![]() ![]() With some fast rolling tires, I think this Yeti ARC could really do it all. Specifically this 2020 Yeti ARC TURQ 35th Anniversary Edition. ![]() That’s why my one bike has to be a hardtail mountain bike. Though my busy schedule doesn't allow me to hit the trails as much as I'd like, my weekend mountain bike rides are often the highlight of my month. And I’ll still be able to ride singletrack and have fun.īut after some soul searching, I’ve concluded that fast and flowy mountain bike trails are what truly spark joy for me.
