Summary
The Yeti ARC is a modern, versatile cross-country hardtail that blends playful design with serious trail capability. It features updated geometry for a balanced ride, excels in climbing and technical terrain, and offers a quiet, efficient experience with its internal cable routing and frame protectors. While it shines on smooth trails and climbs, its low bottom bracket can lead to crank strikes in rough sections, and its premium price point may deter some.

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...
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 […]
