MrJacques Posted August 11, 2011 Share Which frame? The manufacturer should list the weight limit. And a light guy could just as easily crack a frame with a bad crash or landing as a heavy guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanmor Posted August 20, 2011 Share on carbon MTB frames? Im just over 90 kg. Any other dik oaks riding carbon frames which have not cracked as yet? I'm 105kg and I ride an Ibis Mojo (std, not SLR). I ride it hard and although I'm careful on my landings, I'm very confident to cross up over jumps. It also depends on what type of riding you're going to do. But with today's technology and understanding of carbon fibre, I don't think you have too much to be concerned about. I used to fly RC helis, and I'd imagine the stresses that I put on the frames and blades (both were cf) far exceeded what I can do relatively to an mtb frame. I was also sceptical of cf frames, but having seen what the material is capable of in other fields, I'm not concerned. Just investigate the manufacturer's warranty before buying.
