Eti ARC T-Series Carbon Mountain Bike Frame 2022 – Turquoise. 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 single track, pump track and your bike-pack route too. It’s got history to live up to and new history to make. And it’s already impatient. 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. 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. DOWN COUNTRY, DONE DIFFERENT. Qualifying personal achievements with the phrase “for a hardtail” simply isn’t necessary. The ARC absolutely rips when held wide open. 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. FEEL Spry, stiff, light, fast, fun as hell. DUAL SIDED DOWNTUBE MOUNTS. Carrying that thing you wish you brought on your last trip. You decide what the ARC does best. 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. 76-degree seat tube angle. SRAM Universal Derailleur Hanger. Raised chainstay guard to prevent excess chain slap noise. Integrated ISCG 05 tabs. Short fork offset design. Two mounts for water bottles (1 in frame). Tyre clearance for 2.6.
