A decade ago we peaced out of the lycra game. While we were busy getting down, XC got a lot more X, calling for the comeback of a legend. Flashing a crazy-light, zero-redundant carbon layup that's far beyond the previously possible. Featuring 115mm of flex stay suspension for 100% usable travel, and energy saving small-bump compliance. Helping today's racers be faster where they have to be. On first blush it may appear to have peers, but don't get it twisted. The reincarnated ASR is a lot like nothing else.

THE NEW ASR MARKS THE MOST EXTENSIVE CARBON PROJECT WE’VE EVER TACKLED. YIELDING THE LIGHTEST FULL SUSPENSION BIKE IN OUR HISTORY, CONTEMPORISING OUR FLEX STAY DESIGN TO CHECK TODAY’S KINEMATICS STANDARDS, KILLER SMALL - BUMP SENSITIVITY, INSANE TRACTION AND 100% USABLE TRAVEL.
THE ASR IS BACK. WE’VE NEVER MADE A LIGHTER FULL - SUSPENSION BIKE, BUT THAT’S JUST HALF THE STORY. IT BRINGS PROPER SUSPENSION TO PROPER MOUNTAIN BIKE RACING. THE KIND THAT TAKES SKILL, NOT JUST LUNGS.
MADE FOR WINNING THE WORLD.
The ASR is back to win at today’s world cup level. Super light and radically responsive with all the pedaling efficiency? Check.
But that’s just XC table stakes. The bike for modern XC needs modern geometry that’s just as stable tipping it over at 45 km/h as it excels on chest high drops and hugging the inside line on the steepest switchback climb.
-
OUR FASTEST CLIMBING POSITION
Puts riders in a power position to efficiently spin, evenly weight the wheels for traction, and transition more smoothly from saddle to full-throttle sprinting.
-
MORE RESPONSIVE, NO TWITCH
Modern XC rewards brilliant passing, which takes brilliant cornering. The ASR’s forward-bias geometry delivers responsive steering and predictable characteristics to slash fast.
-
“JUST RIGHT†BB HEIGHT
A bottom-bracket positioned high enough to pedal through rock gardens, but low enough to sit below the axles for rail-like cornering thanks to that coveted, “in bike†feel.
SIZE SPECIFIC STIFFNESS.
FINE-TUNED.
Another goal was to engineer each frame for the same ride
characteristics to give every rider the same feel, regardless of size.
Every ASR frame has size-specific carbon schedules tuning at a much more
sensitive level, and accurately matching torsional stiffness and
chassis-flex profiles too. Tedious? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely.
A LEGACY OF FLEX.
The year was 2003 – our flex stay design was a decades ahead approach to XC full suspension. Today, the reincarnated ASR considers the relationships between leverage rate, link size, material properties of the carbon layup and modern short stroke shocks to deliver responsive, efficient, and astonishingly light XC-specific suspension.
AMPLE TYRE CLEARANCE FOR
MODERN FULL-VOLUME RUBBER.
Clearance for a 2.4 tyre with 30mm internal rims
provides maximum traction and ride quality.
