This customer came to Base Camp Cyclery with a clear mission: build the lightest custom mountain bike possible on the renowned Yeti SB160 platform. They wanted the bike’s full suspension and aggressive geometry but without the weight holding them back on long climbs and all-day rides. Our team jumped at the challenge, creating a sleek and lightweight masterpiece from the ground up.
Starting with the SB160 frame, we ditched any standard components and curated the ultimate high-performance setup. For suspension, we fitted Rock Shox to deliver plush travel without sacrificing weight savings. The standout feature? Cane Creek eeWings titanium cranks—a functional work of art known for their strength, durability, and feather-light design.
When it came to wheels, we pushed the limits by installing Berd HAWK 37 wheels. These wheels, featuring tensioned spokes made from ultra-light polymer, gave the bike a significant weight reduction while maintaining durability for rugged trails. With every component chosen meticulously, we managed to get this build under 32 lbs.
The final result was a fully custom mountain bike that performs on both technical descents and grueling climbs, exceeding the customer’s expectations.
