Lightest Dual Sus Bike

[Marius]

Add some REAL tyres at 1.2kg, a real Saddle at 200g and a decent Crankset - 780g - then that Scott will be sitting at lets see : 580g+ 95g + 340g = New bike weight Total: 8.910kg, still freaken light.

[AndreZA]

it proberbly costs over 120k.

Guys, the Scott is still impressive.

My view - just loose a kilo or two and youre there. Why spend all that money to get a kilo or some down, when you can drop a kilo from your body weight?  - and I'm not talking about the pros who are already super fit and at their optimum power to weight ratio - just a thought...

Cheaper to go for liposuction and suck 10kg out.  Then ride a 12kg bike which won't fall apart!

My pimped Anthem 1 is 11.9kg

 

U cant build a Cheap sub 12kg dual these days mine was R32k

[TCRCARBON]

My Anthem Advanced is around 10.7kg - slimed and ready to race.

No-one can tell me a dual under 9kg is Epic ready. If you are a 50kg rider maybe, but for the average oke - no ways.

 

[AuctionLamb]

remember....the bike must be race ready....he is doing the Epic on it.

Weight weenie' date=' who the *** is going to race the Epic with a full carbon saddle and that *** Maxiss Fly weight tyres and only two f'ing blades upfront?!?!?! tell me that, pleezz, we can all dig up stupid light bikes thats not race ready.[/quote']

 

I have seen some of the pro riders going at it with 2 blades upfront...( ABSA Cape Epic ) Yirre who de blerrie hell doen hulle dit ...

6.1kg

 

 

 

AND IT'S NOT PLASTIC!

 

 

 

From the same site, a 3.2kg road bike... for those that really take things to extremes.

Hehe rustig Marius!

 

Ya I must concede there is no way one can ride a bike like that scott, most parts will need to be replaced, even for xc riding, nevermind the epic. Just thought id share a light crazy dually but some okes seem to be a bit scratchy this morning eish

 

I only saw later that it was an epic ready light dually post, so that changes things dramatically.  Pro's do ride 2 rings upfront and dura ace derailers though...
