Yeti ASR7 Demo

Demoing the Yeti ASR7 on some XC trails. It pedals extremely well and makes everything so easy that it's funny. I don't feel the weight while pedaling on flats or climbs, but my heart and lungs sure knows what it weighs (~32 lbs).

Note: I spent 8AM-2PM riding San Juan Trail (which was surprisingly hot and I was fully kitted out) earlier in the day with my buddy (black guy), so I was extremely worn out when I demo'd this.

Trail is Sycamore Canyon, Riverside CA and I'm a weekend warrior that only has 29er XC bikes. Demo took place at JensonUSA, Riverside, on April 1, 2011.

@Yetibiker11 Once I get on a SB-66, I'll have that answer for you. The buzz surrounding the SB-66 caused quite a stir, but it always takes a good ride for me to acknowledge any hype, though I don't really have any doubt that it's a great bike. I just want to know the differences and if it's overall a better bike. For me, I wanted a bike to put a 36 fork on and stand up to the abuse I was wanting to dish out, plowing through the roughest stuff at speeds I wanted to go and the 7 did just that.

How would you compare the ASR 7 to the new SB 66?

@JoeHard17 He's like my guide on everything mountain biking. I was relatively new and he helped this guy out like he helped me out a few months ago and he's been my riding buddy for a while now. We ran into this guy when he was stopped at a top of a hill near the trailhead and invited him to join along, since he didn't really know the trail. We were just fooling around on demo bikes anyways.

Was this some sort of class or something? Seems like that black dude kept showing the other guy stuff and you we're just playing around having a good time on the rocks.

:D
