The TURQ carbon frame is built to be light, stiff and responsive, with the downtube, seat tube and chainstays shaped to deliver a direct, efficient feel when you put the power down. It’s a bike that rewards effort on climbs and responds instantly to rider input.Geometry is progressive without being extreme. Designed around a 130mm fork, the ARC strikes a balance between cross-country efficiency and trail confidence. There’s room to move on the bike, making it easier to handle technical sections and flow through corners without feeling stretched out.Up front, the Fox Factory 36 SL with 130mm of travel offers precise steering and controlled suspension performance. It’s stiff enough for aggressive trail riding while remaining supportive for longer rides and mixed terrain.Shifting duties are handled by SRAM Eagle 90 Transmission in a 1×12 setup, paired with a 10–52T cassette and 32T chainring. The wide gear range supports steep climbs and fast sections alike, while Transmission technology is designed for consistent, robust shifting under load.SRAM Motive Bronze hydraulic disc brakes provide dependable stopping power and modulation, helping you stay in control on descents and technical features.Rolling on DT Swiss M1900 wheels, the ARC is fitted with a Maxxis Minion DHF 2.6 EXO tyre up front for confident grip in loose or rough conditions, and a Maxxis Rekon 2.6 EXO at the rear for a balance of traction and rolling speed. The high-volume 2.6in tyres add comfort and stability without muting trail feedback.Practical details include dual-sided downtube mounts for carrying extra bottles or gear, integrated ISCG 05 tabs for a chain guide, and internally routed cables with secure entry and exit points to reduce rattle. A OneUp dropper post – with up to 240mm travel on XL – encourages an active riding style and makes the most of the bike’s geometry.Whether it’s singletrack laps, pump track sessions or longer backcountry loops, the ARC C2 90 Factory blends speed, simplicity and trail capability in a hardtail that’s eager to get out and ride.
