Hairy Posted April 30, 2012 Share So how heavy is your Shova? Mine is 13.6kg's with a no frills build and lots of room to lighten up. Now I am not looking for silly builds, but trail bikes that come in at a nice weight ..... what have you got and how does your build look?

patches Posted April 30, 2012 Share 13.6... man tht's impressive! My AM bike is supposed to be 13.5kg stock standard build. But mine being a large, the addition of a chainguide, heavier chainrings (stock is XTR), a dropper post, wider bars, and chunky stem... it's sitting at 15kg now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted April 30, 2012 Share Funny that I was thinking my Shova is a heavy pig of a build .... There was a guy I met the other day who said his came in at 11.something ... but his was a very very very XC build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droo Posted May 2, 2012 Share My medium's about 14 (2007 frame). Pedals, seat and wheels (and maybe brakes) could lose a bit, but the rest's about as light as I want it. IMO you'd need to keep it somewhere around the 13kg mark if you want it to be a decent trail bike, otherwise you'd just end up breaking stuff (if not components or teeth, then the bank...)

Hairy Posted May 2, 2012 Share 18.7kg without a water bottle . Does this include for your lazer sabre mounting braket Dirt Rider .... 18.7KG's ...flip ... what spec have you got on her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droo Posted May 2, 2012 Share Does this include for your lazer sabre mounting braket Dirt Rider .... 18.7KG's ...flip ... what spec have you got on her! Seem to recall he's got a DHX 4.0 and a 160mm 36 fork on it. That should bump it up a bit. Light sabres actually weigh less than air, so to keep it on during the weigh would be cheating. Edit: By Shova I'm assuming you mean the ST. LT at 18kg would be pretty standard issue. Edited May 2, 2012 by droo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
