BoerBiker Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Okay so I certainly am not a weight weenie, I believe the right amount of weight has its place on the trail....but I have to say when I went to collect my new bike yesterday I was shocked at how light it was when I picked it up. I just had to check how much it weighed, because it felt so much lighter than the Epic I demoed, which I thought was one of the lightest Aluminum full suspension bikes I've ever seen. Here's the bike and the result....it's a Giant Anthem X 29er, medium aluminum frame, no pedals, tubeless with ZTR arch rims on the scale. Well done Giant!
paul_ct Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Very nice! [emoji106] I've always wondered why manufacturers quote weights without the pedals. My bike's weight, according to their brochure, is 13.0 kg without pedals. Not a weight weenie.
BoerBiker Posted October 3, 2014 Author Posted October 3, 2014 Might be wrong, but it might be because pedals are a personal choice and the bike is sold without pedals the
floatfox Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 The Giant anthem alu is very light for a full suspension bike...great bike, enjoy it.
VeloRacer Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 That's impressive mate. I managed to get my Scott Spark Pro to 10kgs. Gruppo XO1.
BoerBiker Posted October 3, 2014 Author Posted October 3, 2014 Yeesh.... 10kg,thats about the same weight as a pack of gum :-)
