Jared Graves won the final round of the 2015 Australian National DH series aboard this Yeti SB6c which he dubs the Internet Killer. It's a bone stock, SB6c frame, not a DH-specific prototype. He has a FOX 40 RC2 fork that gets 8-inches of travel up front and a FOX DHX RC4 shock on the rear. While he doesn't feel this setup is capable of most World Cup downhill courses, it can handle the local Australian courses just fine and would be something he'd race "part for part" if there were to be another World Cup DH like Pietermaritzburg.

Bike Highlights
- Yeti SB6c carbon frame
- FOX DHX RC4 coil shock with Ti spring
- FOX 40 RC2 dual crown fork which gets 8-inches of travel
- 27.5-inch DT Swiss wheel set featuring EX471 rims
- Shimano Saint Drivetrain and brakes, but he uses XTR levers
- ethirteen LG-1+ chainguide
- Prototype Shimano pedals that are "a few years old," given to select BMX racers.
- Renthal bar and stem combo
- Yeti-labeled WTB saddle and Thomson seat post
