Vetseun Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Since the Agent now rides a dual, one of his buddies rode it last night, now he also wants one.My question to all you clever hubbers out there is: what is the acceptable weight for a stock standard mid price range dual suspension mtb. No pimping to save weight, straight off the shop floor.Shot
perp Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) 12kg? but would you find that acceptable? Edited February 4, 2011 by perp
Vetseun Posted February 4, 2011 Author Posted February 4, 2011 Ja, I think 12kg is more that realistic. His decision will be based on various factors, because he only knows hard tails be doesnt want to be bullsh!tted by a bike shop.12kg? but would you find that acceptable?
Thomo Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 12kg? but would you find that acceptable? Isn't 12kg reasonably light for a dual.?And what's the likelihood of getting that in a mid range/price bike.?
perp Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 would it also depend on what type of discipline you are riding as a XC bike should weight less than a trail bike?
Vetseun Posted February 4, 2011 Author Posted February 4, 2011 Max R20kdepends on what you're willing to pay...
Thumper Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Isn't 12 a bit on the heavy side.I have a 5inch trail bike that weights in at 12Kg. Recon 11Kg is more acceptable.
Wyatt Earp Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Max R20kTell him to have a look at the Specialized Camber Comp, real nice bike.
Andre 77 Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 I ride a Trek feul ex9 and it comes in at 12.2kg but I have changed the wheels.
perp Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Isn't 12kg reasonably light for a dual.?And what's the likelihood of getting that in a mid range/price bike.? My brother in laws shova (L) came in at just under 13kg and had reasonable build kit.Wifes Blur (M) weights in at 12.5kg with XT stuff
perp Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Isn't 12 a bit on the heavy side.I have a 5inch trail bike that weights in at 12Kg. Recon 11Kg is more acceptable. 11kg might be pushing it a bit?My Blur(L)is coming in at just under 11kg and parts list is pretty light.Flea hubs on ZTR OlmypicsXO RD and shifter with matchmakersXTR FDXT crankUltimate BrakesMonkey lite barsThomson post with Gobi saddleCassette and chain is sram 990

Wyatt Earp Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 I would love to see all the sub 12 kg. bikes on my personal scale with sealant, proper tubeless tyres, pedals and bar-ends on a mid level bike. NotSoBigBen 1
