Yeti has unveiled a new special edition of its ASR cross-country bike as part of the brand's 40th anniversary celebrations.
The bike features a forgotten historic livery of turquoise and grey, which adorned the bikes of Jimmy Deaton and Juli Furtado in the 90s.
The brand has celebrated previous anniversaries with bike releases, most recently its 35th with the ARC.
The new limited-edition frame is fully wireless, unlike the standard ASR, which features cable ports for use with mechanical groupsets.
Yeti has worked alongside other brands to give the 40th Anniversary ASR a fully custom spec list, resulting in plenty of nostalgic details.
A notable mention goes to the Fox 34 SL fork, which is painted to match the brand’s famous turquoise colourway and features silver hardware.
The fork has also been bumped up by 10mm compared to the standard ASR, now providing 130mm of travel.
Elsewhere, the Chris King and SRAM parts feature a 3D Violet theme, adding a retro feel to the bike.
Polished DT Swiss Revolite spokes are used in the wheelset, alongside 3D Violet hubs that will bring a sparkle to sunny days. Maxxis Forekaster tyres with turquoise hot patches are wrapped around the wheels.
Original moulds were located to revive the ODI Yeti grips, with metal wire neatly attached to keep them from wandering out of place.
The bike is available for purchase, with Yeti making only 200 examples, priced at £13,999 / $13,900.
There’s little else to say about the bike other than we’re big fans of this retro-inspired special edition, so we’ll let the photos below do the rest.
