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.
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
Low bottom-bracket height leads to crank strikes
High price point
Limited water bottle capacity
The harder and faster the Yeti is flogged on these types of trails, the more comfortable it seems.
BIKE MagazineThe new ARC is designed around 29″ wheels with clearance for 2.6″ wide rubber with a 130mm travel fork.

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

Not all progressive trail hardtails have to be grotesque caricatures of modern geometry. The Yeti ARC is shreddy, but in an accessible sort of way.

The 35th Anniversary Yeti ARC is a sweet build that honors the heritage of the brand. But what about those who can’t afford a limited edition, $10k hardtail? Well, if you were hoping that Yeti would eventually release more modest builds of their newest hardtail, you’re in luck – the Yeti ARC is now back […]
