Yeti ARC Carbon C2 2021 Large
The Yeti ARC series has cyclocross and cross country models in aluminum and carbon, some of which are pretty average, with others less than impressive. For the most part, you can be assured of good speeds and responsive riding, but these bikes may just be a little too expensive for what they deliver. Read full review
Yeti ARC Review
Yeti started out just as the popularity of MTB riding was reaching impetus, back in the 80s, and soon went on to sponsor some world class athletes. Considering this company has had some pioneering technology in its time, the ARC series was kind of a let down, at least to us.
While the enthusiast-level road aluminum cyclocross model performed incredibly well, we feel thanks to the Shimano Ultegra groupset, the carbon trail and cross country models failed to do justice.
We liked the performance on the ARC-C X01, a responsive and quick to accelerate bike. The average specs gave us nothing to complain about. But over at the entry level, you’ve got to pay over $3000 for some very underwhelming performance. Now, if you’re just learning the ropes of cross country, you’re not focused on performance. But at this price, you’re not getting a good deal. The cheaper SRAM components, sluggish wheelset, and pointlessly heavier-than-average frames did not deliver.
+Pros:
- Some models ultra light
- Excellent enthusiast level cyclocross
- XC models pretty average
- Good acceleration and responsiveness on ARC-C
-Cons:
- Cheaper SRAM components on some models
- Expensive for the specs
- Sluggish 29ers
The Verdict
Unimpressive componentry and frames, and way too expensive for bikes of the same grade.
Yet is a good brand, but for what the Yeti ARC bikes are supposed to deliver, we wouldn’t say these are really up to the mark. If you don’t mind spending somewhere like 2K on the enthusiast-level cyclocross ARC-X, then that’s probably a worthwhile buy.

Not all hardtails are made the same, with some being much more capable than others. The Yeti ARC Carbon C2 Bike is back and ready to rip the trails. The ARC is far beyond a juiced-up thorough-bred XC race bike with its 130mm fork that makes it a massively capable trail bike. The ARC has a lightweight and highly durable carbon frame that features integrated ISCG-05 tabs, a modern approach to hardtail geometry, no-rattle internally routed cable tubes, dual-sided downtube mounts, and room for a 200mm dropper post.The C2 version of the Yeti ARC Carbon comes with a SRAM GX Eagle 1×12-speed drivetrain that includes a cassette that has a hill-crushing 10-52T gear range that makes climbing and riding in rough terrain. SRAM Level TL hydraulic disc brakes provide confidence-inspiring stopping power so you can descend under control. DT Swiss M1900 wheels are paired with Maxxis tires that can be set up tubeless for a smoother ride, better traction, and fewer flats. With the Fox Transfer dropper post, you’ll be able to quickly lift and lower your saddle for more efficient climbing and safer descending.FeaturesC1 carbon frame with ISCG-05 tabs, internally tunneled cable routing, and room for 200mm dropper postsSRAM GX Eagle drivetrain performs excellently in demanding terrainSRAM Level TL hydraulic disc brakes provide confidence-inspiring stopping powerTubeless-ready rims and tires for a smoother ride, better traction, and fewer flatsFox Transfer dropper post lets you quickly lift and lower your saddleSPECIFICATIONSFrameC1 CarbonForkFox Performance 34, 130mm TravelRear Shock-HeadsetCane Creek 40 IntegratedShiftersSRAM GX Eagle, 1×12-SpeedFront DerailleurNopeRear DerailleurSRAM GX EagleCranksetSRAM GX Eagle, 32TBottom BracketSRAM DUB BB92ChainSRAM GX EagleCassetteSRAM GX Eagle 1275, 10-52TBrakesSRAM Level TLWheelsetDT Swiss M1900TiresMaxxis Minion DHF 29 x 2.6″ / Maxxis Rekon 29 x 2.6″HandlebarRace Face Aeffect R 35 x 760mmStemRace Face Ride 35 x 50mmGrips/Bar TapeODI Elite ProSeatpostFox Transfer 31.6mm, 175mm TravelSeatclampNuttedSaddleWTB Silverado CustomIntended UseTrailNote: Components are subject to change without notice.METRICINCHYeti ARCSizeSmallMediumLargeExtra LargeA: Seat Tube Length380410450495B: Effective Top Tube577.4604.3626653.4C: Stack631.7638.9645.1654.3D: Reach420445465490E: BB Height310310310310F: BB Drop—-G: Head Tube Length95102.9109.6119.6H: Head Tube Angle67 Adeg67 Adeg67 Adeg67 AdegI: Seat Tube Angle76 Adeg76 Adeg76 Adeg76 AdegJ: Standover Height723722720720K: Chainstay Length433433433433L: Wheelbase1143.51171.51194.21223.1Crank Arm Length170 mm170 mm170 mm170 mmStem Length50 mm50 mm50 mm50 mmHandlebar Width760 mm760 mm760 mm760 mmSuggested Rider HeightFrame SizeSmallMediumLargeExtra LargeRider Height5’1″ – 5’7″ 155 – 169 cm5’5″ – 5’11” 165 – 180 cm5’10” – 6’3″ 178 – 191 cm6’1″ – 6’7″ 185 – 201 cmYeti ARCSizeSmallMediumLargeExtra LargeA: Seat Tube Length15.016.117.719.5B: Effective Top Tube22.723.824.625.7C: Stack24.925.225.425.8D: Reach16.517.518.319.3E: BB Height12.212.212.212.2F: BB Drop—-G: Head Tube Length3.74.14.34.7H: Head Tube Angle67.0 Adeg67.0 Adeg67.0 Adeg67.0 AdegI: Seat Tube Angle76.0 Adeg76.0 Adeg76.0 Adeg76.0 AdegJ: Standover Height28.528.428.328.3K: Chainstay Length17.017.017.017.0L: Wheelbase45.046.147.048.2Crank Arm Length170 mm170 mm170 mm170 mmStem Length50 mm50 mm50 mm50 mmHandlebar Width760 mm760 mm760 mm760 mmSuggested Rider HeightFrame SizeSmallMediumLargeExtra LargeRider Height5’1″ – 5’7″ 155 – 169 cm5’5″ – 5’11” 165 – 180 cm5’10” – 6’3″ 178 – 191 cm6’1″ – 6’7″ 185 – 201 cm | Yeti ARC Carbon C2 Bike 2021 Large, Turquoise
