That Kili flyer 122 is what yeti should have done with an asr5.

I really hope they don't have one on show special at the bike show, otherwise I'll be on here desparately trying to sell a yeti.

Ah, it got you too. I think the terrain and my weight accelerated my failure! I blazed the customer service path for you! What did you go for afterwards? I got a Bandit 26.

Yeah afraid so.
I got a Yeti ASR5 and very happy with it. Shame about the grapil as I loved it, and it had a lot going for it, the geometry and suspension feel was ace. Was well thought out for Uk riding - good mud clearance, tough finish, etc. The geo and fit were spot on, just a shame it folded like butter.

I really hope Genesis dont give up on Mtbs as I really like the brand and don't see Saracen in the same light. Saracen seem to be targeting a younger market with their branding etc. There is definitely a place for Genesis making well thought out quirky bikes, in a similar vein to Cotic and I hope next year they expand their range again. I think Saracen need a reality check on their pricing too.

I cant understand why Yeti ditched the ASR but kept the 575, which is heavier, no carbon rear and only slightly more travel.

My brother picked up a Kili Flyer Cromo last year, still brand new in the box for £1000.
Got one of the Ti frames last year following the PSA.

Built it up with Reba RLTs, a few upgrades on the standard spec here and there, and more white for a smidge under £1,300.
Love it!

Also got a "Sarcin".
An early noughties Blitz which I'm rebuilding.
Happy memories, even if it does weigh more than y0 mumma!!
