When our local trails become mundane and don't have the same excitement as when we first started riding them, we whip out the Yeti ARC and hit the trails like it's the first time. With a lightweight and aggressive frame built around a 130mm fork, the ARC is a trail-ready hardtail that gives us a new ride feel compared to our full suspension steeds. The ARC has aggressive geometry so that we can excel on an array of trails, and the dual 29-inch tires have us maintaining our speed through rock gardens and over trail obstacles. A 67-degree headtube angle makes us more stable on steep descents without taking away our flat ground agility and turning radius. Short 433mm chainstays across all sizes ensure a snappy and playful ride that can pop off the ground and jib through the trail effortlessly. The ARC is finished off with integrated frame protection at the chainstays and downtube to ward off scratches and impacts, two water bottle mounts so we can leave the hydration bag at home, and neat internal cable routing for a silent ride. The Yeti ARC T4 XX1 AXS build is a testament to top-of-the-line engineering. Its TURQ carbon frame, a hallmark of Yeti's premium quality, provides a lightweight and stiff structure for precision riding. The mixed SRAM XX1 AXS/ X01 drivetrain ensures smooth and precise shifting, while the Fox Factory 34 FIT4, 130mm fork, offers trail-shredding performance with customizable suspension settings. The Race Face ARC Offset 30 rims and DT Swiss 350 hubs deliver quality performance and can be upgraded for even faster engagement. The Fox Transfer dropper post allows for seamless saddle height adjustments, and the SRAM Level TLM brakes provide ample stopping power in a lightweight setup. The Yeti ARC T4 is a masterpiece of design and functionality, with features like Yeti Carbon handlebars and SRAM Carbon cranks that keep the weight to a minimum.*Due to a high demand in the global supply chain and bike industry since the start of the pandemic, m...
