Yeti ARC
Yeti ARC details
Perfect for: Full-throttle XC rides, all day epics, and wild bikepacking adventures
Yeti has brought their famous ARC bike with a vengeance, and while the name traces its roots back to mountain biking legend, the new generation is focused solely on the future. Although it's a hardtail, the new ARC is spec'd to be much more than an aggressive cross country bike, although it would surely crush any XC course you can find.
The ARC is designed for massive climbs, fast and furious flow trails, and adventures so big you'll want to carry some extra gear. Within the Yeti lineup, the ARC is entirely its own beast, and this beast rips.

Perfect for: fast paced epics on terrain that varies as much as your interests

The SB120 is a go-everywhere, ride-everything, speed-focused trail machine that's made to tackle the biggest climbs and descents on the mountain.
The 130/120mm travel platform is never outgunned and the geometry helps you translate your effort into maximum forward momentum when you're pedaling. Big traverses, huge climbs, fast descents, all day fun. That's the SB120.

With plenty of travel for big air and big terrain, it’s best suited for park and aggressive trail fun, but it still maintains great uphill efficiency for a well-rounded ride that’s a blast for any situation.

A look at Yeti’s TURQ and C/series carbon fiber
The best carbon fiber for mountain bikes
Yeti is a performance brand dedicated to providing riders the best possible experience, and they believe that a carbon fiber frame is the best way to start the process.
Two level of incredible carbon
Yeti offers 2 types of carbon for their bikes, C carbon and T carbon. Both are incredible, but read on to see which is right for you.
TURQ series carbon
T/series, or TURQ carbon, is Yeti’s elite frame material and layup that’s offered on their highest-end models.
No detail is spared in the making of these gorgeous frames, and Yeti pinpoints the precise areas where ultimate stiffness is a must and areas where compliance is key.
The result is an extremely lightweight frame that’s perfect for mountain biking, and it’s what Yeti team riders race to victory on the toughest courses in the world.
C/series carbon
In order to offer bikes at different price points, Yeti created their C/series carbon for riders who want incredible quality but don’t mind a little bit extra weight.
By making a few changes to the TURQ layup, Yeti is able to make a frame that’s more cost effective for riders while maintaining the same level of strength, stiffness, and compliance.
The only tradeoff is a small weight penalty, or about 225g per frame.
Yeti’s Switch Infinity suspension
At the heart of every Yeti bike is the Switch Infinity system. If you haven't heard about Yeti’s uniquely capable suspension, here are the main takeaways:
The Switch Infinity system uses a translating pivot that moves up and down on rails as it progresses through the travel, but what does that mean for you?
Super tunable
For starters, it means that the anti-squat curve and the leverage ratio can be tuned independently, and that’s a capability the competition can’t duplicate.
You can mount the system in different ways depending on what characteristics you’re looking for.
Great on climbs, dominant on descents
Switch Infinity’s initial high anti-squat keeps the shock from affecting your pedal stroke so you can power up climbs with efficiency.
Once it heads further into the travel, that anti-squat level diminishes so you can reap the full benefits of the shock and enjoy a bottomless feel that’ll have you sending it big.
Yeti MTB Clothing
Yeti makes some of our favorite gear to wear, including mountain bike shorts and shirts that perform great out on the trail and look good on the street.
