2021 is the year in which Yeti Cycles marks its 35th anniversary. To celebrate, the brand has launched a special edition ARC with some super trick colour matched kit. There are only 100 of these bikes hitting the market, so you have to get in there quick if you fancy owning a potential piece of history.

• Best mountain bikes for under £3,000 - capable trail bikes that won't break the bank
• The best titanium mountain bikes you can buy
• The best (and worst) mountain bike upgrades under £100

The new ARC 35th Anniversary Edition comes in that classic Yeti colourway, dripping with high end, anodized parts including a specially painted Fox Factory 34 with 130mm of travel.

Matching the high-end kit bolted to the bike the ARC 35th comes with Yeti's Turq frame, the lighted and stiffest carbon frame the brand offers.

The bike gets shifting from SRAM with the wireless AXS derailleur which also gets special turquoise accents. The colour matching has gone so far that even the axles get the turq treatment.

Braking is also provided by SRAM in the form of a pair of Level Ultimates with custom finished blue callipers. 

At the cockpit, you'll find a blue Fox dropper remote with the bars getting special 1985 decals for the occasion. There's also that yellow crown of the Fox 34.

The custom doesn't stop there. The new bike rolls on custom carbon composite rims paired with blue Chris King hubs. There's also a custom blue Chris King headset.

That's enough drooling over fancy parts, the bikes geo numbers add up as nicely as its kit list.

On a large frame, it gets a 465mm reach, 67° head angle and 433mm chainstays while rolling on 29" hoops.

If one of 100 of these bikes tickles your fancy, it'll set you back £9,000.

The bike comes in four sizes, from SM up to XL and only the one, custom, colourway.
