It’s back. It’s more refined and it’s meaner than ever – want to know more? Compare Yeti ASR Builds and learn about the details that put Yeti back into the pure XC and Cross Country racing map.

The latest Yeti ASR features 115mm of frame travel designed to be paired with 120mm forks. This produces a frame geo with highlights like the 66.5 degree headtube angle as well as the 75.5 degree effective seat tube angle. With the shock mounted on the underside of the top tube the new ASR gains the capacity to mount two water bottles in the front triangle while also benefiting from the seat stay’s location giving the rear triangle improved strength to weight ratios compared to other designs on the market.

T Series verus C Series: TURQ Carbon vs Carbon Frames

Yeti specs TURQ Carbon frames for T series builds and Carbon series for C spec kits.

TURQ Carbon layups are slightly lighter than their Carbon counterparts, but most notably the TURQ Carbon frames are a bit more vibrant and stay that way longer into their service lives.

Heavier riders will really want to pay attention to frame selection. The additional stresses from a larger rider are easier for the more robust TURQ carbon layup to handle.

Lighter riders may still prefer the increased vibrance of the TURQ Carbon frames, but are less likely to see shorter service intervals as heavier riders may.

Yeti ASR Kit Differences

The Yeti ASR is available in 5 build kits. T-Series builds include the T5 XX SL Transmission ,T3 X0 Transmission and T2 builds.

Carbon series bikes are available in the C2 kit as well as the C3 GX Transmission with wireless shifting.

Let’s highlight the differences between Yeti’s factory builds then jump over to the Common Upgrades and Swaps tab for more details on how you may want to modify your new bike to dial in it’s performance.

Transmission versus Cable Driven Build Kit

Yeti ASR TURQ series bikes are available in wireless SRAM T-Type Transmission kits as well as a cable driven T3 X01 and T4 XX1 bike.

With the C3 GX Transmission build Yeti has provided a wireless C-Series bike as well as the cable driven GX C2 build.

Along with the wireless capacity the new Transmission T-Type drivetrain is notably stronger and longer lasting than previous options.

Suspension

ASR C Kits feature the RockShox SID 3P fork as well as Sidluxe Select + 3P rear shock. This can be upgraded to the fork and shock spec’d on the T2 and T3 X0 Transmission bikes, the RockShox SID Ultimate 3P Remote for $600. On the special T5 Ultimate XX SL Transmission riders will find the latest in wireless suspension adjust-ability!

Wheels

The C Series ASR builds feature DT Swiss M1900 wheels. The Turq T2 and T3 X0 Transmission spec the DT Swiss XM1700 with an upgrade option to the new DT Swiss XRC 1200 with Centerline X Rotors.

The XRC 1200 wheels are spec’d on the special T5 Ultimate XX SL Transmission ASR, available only in the Raw Carbon option.

Power Meter

Do you take riding data seriously? Well, Yeti has you covered with the ASR T5 Ultimate XX SL Transmission build. It includes the SRAM XX SL Transmission drivetrain with a power meter!

Common Yeti ASR Upgrades and Part Swaps

Yeti ASR Upgrades and Swaps

Upgrades and Swaps on the Yeti ASR aren’t quite as specific as some of the other bikes. As a XC bike the range of riders from racers to trail riders who prefer a more nimble, poppy bike requires a bit of a difference in spec.

We’re going to touch on some of the upgrades or swaps you “might” want on you Yeti ASR – but if they don’t all make sense for your riding, well, that makes sense!

Light Bikes Require Light Bits

For the riders looking to really cut grams a rigid seat post will do just that. If you’re a rider who doesn’t need the adjustable post on race day then why carry the extra weight? The reality is you’ll want a dropper on your training and most of your fun rides though. So, for this mindset we see riders upgrade to the Reverb AXS seat post to eliminate the cable and allow quick swaps between the dropper and rigid post.

Long Days ON the Saddle

Plan on big days on your ASR? Have a saddle that fits you, like a good fitting saddle? Let us know and let’s get the right contact points on your bike for the most comfortable transition on your new bike.

Some of the Common Yeti Part Swaps and Upgrades

Riders develop spec preferences, particularly on contact points, brakes, wheels or suspension. Whether it’s a must have performance swap or upgrade to getting you that perfect part in the right color to personalize the ASR’s performance or look we have you covered.

Common Yeti Upgrades

These are areas we commonly see riders update a bike purchase. Some swaps and upgrades are personal preference, others are budget or performance choices. Questions? Chat, email or call our expert sales staff and we will help you dial in your perfect Yeti.

Rider Contact Points

Do you have a preferred grip and pedal go-to?

We can provide a range of grips with variable patterns, technology and shape to improve your riding. There might even be a grip in a color to set off your Yeti’s colorway as well.

A lot of riders purchasing a new bike find it a good time to refresh their pedals. We have the best clipless and flat options for a wide range of riding styles at unbeatable prices.

Tires

Like contact points its not unusual for riders to have a “must-have” go to tire spec. This is one of the most common swaps on builds from any manufacturer. With notable performance differences between tread pattern, compound and sidewall lets make sure we get you on the perfect tire setup.

It really comes down to what you like and where you’re using it. Questions on what tires are right for your riding style and locale? No problem – chat with our team about swapping to tires perfect for you on your new MTB.

