With the AS-R Carbon, Yeti is sending a new marathon bike with 100 millimetres of travel into the race. They are also presenting the SB6c, the new enduro bike from EWS leader Jared Graves.

With 100 millimetres of travel and a 1900 gram carbon frame, the new Yeti ASR-R Carbon is aimed at racers and fast trail enthusiasts. Depending on the rider and frame size, the single-pivot bike will be available in sizes XS and S with 27.5-inch wheels, while the frames from size M to XL will come with 29-inch wheels.

You can choose between black or turquoise as the frame colour.Photo: Yeti You can choose between black or turquoise as the frame colour.

Derived from enduro and DH bikes, the AS-R also has a progressive geometry. A 69 degree steering angle combined with a long top tube and low bottom bracket for a low centre of gravity. The frame will be available in turquoise and black.


SB6c

The Yeti SB6c is the new Enduro-Jared Graves' latest projectile, which is currently extremely successful in the Enduro World Series. The full carbon frame features the same technology as the recently presented SB5c.

Thanks to the Switch Infinity rear triangle, the bike is said to be very stable and capable of pedalling with a lot of propulsion, while at the same time offering the finest sensitivity and swallowing capacity. During compression, the lower pivot point moves about four millimetres in a vertical direction. The rear suspension should provide 157 millimetres of travel.

The very voluminous carbon frame will be available in five sizes. Customers can choose between green, turquoise and black. At 65.5 degrees, the steering angle of the SB6c is on the flat side. Ideal for fast and demanding courses in enduro races. Yeti specifies the seat angle at 73.5 degrees and the chainstay length at 442 millimetres. In size M, the reach should be 426.4 millimetres.
