Summary

The Yeti ARC trail bike is celebrated for its modern geometry, versatile performance, and playful yet capable ride quality. It excels on smooth trails and technical ascents, offering a balanced and predictable experience. However, its low bottom-bracket height can lead to crank strikes, and its high price point is a notable drawback.

Pros
  • Modern geometries

  • Balanced and predictable ride characteristics

  • Excellent traction with Maxxis Rekon tires

  • Quiet ride with no cable rattle

  • Well-rounded performance on various terrains

Cons
  • Low bottom-bracket height leads to crank strikes

  • High price point

  • Limited water bottle capacity

Key Quotes
The harder and faster the Yeti is flogged on these types of trails, the more comfortable it seems.

MBR
Yeti ARC T1: first ride review - MBR

Sep 2020 · James Bracey

With its latest hardtail - the Yeti ARC T1 - this iconic brand reimagines one of its retro classics for the modern era. If only the pricing was retro too...

Highs
  • Geometry and handling of a full suspension trail bike makes it far more capable than many hardtails. Low weight induces less fatigue on long rides. Wickedly fun down any trail.

Lows
  • Sometimes you only remember it’s a hardtail when it’s too late. Nearly £5k is strong money for a hardtail.

Yeti Introduces Re-envisioned ARC Trail Hardtail

Aug 2020

This is not your father’s Yeti ARC. What was once a no holds barred cross-country race bike is back, but this time in 29er trail hardtail form. That means a slack’ish 67-degree headtube angle, 76-degree seat tube angle, beefy (for a hardtail) Fox 34 130mm fork, plus complimentary components, including a 175mm Fox Transfer dropper post, 760mm bars, 50mm stem, 180mm rotors, 30mm wide wheels, and traction enhancing Maxxis 2.6 tires.

Yeti Introduces the 35th Anniversary ARC Hardtail

Jul 2020

The first time we saw the Yeti ARC was in 1991. If you were to go back in time with this 35th anniversary model, you'd get accused of witchcraft, but the colors would still be totally rad.
