ARC C2 90 Transmission
The Arc is back.
Conjuring up all the nostalgia, hoots and hollars from yesteryear. It’s your instant-feedback steed for any trail. Show it your singletrack, pump track and your bikepack route too. It’s got history to live up to and new history to make. And it’s already impatient.
SECURED FOR SPEED.
While the ARC has roots back to the beginning of mountain biking, this frame is anything but a nostalgic blast from the past. If you run a chain guide, the ARC has integrated ISCG 05 tabs.
SUMMIT PEAKS. MAKE SHAPES.
A modern approach to hardtail geometry, without losing traction in the rear: riders have plenty of room to maneuver and respond to trail feedback without being too stretched out.
Far beyond a juiced up thorough-bred XC race bike, the ARC is built around a 130mm fork for a massively capable trail bike.
THE SOUNDS OF SILENCE
Internally routed cable tubes with secure closures at entry and exit points make rattles a thing of the past. And an all new chain slap protector virtually eliminates that chain on rubber sound, maintaining the serenity of the adventure.
DUAL SIDED DOWNTUBE MOUNTS.
For going deeper. Riding longer. Carrying that thing you wish you brought on your last trip.
FULL-STROKE DROPPERS ENCOURAGED.
If a 200mm drop is your thing, you’ll still have room to spare.
PUT THE POWER DOWN.
The downtube, seat tube and chainstays flow into each other for a stiff and direct feel.

A decade ago we peaced out of the lycra game. While we were busy getting down, XC got a lot more X, calling for the comeback of a legend. The ASR helps today’s racers be faster where they have to be. On first blush it may appear to have peers, but don’t get it twisted — the reincarnated ASR is a lot like nothing else.
IT’S BACK. BECAUSE XC IS X AGAIN.
The ASR is back. We’ve never made a lighter full-suspension bike, but that’s just half the story. It brings proper suspension to proper mountain bike racing. The kind that takes skill, not just lungs.
A LOT LIKE NOTHING ELSE.
The new ASR marks the most extensive carbon project we’ve ever tackled. Yielding the lightest full suspension bike in our history, contemporizing our flex stay design to check today’s kinematics standards, providing proper sag, killer small-bump sensitivity, insane traction and 100% usable travel.
ZERO REDUNDANT CARBON.
Custom ply shapes, critical material choice, intelligent draping methods, and smooth transitions between every carbon ply have eliminated redundant carbon, giving radical strength for super lightweight. Such a boundary pushing schedule driven from in-depth carbon analysis tools marks a Yeti first.
IT’S WHAT’S NOT INSIDE THAT COUNTS.
We wanted to kill carbon redundancy everywhere, not just where it was easy. Our 20+ years of carbon-only experience told us we could remove solid volume at pivots and still exceed the demands of XC, with no downside on performance or bearing life.
SIZE-SPECIFIC STIFFNESS.FINE-TUNED.
Another goal for the ASR was to engineer each frame for the same ride characteristics to give every rider the same feel, regardless of size. Since theASR uses single-ply carbon layups to eliminate redundant carbon, each sheet had to be precision cut. Tedious? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely. Doing so allowed for size-specific tuning at a much more sensitive level, and accurately matching torsional stiffness and chassis-flex profiles too.
A LEGACY OF FLEX
The year was 2003 – our flex stay design was a decade’s ahead approach to XC full suspension. Today, the incarnated ASR considers the relationships between leverage rate, link size, material properties of the carbon layup and modern short stroke shocks to deliver responsive, efficient, and astonishingly light XC-specific suspension.
DUAL DUTY CARBON
In contrast to conventional pivot-placement methodology for longer travel applications, the ASR’s pivot points are positioned so that existing tubing walls make up a significant portion of their shape and structure. To further reduce redundant carbon, and save weight.
LEVERAGE RATE.
The ASR features a near-linear progression curve to deliver the ultimate balance of efficiency in the mid stroke of the suspension – where XC racers spend most of their time. But with 20% sag, it offers small bump sensitivity typically found on longer travel bikes. Plus, the last ¼ of travel is designed to ramp up, so bigger hits and aggressive race lines don’t kick the bike off line.
