I think you'll find that most L Rip 9's will weigh somewhere around 30lbs. You could build it lighter but it will cost you $$$.

Play around on wrenchscience.com and you can see how the cost v. weight issues plays out.
This is a full Shimano XT build I am looking into. Subtract the tube's weight abd it looks to be just under 27lb with no crazy parts. Does this seem accurate?

I believe the Rip 9 frames weigh more like 7-7.5lbs.

I think a lot of these "calculator" things come up about a pound or even two "light" vs. reality.
A few examples where the weight creeps in:
- Longer-than-standard cable/housing/brak
- Hydraulic Fluid
- Other lubricants
- Steerer/Stem Spacers
- Brake Lines (not sure if those are included in the caliper weight)

Mine is bang on 29lb
Mine is a strong build, with gravity dropper,Maxle axle & big brakes so not a super light build but has good gear on it.
http://forums.mtbr.com/showthread.php?p=5989331#poststop
All the large frames that I have seen in the mid to low 27 lb have had 1-9 gear setups & I9 wheels on arch rims to give you some idea of were they stand on weight.

Medium, for what it's worth...
I couldn't comment on a large because I ride a medium frame. But fully dressed she tipped the scale at just over 26.5xx pounds. I9's, XO, XTR crank, R1's are some of the key components that helped it get there. I could imagine a large would be just above that if you were looking at my exact set up. It's 2x9 with a bash so if it were to be lighter a 1x9 would probably be my only option to shed some grams. My knees don't agree with that idea so I'll keep her as she stands! Bike rocks plain and simple. My buddies '09 weighed in at around 30-31 pounds and to be honest it felt pounds lighter on the trail.
Needless to say I'm very, very pleased with it.

You forgot rotors and adaptors...XT disc are not That light. Also all those weights seem to be manufacturer claimed weights rather than actual. Dump the tubes, go yellow tape with Olympic valve stem tubeless and that will net you a few grams. I'm guessing that the build you listed will get you in the 30# range.

XL Weight for comparison
XL Black w/Fox tapered fork, 15mm QR
XT Crank, shifters, front der, XTR rear der
XT Pedals
Elixir CR Brakes, 180mm f/r
Flows tubeless, XTR Rear/Hope Front hub
Rampage F
Nano R
Thomson 410 post, cheap-o Bontrager 100mm stem (to be replaced by Thomson soon)
Easton EA70 Bar, 660mm
30.07 Pounds
Will get slightly under 30 when I cut the stear tube/remove 40mm of spacers.

My L is 30 lbs, after 2 years I've replaced stuff that broke, but it's basically X0/XT stuff, Thomson, Monkeylite, Crossmax, Elixir CR F and J Ultimate R brakes etc. For tires I am running a Captain Control 2.0 rear and Ignitor front.
I could drop a lb I think if I changed the fork to the new REBA 120 w/maxle as the White Bros F135 I have been running is on the heavy side. However, it's such a great match and solid fork I'll probably keep it until the frame dies.
Getting down to the 27lb range should be possible. Components are lighter than when I built mine up a couple years ago. If I were to do it all over again with a mind towards shaving weight:
- REBA 120 w/maxle lite
- 2X9 setup w/med cage der. (I just break teeth off the large ring anyways)
- I'd lace up my own wheels and run tubeless

You must be talking about this one...muzzanic said:
Note the weight is with a 12mm MAXLE installed, Ergon grips, etc. With some component changes I could easily drop another pound, but don't feel the need to as the bike is solid and FAST as is.
