ARC Turq Mountain Bike Frame

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"TURQ carbon construction, Pressfit BB92, ISCG-05 tabs, UDH interface, dual-sided downtube mounts, and a geometry spec that sits at 67 degrees head angle with a 76-degree seat tube across all four sizes. It accepts a 130mm fork, runs full-stroke droppers up to 200mm on larger sizes, and routes both mechanical and wireless builds cleanly."

Who It's For

Informed riders building a custom trail or adventure hardtail.

The ARC TURQ frame targets riders who want full control over their component selection and are comfortable sourcing and assembling a complete build. It suits those upgrading from a complete bike who want to carry over quality components, or riders spec-ing a dedicated setup for trail riding, bikepacking, or pump track use.

What It's For

Trail builds and bikepacking rigs on a chassis that doesn't limit your options.

The ARC is built around a 130mm fork standard for a trail-capable geometry. The 67-degree head angle keeps the front end stable on descents while the 76-degree seat tube angle holds riders in an efficient pedal position on climbs. A consistent 17-inch chainstay length across all sizes keeps the rear end snappy and predictable.

Why We Like It

TURQ carbon stiffness, versatile mounting options, and broad compatibility.

Yeti's TURQ carbon flows the downtube, seat tube, and chainstays into each other for a frame that transmits power directly without adding unwanted feedback from the trail. Internally routed cable tubes with secure closures at entry and exit points keep builds quiet on both mechanical and wireless setups. An integrated chain slap protector eliminates chain-on-frame noise without adding weight or requiring an aftermarket solution.

The Pressfit BB92 shell with integrated ISCG-05 tabs keeps the drivetrain interface lightweight and adds chain guide compatibility for riders who want extra security on technical terrain. UDH interface supports SRAM Eagle Transmission and legacy drivetrains without adapters, keeping the frame adaptable as component standards evolve. Dual-sided downtube mounts add bikepacking bag compatibility for riders who want to take the ARC further than a single trail day.

Full dropper post compatibility supports up to 200mm on larger frame sizes, keeping the ARC relevant as dropper post standards continue to grow. The 148mm x 12mm BOOST rear axle and internally tunneled cable routing are shared across all three complete builds, confirming the frame is engineered for long-term use across a wide range of setups.
