2025 Yeti ARC T2 X01

The 2025 Yeti ARC T2 X01 brings together the best of classic hardtail mountain bike design with technology that makes riding more precise and responsive. If you want a bike that reacts quickly, handles technical trails with confidence, and feels light yet sturdy, this one deserves a close look.

Frame and Design

It's built around a top-of-the-line TURQ Series carbon frame. This frame isn't just light; what's built to transfer your power directly to the pedals without wasted energy. TURQ Series frames are Yeti's best frame option. They're made with the highest-quality carbon fiber, and designed for the perfect balance of stiffness and compliance. They're built to handle aggressive riding while remaining solid and smooth, and are tested by some of the best racers in the world to ensure they're up to spec. Climbing feels efficient and descents stay controlled because of a geometry that balances agility and stability. You get a playful feel when you want it and solid confidence when the trail gets rough.

Drivetrain

Shifting gears smoothly up steep slopes or down fast stretches matters. The SRAM X01 Eagle 12-speed drivetrain handles that with ease. Each shift clicks crisply, giving you reliable cadence no matter what the trail throws your way. When paired with the SRAM X1 Eagle 32-tooth crankset and 170mm crank arms, pedaling stays powerful and consistent.

Brakes

You'll also find a set of SRAM G2 RSC brakes. These offer strong, adjustable braking that you can fine-tune to match your style and trail conditions. Four-piston calipers bring plenty of bite on tough descents, so you feel in control.

Suspension and Dropper

Out front, the Fox Factory 34 Fit4 fork provides 130mm of travel that smooths out rocks and roots without sacrificing stiffness. You can adjust the suspension to fit the terrain or how hard you want to push. When the trail gets steep or technical, the Fox Performance Elite Transfer dropper post allows you to drop your saddle height quickly. It's easy to use and reliable, making transitions from climbing to descending effortless.

Wheels and Tires

The wheels have DT Swiss XM1700 rims with a 30mm internal width, perfect for wide tires that grip and roll fast. The tires are Maxxis Minion DHF 2.6 EXO up front for fierce traction in loose or technical spots, and Maxxis Rekon 2.6 EXO in the back for fast rolling and solid grip on all kinds of surfaces.

Other Components

Details like the Cane Creek 40 integrated headset ensure your steering feels precise and smooth, while the Yeti Carbon handlebar gives you stiffness and comfort with its 760mm width and carbon build. The SRAM Dub BB92 bottom bracket works quietly beneath, keeping your pedaling smooth and efficient.

Summary

In essence, the Yeti ARC T2 X01 fits riders who want a hardtail that can keep up whether you're racing, pushing your limits, or just exploring dirt paths that demand a quick, confident bike.
