Less gears means bigger spacing, and better shifting, 12 speed narrow chains and tight spacing so it’s more likely prone to shifting issues than a 11 speed

I am 150lbs and 5'8'' I typically prefer a 470 reach. The ASR large is 465 so with a 40mm stem it feels great for me. But do note, sizing is very personal preference and use case specific. And the bike weight 24lbs :)

I did this with an evil following a couple years ago. Sid ultimate 35 mm 120, around 25 pounds. Same exact drivetrain except for older race face next sl. Abso black chainring. Mag mtsl with galfers. It was great on alpine/ hiking trails. But flow trails. Nope. Forks below pikes are waay too flexy for shredding imo. But for an all day/adventure mountain bike this is perfect. Most people around here are getting e-bikes for all day bikes. I applaud you, sir!!!!

I've been looking for a short travel full sus bike (currently have a Rail 29, Rail 27.5 and a beater 140mm hardtail), and really have been back and forth between the Ranger and SB120. Would the ASR be a good choice if I'm not doing any racing? Or stick with one of the others as a more all around short travel bike? And does this mean your Ranger is for sale?

Wondering how the two compare assuming you have some saddle time on the SB100. Thanks!
@WorldwideCyclery
6 күн бұрын
Nice! Sb100 is a rad bike. The ASR definitely takes some elements of that but is lighter, faster and just more refined in terms of how the bike handles and feels for its weight and travel. Well worth doing a demo on an ASR if you can so you can see what I mean.

I have been riding the crap out of my izzo "uncaged 7" in reality it's all those parts on a black frame. The capability of that bike at 120 / 120 is unreal. Taken it to shuttle zones, it's efficient with long pedals and gravel transfers. I didn't think I'd need it but it's got a dual lockout and I love that on gravel road climbs.

Yo! I have the first edition Izzo Pro Race and I'm considering putting Sid suspension on it or buying a new ASR. I live in North Texas and 90% of riding is pedaling, always... We have punchy ups and downs but tons of undulating terrain with not much elevation gain. We do have our fair share of tech but its all at lower speeds or climbing. Do you think the Sid setup would be worth doing? Edit: lol I just realized, we've already chatted on the FB izzo form!

@liamwoods5353

while many new xc bikes have a "single pivot flex stay" suspension design, the overall kinematics and where the "flex" in the stay comes are much different. The ASR is very open and active off the top and has a linear suspension feel. So you get lots of small bump traction especially when going downhill and also you use all the travel making the most of the 115mm out back. I think it performs better dh than any other single pivot flex stay bike out right now.

Very good question. This bike is lighter and faster but also flexier and not quite as stable in the chunky or really steep stuff. So although the travel is similar, the ASR handles more like a fast featherweight XC bike and the Ranger more like a trail bike that is more capable.

Killer rig Jeff👍🏻 Just took delivery of a BC40 frame and can’t decide on fork travel. Allied tells me it works great with 130 even though designed around 120. Bike will be used specifically for multi day XC including the 2025 BCBR and some stages are known for some gnarly descending. How often have you second guessed your choice of front travel on this Yeti?
