Colorful. Radical. Totally outside of the norm. This Yeti ARC ASLT perfectly matched Missy Giove's personality. In 1993, the young mountain biking phenom raced on this rare, purpose-built Yeti, and she earned some big results along the way.
In this week's Vintage Bike Quiz, we'll test your knowledge of this ground-breaking full-suspension race bike. Answer these five questions to learn more about the early '90s technology that carried Missy to glory.

The question about the headset! What was different about it [to every other headset on the market]? “It was 1 ¼”.”
Are you tripping? How does that make it different? Chris King were making 1 ¼” “Fisher Evolution Sized” headsets long before this and 1 ¼ was quite common in 1993. Stupid question! I presume this “quiz” was written by someone younger than this bike? Pft.
