2022 Yeti ARC T1 Bike

(discontinued)

Custom build 2022 Yeti Arc running 130mm Pike Ultimate, XT/AXS and 30mm ID carbon wheels (Enve m70s and Kovee Pros). 

Have two set ups - one with XC tyres (Fastrack), the other with Dissector/Rekon (with CCore).   With the trail tyres it is an incredible all-rounder - not much you couldn't ride, especially if a fork was shunted up to 150mm (ran a 150mm 36 for a while).  With the XC tyres its a rocket.  Overall, the bike feels really nicely balanced -  long (enough) slack (enough) but still quick to turn and playful.   The quality of Yeti finishing and paintwork is top drawer.   The perfect (non-steel or ti) hardtail for trail riding - it could be used for races as well - similar to a bike like the Ibis DV9 in that respect.   I've also used it on some decent multi-day back-country rides and planning to use it for some long bike packing missions as well...   Overall, there is a lot to like.   Its serious coin for a hardtail (even frame only), but there are sales to be had.
