Summary
The Yeti ARC is celebrated for its modern geometry and versatile performance, blending the efficiency of a hardtail with the capabilities of a full-suspension bike. It excels in climbing and technical ascents, offering a stable and playful ride on smooth trails, though it may show limitations on rougher terrains. The bike's design and build quality are frequently praised, alongside its quiet ride and excellent traction, despite some concerns over its high price and bottom-bracket height.
Modern geometries and versatile performance
Excellent climbing efficiency and technical ascent capability
Quiet ride with no cable rattle and muted chain slap
High-quality build and design
Good traction with Maxxis Rekon tires
Low bottom-bracket height can lead to crank strikes
High price point
Limited water bottle capacity
Press fit BB92 bottom bracket could become noisy
It’s a work of art that lets its lines speak for itself, unadulterated by garish logos.

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 […]
