Mr SingleTrack Posted September 18, 2012 Share I know someone with a full sus 29er (large frame) that comes in at just over 8kg. That being said, I'll break his wheels going over a 5c coin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatsup! Posted September 18, 2012 Share Hi 14 kg is onn the heavy side (unless it is a downhill rig)I recommend:under 13kg for full sus 29erunder 12 kg for full susunder 11 kg for hardtail Anything under 10kg becomes very expensive I am sure there will be lots of opinions on this topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR ◣◢ Posted September 18, 2012 Share my 26" full sus without bottle or tools (etc) = 13.68kg I need an upgrade! Heavier bike = better fitness Same boat here. My 26er trail bike is around 13 to 14kg depending on which tyres are on. The SS is around 10kg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoman Posted September 18, 2012 Share Heavier bike = better fitness Same boat here. My 26er trail bike is around 13 to 14kg depending on which tyres are on. The SS is around 10kg.My old Donkey GT is around 15kgs with all the crap on it (mudguard, pump,spare tube, couple of lights and thicker inner tubes), solid bike though!My new Ghost is around 12.5kgs and I really plan on keeping it thay way! That 2kg difference is really noticeable after a long day of riding! Edited September 18, 2012 by Mojoman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakkals. Posted September 18, 2012 Share My mtb is about 9.4kg. Very costly. However I'm only on xt parts which lasts. Wheels not great either, but can't pay the penalty in a race for a broken carbon rim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_freak_ Posted September 18, 2012 Share My FELT 26" / 17.5" hardtail comes in @ 11.6kg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ84 Posted September 18, 2012 Share My 26" hardtail is 10.5kg's and has damn heavy tyres on it.Other than that i have Full XT, carbon everything and my fork is sub 1.5kg. If i want to go lighter i will need to chage tyres(obviouse)or start using lighter parts which will either be very expensive or not that durable.