Thinking about rim protection? We have that covered too. We often see riders use combinations of CushCore PRO and CushCore XC or even a single rim protection strip (usually on the rear tire). Questions? Let us know!

Cockpit

Along with Brakes, Cockpit is the most common place we see part swaps and upgrades. Since fit is so important to your bike it’s not surprising that you’ll want to work with a resource that has more than 1 option!

Handlebar rise and overall stiffness also improve the personalization and performance of your bike. As you trim your bars they will get stiffer due to the decreased lever arm – so if you’ve got narrower shoulders you’ll likely want to start with a narrower bar rather than cutting tons off. Similarly getting the right bar rise will help your setup. Ideally you want your hands in a power position. Too low and the bike will try to pull “under” and out in steep chutes. Too tall and you’ll lose front end grip. While some of this is adapted with headset spacers the preference for performance and looks is generally to have 15-30mm of spacers and get the rest of the rise from the handlebar.

Looking for suggestions? Chat with our team about hand positioning and the advantages of getting the right handlebar rise on your new rig. We have the best in the market from OneUp, Tag, Renthal and Raceface.

Headset

Many riders will update the Cane Creek 40 to a Cane Creek 110 or Chris King headset that will last the service life of the frame. Chris King riders can choose from a range of colors as well.

Brakes

This is one of the most common swaps or upgrades on any bike. Brakes that compliment your riding style and preference make a huge difference on trail. We offer class leading options in a variety of price points from Hope, Magura, Shimano and TRP.

Most riders will update brakes on the Yeti SB140. Updating with BikeCo means we will credit you for the SRAM brakes and get your preferred stoppers on your new bike.

Shimano brakes are very popular and are spec’d on several of the build options. Shimano brakes have good overall power with quick lever throw. This produces a brake with a strong feel.

TRP brakes are similar to the Shimano lineup. The TRP brakes provide a touch more overall power and extra modulation compared to Shimano offerings.

Riders who prefer a bit more modulation or “feel” to their brakes gravitate towards Hope and Magura.

The latest Hope Tech 4 updates have improved their power. This puts the Hope Tech 4 in the Shimano and Magura range for overall power while retaining the excellent modulation Hope has been known for.

Magura brakes are the most frequent swap or upgrade across all Ibis builds. Riders who appreciate modulation and power will find Magura excellent in both aspects. Magura offers models with across a wide price range allowing budget friendly swaps or upgrades. Riders looking for the most adjustability or tuning for their brakes will shop the MT7 with HC3 levers.

Custom Wheels

Handbuilt or custom wheels are another popular upgrade no matter what brand you’re shopping. Custom wheels allow riders to spec a rim, spoke and hub combination as well as build specifics for the ultimate performance.

Custom wheels for Ibis builds usually feature slightly narrower rim options. This will decrease the volume slightly as well as shifting the tire’s shape to provide more grip in high lean cornering. We see many riders work with NOX carbon or WTB, Factor and RideFast alloy options.

Riders also will find traction from using the right spokes and build techniques. Our team will help you define this at time of purchase to ensure you maximize performance and longevity.

Popular hubs from Chris King, Industry Nine, Onyx and Factor are spec’d on Yeti SB140 builds. All of these hubs are available in a range of colors to highlight your build.

Pro Tune Suspension

Take your bike’s performance to the next level with our proprietary Pro Tune Suspension. Our team will custom tune your FOX fork and rear shock and narrow the performance from the FOX Factory range to a more precise setup designed for your riding style, aggression, ground speed, size and terrain.

This is one of the biggest upgrades to any bike – having the suspension dialed in as well as having a resource like BikeCo to help you fine tune the bike at time of delivery and as your riding speeds increase!

BikeCo Pro Tune Suspension – because Every Click Counts.

Yeti ASR Geometry

The Yeti ASR is available in five sizes: X-Small, Small, Medium, Large and X-Large. This provides a wide range of riders access to the cross country ASR. Yeti publishes the ASR has a bike for riders between 4’10” and 6’7″. Work with the team at BikeCo to understand what size ASR is right for your riding and aspirations.

Use the tabs below for more info on the ASR Geo, compare sizes with the Geo Chart as well as see how the ASR measures up against other bikes on the Comparison tab.

Like other Yeti bikes the ASR is sized from rider height, flexibility, application, as well as leg and arm length. Riders who find their height in the cross-over of sizes will determine the better size based typically on inseam, flexibility and riding style.

Those with longer legs tend to upsize to improve riding position. This will increase the wheelbase and produce a bike with a bit more overall speed capacity. Going to a larger size will produce a ride that isn’t quite as snappy as a smaller option would be.

Riders with longer torsos or looking for a more “poppy” trail feel will tend to downsize. Although, with modern MTB frames designed to accommodate increased dropper post lengths riders who prefer the added wheelbase may upsize – so long as the reach doesn’t compromise stem size availability or put a rider “too far” over the front wheel.

If the Yeti ASR is going to be your race bike you’ll take sizing even more seriously. What is you ideal between nimble handling and higher speed capacity? What is the best way to get into an efficient position? Where are the modern “stop” points with cockpit setup for a specific height? Good questions? Talk with our team today and we’ll help you define what size you need based on your riding and aspirations.
