No way on that weight
As other have said there is no way the Inferno is 7.5 lbs. My Med FXR with Curnutt and Ti spring is just under 8. When I got the bike I weighed it on 2 different postal scales (with steel spring) at 8 lb 2 oz. Right now it prob sits at 31 lbs. That being said these are great bikes and if you want even more travel the Inferno would be very nice. I know that Fat Tire Cycles in Albuquerque NM has 2 ano grey Inferno frames, if you call them they'll let you know the weight.
It really pisses me off that Foes intentionally lies about the weight of their bikes. I know that everyone does it but it's still BS.
Heres some info from their website posted in 2003:
Calling all weight weenies!
03/21/2003 - For all you fun-lovin' gram counters, we've found a discrepancy in our listed catalog weights regarding the FXR. Listed at 6.7 lbs. with shock, that is the correct weight - without shock. We apologize to anyone who noticed this weight discrepancy rather than the exceptional ride of the frame, masterful craftsmanship, and flawless welds; we hope you can handle that extra weight added by the shock without losing sleep. Now go ride and quit e-mailing us!
So if you're upset that your frame weighs over a pound more than they claim just shut up and accept it. Of course the website still lists the incorrect weight.
Ok, got that off my chest
