The plus is awesome in the chunk isn't it? The bike is so dialed. You should try putting your 36 at 160 and running the flush cup

How do i change it to 160? Is it just an adjustment or a new cartridge?

Slip the lowers off pull out the spacer plate lube everything up. Butter..the bb is low but once you get use to it it's no big deal at all. Bike slays with this set up. I'm also running the x2 in the back

So are you sure the factory fork converts to 160mm by only removing the spacer?!

Haven't gotten chance to weigh one yet.

Great!
Do you know The weight of the XX1 build?

Can someone give me an idea of the SB weight on the XTR 1x configuration? With Reynolds carbon hoops and all?
And If someone has the weight of the bike on the new xx1 eagle configuration would be awesome.
I built mine last week (xt/xtr 2x) and with pedals (atlas flats) and it weighed 13.6kg.
Thanks in advance

My XL XT/XTR/Reynolds with old ATAC pedals, 27.5+ is an even 30lbs. (13.63kg)

My xt/Xtr pro 1x medium frame build with 29er alloy wheels with 4oz stans, pedals, fox float x2 upgrade and carbon silverado saddle was also exactly 30lb on the dot.

I forgot to mention I also upgraded to the x2 vs the factory dps evol it ships with standard. It sure doesn't pedal or feel like a 30lb bike I can tell you that much.

Why are bikes getting over weight every year?

Don't know if you're a troll or not (some people in other threads sure think you are!), but since when is a stiff 135/150 travel bike with a Fox 36 fork, a dropper post, and big, meaty tires at 30 pounds on 29" wheels considered heavy? Show me something from previous years that could do what this bike can do at under this weight.

I picked up a Santa Cruz 5010 27.5 under 27lb. Why are you upset? What is wrong with you.?

I 100% agree. This bike doesn't feel heavy it does however feel extremely solid, nimble and fast. Tge best possible scenario if they had shaved carbon and nerfed the fork would have been 27 lbs. this is a big boy bike for big boy trails. I bought this full well knowing that it was 30 pounds, I have my 25 pound Ripley gathering dust.

The difference in weight between your 5010 and the Switchblade frames is maybe 1lb or less than a 1/2 kilo.

The biggest difference will be in tires.
Do you run a 36 fork on your 5010? Didn't think so...
30lbs in this category with some proper fork, shock and tires will make the difference.

Santa Cruz Hightower.......

Santa Cruz Hightower.......

not...with the same build kit the weight would be negligible

Ever since the Switchblade was released, my bike shop hasn't sold a single Hightower since. The hightower was good up until the SB was released.

I kind of get what he is saying about the weight. My Mach 6 is just a hair under 27 pounds and can handle just about anything. I would have to demo one first, but it isn't very motivating going backwards 3+ pounds.

I also went backwards from my previous bike to this switchblade. The added weight is hardly noticeable and the stiffness of the frame and wheels is very noticeable. I do not regret my purchase at all. It certainly doesn't ride like a 30lb pig. Once you see this bike in person you'll see why it's 30lb. I don't think one person who owns this bike has complained about the weight factor.
