Iwan Kemp Posted July 24, 2013 Share The new Scott Addict frame and fork is under 1kg That's light! Frame weights have been hitting sub 800g the last year or two without any issues. And what's even more impressive is most of those do not have a weight limit.

GoLefty!! Posted July 24, 2013 Share Hi all, Please help me out here. In terms of a carbon frame weight, what would be considered as being light? I am interested in a carbon frame but the weight is 2kg for a small frame, which seems heavy to me. Ok ok ok,............but what are your time in the Argust? Edited July 24, 2013 by GoLefty!!

Eugene Posted July 24, 2013 Share It depends on which RC 7000 it is. There were three variants. The 2007 were tanks. 2008 were lightish. The 2009 and 2010 were sub 1kg Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/128782-frame-weights/page/2/#findComment-2002567 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jono Waddell Posted July 24, 2013 Share Thanks. To be honest, I'm not overly concerned about the weight. I'm about 60kgs so it bothers me far less than some other guys. I just don't want to waste money on a frame that heavy by comparison.

And what's even more impressive is most of those do not have a weight limit. I see it has a 100kg weight limit.Includes the bike and kit weight Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/128782-frame-weights/page/2/#findComment-2002904 Share on other sites More sharing options...
