nigelhicks Posted July 26, 2013 Share GT Fury Carbon DH Price - (about R60 000)Weight - 16.8kg = R3571/kg ------------------- GT Force Carbon Expert Price - R27 000Weight - 12.5kg R2160/kg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shebeen Posted July 26, 2013 Share Where is the point of diminishing returns?nope, my MTB doesnt fall on (or below) that lineinfact, I know of quite a few poeple that will 'upset' that line this was just a thumbsuck, i didn't start entering people's data into the graph. but a scatter plot should really follow this norm.of course there would be outliers. There would also be huge discrepancies on mtb, because carbon, ss, ds and hardtail would all have different characteristics and shouldn't be lumped in the same grouping. here's an extended one.

nigelhicks Posted July 26, 2013 Share i thought it would have been a bit lighter lighter??? No thats about as light as most of the DH bikes get these days ... at the moment the Trek Session is one of the lightest around at 15.8kg ...I think the santa cruz V10 is around there too if i added in a ti spring and better rear shock i would dump 500g ... oh and lighter bar stem and seatpost - will drop the other 500g ... but its not worth the added cost Edited July 26, 2013 by nigelhicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SL7 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Finding it difficult to extract useful information from this thread. Cost per kilo is misleading in some respects Also don't know if items were bought used or new Graphs will be skewed IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
