Vetseun Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Built this girl up a few years ago. Was very surprised when she weighed in at 9.8kg.
Wil6 Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Not light by todays standards but a comfy 6.4kg and race ready .Cant stop looking at this beauty
jcza Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 You bringing that beast out on Sat for Trailseeker? Oh yes.....riding half with missus. Starting in H. Keep some beers for me please.
Edge_Design Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 All pics should include the bike on the scale! Especially claims of sub 9kg MTB's and sub 6kg road bikes... Busy assembling my new road and MTB - hoping for sub 6.5kg and 10.5kg (dual sus).
Ispeed_V Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Ok, ok, I'll post a heavy beast... At 17.6kg this heffer weighs as much as 2 of most of the bikes here   Believe it or not, that's on the lighter side for a DH bike. Especially when one considers that this has no carbon on it, and has a custom extra long frame. A DH bike weing in around 15 (Like GM's) can set one back over 100k... easily! almost 2 bags of compost

patches Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 almost 2 bags of compost Exactly! Now and again when I starting thinking my bike is "too light", I give it a quick coat of mud/compost/spruit poop to bring it back into acceptable ranges Â
MTBc Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Not 100% sure of the weight, used a dodgy scale after the last upgrade, and was either 10.5 or 10.8 kg IIRC, would have to confirm weight later. Giant XTC Composite (M) 29erRS Reba SoloXT 10x3 with SLX brakes.AC wheels.  One day, when I'm a big strong rider, I'll drop to a 1x10.
