Yeti Cycles ARC Turq Mountain Bike Frame

Why We Like The ARC Turq Mountain Bike Frame

After a 4-year absence from Yeti’s lineup, the ARC is back by popular demand. Designed for a 130mm fork and built with progressive (but not extreme) geometry, this carbon fiber hardtail is no longer a XC-focused race steed like the previous model, but rather a fun-loving and massively capable trail bike that proves you don’t need a full suspension rig to have a good time. After all, there’s no better way to sharpen up your skills and bring yourself closer to the roots of mountain biking than ripping some quality singletrack at wide open speeds aboard your favorite hardtail.
