They balance quite Well by themselves ,especially upside down. It's the magical fish scale.

So one should prefer to believe a spreadsheet, rather than a scale that measures the actual bike?

 

I used to have a Giant Alu 29er and when I did take off the heavy wheels and fork during maintenance, I was amazed by the weight of the frame.

Interesting comment - I recently did a test between my hardtail (carbon) and my new dual sus (Trek) which is about 1.5kg heavier than the hardtail. I tested bikes back to back on the same trails and the heavier dually was unexpectedly faster on the uphills as well as technical, flat and downs. Given that I weigh around 57kg, 1.5kg difference is substantial (will post full details of my testing soon)

 

I weigh 65kg there is no doubt that my Sworks is faster on the technical climbs and downhills than my Scott 910 HT.

But on those 80k days I would like to think that not carting an extra 1.2 kg  up the mountains will save lots of energy.

On XCO the Sworks although heavier is much quicker over the same course,the traction is also better up loose sharp climbs.

My Specialized Epic Marathon with XX1 comes in at 11.2KG's with pedals, bottle cages, swat box with a tube and a bomb and the multitool on the frame.

 

Without all the extras it is 10.2KG's

At less than half the price the Sesta is lighter than the BMC fs01 even with upgraded wheels on the BMC.

All depends how far you want to go
