[Closed] Yeti ASR5 Sizing?

I'm 5"10 and I rode a L with a 50mm stem. It was perfect for me, but I do like long bikes. I also ride a Cotic BFe in a L

5'11 and Medium with 70mm stem - prefer a shorter TT cause my locale is tight and twisty. I've sat / demo'd a large and agree with rhysw, it'd be long for me - more racy than chuckable.

Localhero94 who may or may not be along today has a large and is 6'1 or 6'2 I believe. I sat on his and preferred mine due to the long TT.

5'11 with a large frame and 50mm stem.

I may have a large for sale if interested?

Just to confuse things - I'm 5'11 with a medium ASR5 (18.5") frame and a 50mm stem.

It doesn't feel even vaguely cramped.

I like my bikes fast and whippy, rather than looooong.

I'd go for the large (barn door size) - given Yeti's sizing the XL must be the size of an actual barn.. 😯

a bit over 6'4" and on a L with 50mm stem. you sound leggier for your height than me so L would be plenty long enough by the sounds of it. I would have liked to try a XL to run a super short stem, but couldn't get a test ride on anything bigger than a L.

Late edit: just realised 18.5 is actually a Yeti 'small'.. 😯

But the medium is only 18.8 isn't it?

The main difference is in the top tube.

I think it's about 20-30mm shorter, possibly something like that.

I was on a medium, 70mm stem at 5'8" but I do like long bikes

I'm 6'1 and ride a medium + 70mm stem. Which is longer than most manufacturer's large frames. I'd probably be just as happy on a large with a shorter stem, but XL must be massive.

And to confuse even more, I'm 6ft, 33-34" leg, ride a large with 70mm stem.

I did have a 60mm stem but it felt 'wrong' and the 70mm feels better.

I did have a (long) medium C456 before that though, so maybe I like bikes longer than most?

6'1", 33" inside leg, Large ASR5C with 50mm stem.

I'd take a look at the Yeti website to see what frame size they recommend for your height. They're usually right from a sizing perspective.

right, it looks like it'll be a large then with a 70mm stem.

on further inspection of the yeti website it would appear the XL is for giants.

i'd be interested to see pictures of setups....

Okayeee... any excuse 😉

Fox FIT Kashima 140 Floats w/ travel reduced to 125mm

Rode up Cadair Idris the other week on the basis of [url= http://vimeo.com/44474810 ]THIS[/url] video with Dan Atherton, much of it rocky and technical, me thinking *there's absolutely no way I'm gonna be able to ride down this flinkin' mountain*. Then, after reaching the summit and hike-a-biking the first 30 meter scramble down*, I was able to ride all the way down bottom of the mountain on this thing. I thought I'd suddenly leapt up an MTB skill-level, but..

It's simply a truly epic bike..

* Which, incidentally, Dan makes look as if riding down some stairs 😯

You appear to be the same size as me (6'2" with longs legs). I've got a large and it fits great. I'm running a 70mm stem and it seems fine.

I've got just over 8" of seat post sticking out.

Just like no_eyed_deer here's mine after an epic climb, medium with 70mm stem, F120 fork, (32inch inside leg btw)*

*the highest point in Epping forest about 102m above Sea level.

😳
Well I am a giant then: mine is XL (6'6 35" leg) with a tiny stem...layback post too so TT does feel 'spacious' 😀

6ft 2" here with a 35" inside leg. . Riding a large with a 60mm stem. Fair bit of seatpost showing..

Mine when it was shiny and new last April...

...it's had some abuse since then and now looks more used 🙂 A very capable bike indeed for the majority of the UK riding.

Out and about getting dirty...
