ARC C2 Eagle 90 Mountain Bike

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The ARC C2 puts Yeti's TURQ carbon hardtail chassis under you with a Fox Performance 36 SL fork, full Eagle 90 drivetrain, and a 130mm travel setup tuned for trail riding rather than XC racing. The 67 degrees head angle and 76-degree seat tube create a modern, aggressive position without feeling stretched."

Who It's For

Trail riders entering the ARC lineup who want TURQ carbon construction and modern hardtail geometry.

The ARC C2 targets riders who want the stiffness and weight advantage of a carbon hardtail without premium components they don't need yet. It suits those who ride singletrack regularly and want a bike that's equally at home on a pump track, a long trail day, or a bikepacking route.

What It's For

Trail riding, pump tracks, and mixed-terrain adventures.

The ARC is built around a 130mm fork for a trail-capable setup that goes well beyond a dedicated XC race bike. The 67-degree head angle and 76-degree seat tube angle keep the bike stable on descents and efficient on climbs without compromise. The chainstay length keeps the rear end consistent and snappy at each size.

Why We Like It

TURQ carbon stiffness and a complete spec at the most accessible ARC price.

Yeti's TURQ carbon construction flows the downtube, seat tube, and chainstays into each other for a frame that feels stiff, direct, and fast without transmitting harsh feedback to the rider. Internally routed cable tubes with secure closures and an integrated chain slap protector keep the ride quiet and the setup clean. ISCG-05 tabs add chain guide compatibility for riders who want extra security on technical terrain.

Fox Performance 36 SL fork is well matched to the ARC's trail-focused geometry. Eagle 90 drivetrain runs a wide, practical gear range with a 10-52 cassette with a 32T chainring. SRAM Motive Bronze brakes with 180mm rotors front and rear provide reliable stopping power on the terrain this bike is designed for.

Maxxis Minion DHF 2.6 front and Rekon 2.6 rear is a versatile tire pairing that handles loose, rooted, and hardpack trail surfaces. OneUp dropper post is sized per frame for full-stroke use, supporting up to 200mm on larger frames. Dual-sided downtube mounts add bikepacking bag compatibility for riders who want to take the ARC further into the backcountry.

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.
