1.
tapered headtube
The bottom cup uses the 1.5” and the top cup is 1-1/8”. This
creates a very stiff front end in combination with a tapered fork
without adding additional weight.
2.
hydrfOrmed tOp tube
The hydroformed tube produces a stronger, lighter, and more
rigid tube for increased stiffness while reducing weight. It also
allows for greater stand-over clearance.

carbOn dOGbOne
The dogbone here at Yeti is an integral part of our suspension
design. Structurally, the Dogbone significantly reduces side to
side flex of the frames swingarm. Additionally it prevents any side
loading on the rear shock. This is important as to not limit the
performance or life of the rear shock. With any design, the shock
should not be depended on for structural support

frOnt derailleur mOunt
The AS-R 7 utilizes a direct mount for front derailleur. That is
placed on the main pivot. This allows the front derailleur to stay
in perfect shift alignment throughout the frame travel.