CABLE MANAGEMENT.
Secure closures at frame entry and exit eliminate rattles and rub. External brake routing from bar to head tube for ease of travel, plus there’s no aero advantage to hiding them anyway.
INTEGRATED FRAME FENDER.
On the muddiest race days, the integrated rear fender keeps debris from impeding suspension movement. Weighing next to nothing. It’s a frame feature you’ll only notice how big of a difference it makes if it’s gone.
HANGERLESS INTERFACE.
Hangerless Interface creates the strongest and most precise shifting by allowing Eagle Transmission derailleurs to mount directly to the wheel axle and grip both sides of the frame. But Hangerless Interface is also perfect for legacy drivetrains, thanks to the included Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH).

IT’S BACK. BECAUSE XC IS X AGAIN.
The ASR is back. We’ve never made a lighter full-suspension bike, but that’s just half the story. It brings proper suspension to proper mountain bike racing. The kind that takes skill, not just lungs.
A LOT LIKE NOTHING ELSE.
The new ASR marks the most extensive carbon project we’ve ever tackled. Yielding the lightest full suspension bike in our history, contemporizing our flex stay design to check today’s kinematics standards, providing proper sag, killer small-bump sensitivity, insane traction and 100% usable travel.
ZERO REDUNDANT CARBON.
Custom ply shapes, critical material choice, intelligent draping methods, and smooth transitions between every carbon ply have eliminated redundant carbon, giving radical strength for super lightweight. Such a boundary pushing schedule driven from in-depth carbon analysis tools marks a Yeti first.
IT’S WHAT’S NOT INSIDE THAT COUNTS.
We wanted to kill carbon redundancy everywhere, not just where it was easy. Our 20+ years of carbon-only experience told us we could remove solid volume at pivots and still exceed the demands of XC, with no downside on performance or bearing life.
SIZE-SPECIFIC STIFFNESS.FINE-TUNED.
Another goal for the ASR was to engineer each frame for the same ride characteristics to give every rider the same feel, regardless of size. Since theASR uses single-ply carbon layups to eliminate redundant carbon, each sheet had to be precision cut. Tedious? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely. Doing so allowed for size-specific tuning at a much more sensitive level, and accurately matching torsional stiffness and chassis-flex profiles too.
A LEGACY OF FLEX
The year was 2003 – our flex stay design was a decade’s ahead approach to XC full suspension. Today, the incarnated ASR considers the relationships between leverage rate, link size, material properties of the carbon layup and modern short stroke shocks to deliver responsive, efficient, and astonishingly light XC-specific suspension.
DUAL DUTY CARBON
In contrast to conventional pivot-placement methodology for longer travel applications, the ASR’s pivot points are positioned so that existing tubing walls make up a significant portion of their shape and structure. To further reduce redundant carbon, and save weight.
LEVERAGE RATE.
The ASR features a near-linear progression curve to deliver the ultimate balance of efficiency in the mid stroke of the suspension – where XC racers spend most of their time. But with 20% sag, it offers small bump sensitivity typically found on longer travel bikes. Plus, the last ¼ of travel is designed to ramp up, so bigger hits and aggressive race lines don’t kick the bike off line.
CABLE MANAGEMENT.
Secure closures at frame entry and exit eliminate rattles and rub. External brake routing from bar to head tube for ease of travel, plus there’s no aero advantage to hiding them anyway.
INTEGRATED FRAME FENDER.
On the muddiest race days, the integrated rear fender keeps debris from impeding suspension movement. Weighing next to nothing. It’s a frame feature you’ll only notice how big of a difference it makes if it’s gone.
HANGERLESS INTERFACE.
Hangerless Interface creates the strongest and most precise shifting by allowing Eagle Transmission derailleurs to mount directly to the wheel axle and grip both sides of the frame. But Hangerless Interface is also perfect for legacy drivetrains, thanks to the included Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH).
