster tires get custom turquoise hot patches, ODI revives their Speed grips from the original molds, and DT Swiss delivers an ultra-light XMC 1200 SPLINE wheelset that’s both race-day fast and retro-true.

Every detail is curated. Every part intentional. The ASR 40th isn’t just a bike—it’s a milestone in motion.

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.
