FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (1 OF 2)
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TURQ AND CARBON SERIES ASR?
TURQ Series bikes are manufactured with the highest quality and best-performing carbon fiber
available and offer the perfect balance of stiffness, durability, and compliance. The result is a bike
that feels smooth, solid and aggressive. Carbon series bikes use a modified carbon fiber layup of
our TURQ Series bikes. By using different materials and tweaking the fiber layup, we are able to
make a more aggressively priced carbon high-performance mountain bike while maintaining the
strength and stiffness of its higher end sibling. The carbon series ASR weighs a bit more, about
160g for a frame.
CAN I REPLACE OR MODIFY ANY YETI FRAME PARTS ON MY ASR?
All replacement frame parts for your ASR can be found through your local dealer or on our
webstore. Only genuine Yeti parts should be used when replacing any parts on your frame. We
know there are a lot of aftermarket products out there that seem legit but we do not have the
ability to qualify and ensure all of these products are safe to use on our frames. If it is found that
any frame part has been modified or replaced all warranties will be voided and all liability will
be assumed by the customer.
CAN I CHANGE OR UPGRADE THE SPEC COMPONENTS ON MY ASR?
There are many options in aftermarket parts to upgrade or personalize your bike. Some parts are
standardized, especially from the big brands like Fox, Shimano, SRAM etc. You should always
confirm with a professional mechanic that your parts are the correct standard and correctly and
securely mount to your bike without any interference or play. Pay special attention to all the bike's
standards and check the fit before use.
CAN I USE AN ANGLESET ON THE ASR?
The ASR was designed with an integrated headset which has the headset cups molded into the
frame so you can easily drop the bearings into the cups. There are some aftermarket angle-
sets available for this style headset however the frame was not tested for the use of these and
therefore should not be used. Yeti's warranty will be voided if it is found an angleset was installed
on the frame and all liability will be assumed by the customer. See "What travel fork is the ASR
designed to use" for more information.
WHAT TRAVEL FORK IS THE ASR DESIGNED TO USE?
The ASR is designed to run a 120mm travel fork. We tested this frame to 20mm over the spec
fork. So if you're feeling the need to beef up the fork you can run up to a 140mm fork no problem.
Bottom line - max axle to crown measurement of 555mm. Increasing your fork travel will slacken
the head angle and seat tube angle and raise the bottom bracket. Running a shorter fork is fine
too if that suits you. Shortening the fork will steepen the head angle and seat tube angle and
lower the bottom bracket. For more geometry information, check out the geometry section.
HOW BIG OF A TIRE CAN I FIT ON THE ASR?
The short answer is the ASR can accept up to a 2.4" tire. There is great tire clearance on the ASR
but tire sizes vary widely by manufacturers, so it is hard to give a number that works for all brands.
CAN I FIT A WATER BOTTLE INSIDE THE FRONT TRIANGLE?
Yes, all frames have mounts for water bottles on the seat tube and down tube. We designed the
ASR to accommodate at least one standard sized water bottle inside each front triangle. Our
recommended max bottle capacity per size are outlined below, but exact fitment may depend on
your specific shock, cages, and bottles of choice.
XS: 21oz on seat tube, 15oz on down tube
S-XL: 21oz on seat tube, 24oz on down tube
We recommend using Yeti's 15oz Hot Lap bottle for any tight-clearance fitment and a side-entry
cage for easiest access.
WHAT CRANKS AND BOTTOM BRACKET CAN I USE ON THE ASR?
The ASR bottom-bracket standard is BSA 73mm and only wide "q" factor cranks are compatible.
It is readily compatible with Shimano, SRAM, and RaceFace cranks, but a fit check is required for
other brands.
WHAT REAR WHEEL AXLE FITS ON MY ASR?
The ASR is designed to work exclusively with SRAM's Universal Derailleur Hanger at 12x148mm
spacing. This axle has a thread pitch 12x1.0 and a length of 172mm. Note that this axle is only
compatible with frames specifically designed with the Universal Derailleur Hanger.
WHAT TYPE OF HEADSET DOES THE ASR USE?
The ASR uses an Integrated 41mm/52mm tapered headset. This system allows for the headset
bearings to be contained inside the head tube for an overall lower ride height, more simplified
installation, and increased stiffness.
HOW BIG OF A ROTOR WILL FIT ON THE FRAME?
The ASR has a direct mount rear brake tab and can run a 160mm rotor without the need for a
brake adaptor. With the use of a brake adaptor the frame can accept up to a 180mm rotor.
CAN I RUN A STEALTH SEATPOST DROPPER ON THE ASR?
Yes. The ASR has routing options for stealth only.
