This bike is special. Very special. When was the last time you saw a new set of Chris King purple anything? And lacing those ISO Disc hubs up to 40 mm carbon hoops… And XTR Di2 routed internally… And Saint brakes… It’s getting hot in here.
This is hands down the coolest Yeti SB6c build yet. Not just for the parts selection, but for all the beautiful purple Chris King goodies that look great on a black and turquoise bike. What a killer build! Good thing there is plenty of helicopter tape protecting the frame and various parts.
If you’re curious about how this bike feels, call the shop or swing by for a beer and ask for Bill. Go straight to the source! Bill owns several mountain bikes including a Pivot Mach 6 so he can best explain the differences between the two. Not just headtube angles and chainstay lengths either… He could explain in simple words how everything combined makes the bike feel and perform.

What width of helicopter tape was used? 2″ or 3″ or something else?
Where’d he put it? Down tube and rear triangle?
I’m getting mine (6c) very soon and have been trying to plan. Any info would help. Thanks!
A combination of widths and bill basically covered the whole bike. Get the wise stuff and cut it to fit. A heatgun to soften the tape to make it more conforming to intricate curves and a clean frame are essential!
Where’s the battery?
In the steerer tube!
One question: how do you recharge the battery? Is disassembly of stem / handlebar needed?
