pyga tig xc version weighed in at 13.8kg. Thats with slime, bottle cages, garmin mount etc still on the bike. Only place I can see saving some weight would be the rear shock and removing the dropper post.

If it helps this frame has replaced a carbon Trek top fuel 9.8 2021. Which was light for a 120mm bike. I`ve transferred almost all the components directly across, except for the rear shock (now using Ohlins ttx2 air) and dropper post (needed different diameter). I can notice some increase in weight when lifting up the bike. But when I`m on the bike I can`t tell any difference at all. The handling on the trek was a bit more xc, shorter bike and steeper head angle. The TIG is however more comfortable on long days despite feeling more stretched out, but more stable on the descents, the TIG being 1.5 degrees slacker this makes sense.

I`ll weigh it tomorrow and let you know.

I landed up with a tig frame through some fortunate/unfortunate circumstances culminating in needing a marathon frame in a hurry. Its been built up as an xc/marathon bike. SID fork (120mm), xt drive train, sram g2 brakes on a light carbon bontrager wheelset. I was concerned it was going to behave too much like a trail bike. I couldn`t find any tig reviews in the xc/marathon guise, all of the reviews were the trail version. This bike is efficient on the flats and climbs but descents are very stable due to the slightly longer chassis. The frame is long for its sizing. This is not a weight wienies bike. Its not heavy, but it sure isn't a super light, it never will be but it is still a great bike. There is evidence of tigs doing the cape epic. I can`t comment on the trail performance of the tig yet, but I have no doubt it`ll be great with a quick 140mm fork swop and removing a token from the rear shock.
