pyga tig xc version weighed in at 13.8kg.

Thats with slime, bottle cages, garmin mount etc still on the bike.

Only place I can see saving some weight would be the rear shock and removing the dropper post.

There is almost always saving on wheels and tires...... carbon chord 1 piece spoke laced to hookless carbon rims with Maxxis Aspens..... That's like 2kg right there

Pirelli scorpion XC RC Lite are lighter than aspens and have better traction.

to obsess about the weight anywhere else is disingenuous.

Was thinking of this thread yesterday when at Trailerseeker #5 Van Gaalen. 
 

1, 2, 3 and 10th place finishers all on Pygas and having done the Half Marathon and nearly dying a million times I can’t imagine those okes climbed slowly or with difficulty on their Pygas during the Marathon 😂

Were they on Mobu's or Tigs ?

So this is my Tig, built as a kind of mini Enduro bike, piggy back shock, could maybe have gone for a 150mm Lyrik to make it even more burly, but the 140mm Pike is great for my needs, full SLX drivetrain, 4piston caliper in front, 2 piston on the back, carbon wheel with heavyish tyres and an insert in the rear, comes in at 15.05kg, and there is a fair bit of weight to be saved just on the tyres, it is MUCH faster on the climbs and flats than my Hyrax/Slakline was, and has even gottem me a number of PB's on the downs at my local trails, absolutely love this bike.

 

SID Fork, SID Shock and XC tyres, I am pretty sure could save me close to 2kg, maybe even more, for the XC guise
