My KHS 2019 e6555+ weighs 49lbs. Super nice ride, 150/140 travel.
couldn't be happier. Price $5K. I'm 1000 miles in and it's holding up great.
I'm racing it in the upcoming CES race at the Mt Shasta Ski Park, July 13th.
Bring your class 1 bikes out and have some fun on the mountain!

a lot per #!
Anybody got a Decoy I could borrow for a few hours that afternoon?
Nice final weight Gutch! How does she ride?
My Tazer started out around 47lbs, but after a few flat tires I upgraded the tires to: Assegai Front 29x2.5 EXO+ and Assegai 27.5X2.5 DD with inserts. I didn't weigh it, but it gained a few pounds. My calibrated arms would say about 50lbs now. Still feels fast up and down, but harder to move around when off the bike.

Nice build JP! I almost went with the XTR derailuer, but just a bit out of my budget! You must have some steep hills with that 45t rear cog. Did you go with the Shimano bar and stem for cleaner install?
I got the XTR derailier only because I was gathering parts before I bought the Tazer, I had the money, The 45 tooth comes in handy on steep tight switchbacks. Low speed and step = slow. Makes it easier to get back up to speed. Yes I love a clean bar and stem. I ride moto brake so the bar & cable arrangement ends up very sano.
It took about 10 hours to set up the Tazer, including unpacking.
It is very unnerving dropping the motor before even riding.

I like it. I was set up with a 160mm front instead of stock 150 and I believe I'm going back to 150. The front got a little light on some climbs and felt vague in corners. I do not care for the Butcher on the front, and am replacing with a DHF. Also gonna go with a 35mm stem to help with manuals and bunnyhops. I also am selling the dpx2 rear shock and gonna run the stocker. It felt like I couldn't get the rebound slow enough. Could be the tune, as it's off a new Stumpy. Pro's- very quiet, strong torque and good range. Cons- I'm broke!

I have a legitimate question regarding weight:
I was commuting home the other night behind an e-bike (they pull a nice draft at a pace I can maintain) and we came up on another bike that was much slower. The e-bike was able to zip around and I waited until the next clear area to pass. I was behind this guy for a bit and he was huffing and puffing. The context is Seattle, uphill and into our summer headwind, so the huffing and puffing is to be somewhat expected. When clear I came around him and rode by, looking to my right and noting that I was passing. When I saw him he was very red, gasping noticeably, and struggling mightily. That is when I noticed he was on an ebike, with what i assume was a dead battery.
So the question I have is how does the weight of these bikes impact your getting out of a trail if you suffer a battery failure? I used to ride a mid to high 30lbs santa cruz bullit as my main mountain bike and I suffered but it was my regular bike so my fitness matched the weight and while I didn't climb inordinately quickly I never suffered like this guy was.
Would a 50lbs mountain bike be a detriment to your safety or physical well being if you were only fit enough to ride it with assist and not enough to ride it without (which I assume was this poor fellows case last night)?
Serious question.

They’re heavy without assist, no doubt. But depending on your fitness level you should be able to granny out. I have a few miles in the mtns. But really I plan and possibly most do, just how much Trail your bike can handle. I’ll turn it off on some easy riding but mainly use eco. I huff and puff on my bike also, depends how many miles you’ve ridden. Since I mainly ride with regular mtbs, I usually run their pace and distance.
