2023 Yeti ARC
A down country dream bike.
The Yeti ARC is back for 2023! The ARC is still dominating the downcountry category so you can get the most out of the trails. The new 130mm fork fulfills all of your short travel dreams. It's better for climbing since the suspension won't take too much of your pedaling power when you're going uphill.
The steeper seat tube angle compliments the longer reach. This combo gives you a more balanced seated pedaling position, and therefore more pedaling efficiency. Boost spacing makes the fork, frame, and wheels stiffer and stronger, in turn making the bike more predictable.
The raised chainstay guard to prevent excess chain slap noise. The universal derailleur hanger also protects the derailleur against chain jams. You can buy a replacement at almost any bike shop. Other Internal cable routing prevents any rattling or rub sounds on your rides.
Fit two water bottles in the frame to stay hydrated all day. Other features include an integrated headset and ISCG 05 tabs. Finally, the frame comes in a new Cobalt blue color in addition to the existing Rhino and Turquoise colors. MSRP ranges from $4,200 to $9,600.
