Modern XC courses don't reward the geometry that won races a decade ago, and the Yeti ASR TURQ Carbon Frame was built with that in mind. The 66. 5-degree head tube angle, low bottom bracket, and size-specific chainstays put us in a position to pedal hard, corner fast, and commit to descents that would have been unusual on an XC course not long ago. The flex stay suspension runs 115mm of travel on a near-linear leverage curve that keeps pedaling efficient through the mid-stroke, then ramps in the final quarter so drops and rough race lines don't deflect the bike off course. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"Yeti's carbon work on this frame is what makes the geometry viable at this weight. Every ply is doing structural work, and size-specific layups mean the ride character holds across every size."Building up the Yeti ASR TURQ Carbon Frame and want help dialing in the right spec?
