I’m enjoying it quite a bit, great climber and super fun on flow trails. I think I would prefer a 120 mil fork for on it though because on really steep technical climbs, it feels a little light in the front end. That’s just my personal preference though. I’m sure most would probably keep a 130 for the downs. I like it better than my SB130 though given the trails I usually ride are more flow and climbing.
I couldn’t give up a full squish for it though -I still have one, a SB115.
@chase2wheels: Sorta what I wanted to hear? lol. I just sold my Ripley frame and am interested in the Spur, but the price & availability (and simplicity) of the ARC is a draw to me. Plus, Yeti is one brand I’ve never owned.
@ninjatarian: the Spur looks like a great frame. I really like hard tails for all the reasons you mentioned. The ARC has great lines visually too - great looking bike. I’ve owned five Yetis over the years, all were high quality. You couldn’t go wrong owning one.
