Description: 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 full- suspension.
It’s a bit of a secret, but the AS-R Carbon was one of the first bikes that featured our pro- gressive geometry. While others were insist- ing 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 light- ens 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.
