jawn Posted April 25, 2014 Share Who cares. The lightest FullSus is one you cant take down a trail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted April 25, 2014 Share Question. What is the driving factor behind getting the lightest dual suss in that price range? Do you want a light bike for bragging rights, or to make climbing easier? If your answer is the latter, then I would say that suspension design can play more of a role in an efficient climbing bike, than saving 500g on a frame.

TheV Posted April 25, 2014 Share If you are after best mix of weight/performance/budget within your stated budget, I would suggest you buy a stock standard ALU Scalpel 4 (2014) for the Frame and Lefty. It comes with SLX i/spec shifters, Deore Brakes, etc. all good enough to ride while you upgrade, or strip and sell off. Cost you around 30k. then you spend your remaining budget on a new X01 groupset and carbon hoops and finishing kit such as carbon bars, post, saddle, etc... cost you less than 65k after recovering the bits and bobs from sold off components.

Roneblack46 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Trigon full suspension mtb XO 2x10 weighs in at 10.8kg - cost about R45000.00. For me that is the best value out there at the moment. I think the XX1 goes for R53000 and weighs about 10kg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennyg Posted April 25, 2014 Share My turner Czar is large and in at 9.8kg XC/Xterra build, @ R60k, Carbon wheels take it To R70k.  Marathon build 10.5 Kg @ R63k. Both run Lefties, both XX1, just bottle holders, wheels + tyres differ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone_Ranger Posted April 25, 2014 Share You can get a 650B below 9.5kg for that price. The Scott Spark comes to mind, don't think the other top end bikes (Spez, Dale, Vipa) come in 650B. Yet!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
