Thread: AS-R 7 Set ups and stuff

Hey to all you Yeti fans out there...

Anyone have any updated reviews of their AS-R 7 's? I am really trying to find a deal on one - or am considering building one, but want to hear a bit more.

I have literally searched everywhere on the interwebs for this - and comparatively to other bikes out there, there is relatively little info/stoke.

If you have pics - post them up, I'd like to see your set up.

What's your ride style? What do you like - what don't you? Where (what type trail) do you find yourself pulling out this horse for use?

Thanks in advance.

Seems like there are a lot of them out there for sale. Check the Colorado craigslist listings. There is a big Yeti following in Colorado and probably your best bet to find one. Also seems to be quite a few on pinkbike. I have never rode one it has never been a bike that interest me for my type of riding.

I think the word was they had a really tall standover and never sold very well. There were solid deals on them for a while due to them being discontinued, I would look for NOS deals.

I demo'ed one and the suspension felt nice but the geometry felt tall and goofy.

It looks like my buddy is selling his up here in Breck

I felt the geometry was a little steep for a 7" bike, but otherwise a nice ride.

I just ordered a ASR-7 frame and starting to build one up. They had a good deal at competive cyclist on the 2011 frameset if you're a medium:

I'll post some pics once I have it built up. Planning to put on a Rockshox Totem to slacken the headtube angle compared to the 160mm fork in the specs.
