ARC C2 Eagle 90 Mountain Bike

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The ARC has long been one of my favorite hardtails, and this 90 Transmission build really brings it into the modern age. It’s efficient and snappy on climbs, but with the 130mm fork and big tires, I can hit tech lines I wouldn't touch on most hardtails. The FOX Factory fork and Eagle Transmission just tie it all together—it’s a hardtail that rides like a trail bike."

The ARC has always embodied the pure joy of trail riding—nimble, fast, and unapologetically fun. The 2025 ARC C2 90 Transmission pushes that legacy even further, bringing Yeti’s high-performance TURQ Series carbon construction into a progressive hardtail package. With a 130mm FOX Factory 34 up front, modern geometry, and room for big tires, it’s the kind of hardtail that makes us question how much rear travel we really need.

This build pairs SRAM’s wireless Eagle 90 Transmission drivetrain with a 32t crankset and GX 10–52t cassette, delivering crisp, perfectly-tuned shifts every time—even under max load. It’s built to ride hard and stay quiet, with a direct-mount derailleur and flattop chain keeping things clean and bombproof. The FOX FIT4 damper offers low-speed compression adjustment and buttery support, while SRAM G2 R brakes with 180mm rotors provide predictable stopping power when the trail gets loose.

Built on DT Swiss M1900 wheels and wrapped in Maxxis 2.6in rubber, the ARC handles rough terrain and off-camber sections with more confidence than most hardtails. The cockpit is finished with Burgtec alloy bars and stem, ODI Elite Pro grips, and a custom WTB Silverado saddle—all designed to keep things planted and playful. For riders seeking that classic hardtail punch with modern capability, the ARC 90 C2 delivers in spades.
