Description
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
“This ARC build is everything I want from a hardtail—light, responsive, and way more capable than you’d expect. The TURQ carbon frame feels tight and efficient when climbing, but the 130mm Fox 34 up front makes it surprisingly fun on descents. The new T-Type drivetrain shifts perfectly under power, and the modern geometry keeps the ride feeling dialed whether I’m flowing through singletrack or hammering an all-day loop.”
The Yeti ARC C2 90 isn’t just a hardtail—it’s a trail-hungry rocket with deep roots in mountain bike history. Reimagined for modern riders who demand speed without sacrificing playfulness, the ARC carries Yeti’s TURQ carbon pedigree and updates it with progressive geo, 130mm of front travel, and full Transmission tech. Whether we’re pushing the pace on rolling singletrack or diving into punchy tech, the ARC is stiff where it counts and surprisingly smooth where we want it to be.
This C2 90 build elevates the ride with SRAM’s next-gen Eagle Transmission. Flattop chain, GX cassette, and a direct-mount derailleur come together for quiet, bombproof shifting that never backs down. The FOX 34 Factory FIT4 fork is buttery smooth and ultra-adjustable, and paired with a OneUp dropper and grippy 2.6in Maxxis tires, we’re ready to hit everything from dusty desert loops to rooty forest trails. If you want a hardtail that punches way above its weight class, this is it.
Heads up — We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning—and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you’ll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearheads are always here to help.
