How it compares
130 mm at the fork almost exactly matches the 130 mm median of the 13 bikes in the “downcountry bike” category in our database. The rear offers 115 mm, 15 mm less than the front. On travel, it slots in between the Yeti ASR and the Yeti ARC in the Yeti range. Yeti builds the frame from carbon.
The Yeti ASR LR does well on weight: 11.1 kg for the X0/90 build is 1.5 kg below the median of comparable bikes (12.6 kg). There are 0.8 kg between the lightest and the heaviest build. The Yeti ASR LR is not a budget bike: even the C2 90 build costs €6,900, while the category median is €5,000. The top build, X0/90, costs €8,200. Yeti uses FOX suspension throughout. Every build gets the same fork, a FOX Factory 34 SL Grip X.
Setup notes for this spec
- Air fork (FOX Factory 34 SL Grip X): the air valve is on top of the left leg under a cap. Change pressure in small steps (about 5 psi (0.34 bar)) and cycle the fork a few times afterwards so the air chambers can equalise.
- Rebound: on FOX suspension the rebound adjuster is red. Always count clicks from fully closed (clockwise to the stop) so you can return to any setting.
- Shock (FOX Factory Float SL): get on the bike in your normal riding position, step off carefully and read the O-ring. Always cycle the shock a few times after pumping.
Target SAG for the Yeti ASR LR
The table converts the recommended SAG percentages into millimetres, so you can check them with the O-ring directly on the stanchion and on the shock shaft. Adjust the air pressure until the value is right. If Yeti specifies its own target SAG for your model, that takes priority.
130 mm fork (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 22 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 26 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 29 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 26 mm |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
The values apply to 2.40″ wide tubeless tyres with a trail casing. With an inner tube add about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi), with an insert take off about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi). Stock tyres: Maxxis Dissector 2.4 EXO / Maxxis Forkaster 2.4 EXO.
| Ready-to-ride weight | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg | 1.43 bar (21 psi) | 1.63 bar (24 psi) |
| 70 kg | 1.55 bar (22 psi) | 1.75 bar (25 psi) |
| 80 kg | 1.67 bar (24 psi) | 1.87 bar (27 psi) |
| 90 kg | 1.79 bar (26 psi) | 1.99 bar (29 psi) |
| 100 kg | 1.91 bar (28 psi) | 2.11 bar (31 psi) |
| 110 kg | 2.03 bar (29 psi) | 2.23 bar (32 psi) |
| 120 kg | 2.15 bar (31 psi) | 2.35 bar (34 psi) |
Air pressure in the fork and shock
You will find a suitable starting pressure on the sticker on the fork stanchion (or on the shock) or in the suspension manufacturers’ setup charts. Our calculator gives you a starting value including rebound for your weight and riding style. What matters afterwards is the measured SAG from the table above.
