Yeti Big Top 29'R

The ARC Big Top 29'r has finally arrived, just in time for the best riding of the year.
This big wheeled beast has already earned high praise from journos worldwide for it's versatility on the trail and smashing good looks. You need to throw a leg over one and see what the fuss is all about.
We think you'll appreciate the thought that went into the design. It has a relatively slack head angle (70 degrees) and shorter chain stays so the ride is snappy and very stable at speed. The entire rear triangle is made of hand laid-up high-modulus carbon fibre, so while laterally stiff, it is forgiving when the going gets rough. The tapered head tube adds front-end stiffness and allows the bike to track very well.
And, it is very versatile. We have incorporated our Yeti Chip System so you can run standard QR wheels or a 142mm x 12mm thru axle QR for added stiffness. It has ISCG mounts and single speed dropouts are available for those of you who want to prefer the simplicity of running a single-speed.
