Hi,

I recently bought my first full suspension bike and I'm curious to see what other peoples bikes weigh (Hardtail or Full Sus)

It's a:

Giant AC2 - Large frame (2003)
Rock Shox Psylo XC forks
Race Face XC crank
Giant MPH disc brakes
Shimano XT throughout (apart from deore shifters)
Rigida rims/hubs with Tioga DH 2.1 tyres
Titec bars/stem/seatpost
DMR V12 pedals
Sella Italia SLR Ti saddle

I put the things on the scales yesterday and it weighed in at 32lbs

My giant XTC2 hardtail weighs 26 lbs so I notice a difference, but does 32 lbs sound about right for a 6" travel FR machine ??

What does yours weigh ?? (brief description of bike/parts)

Thanks

What happened to the K2?

As for weights..

Try www.light-bikes.com and http://weightweenies.starbike.com/

My bike is dead at 24lbs, it is a XTC2, with king wheels, Duke XC u-turn forks, Hayes HFX9 brakes and other mid weight/durable parts.

I have Fox forxs coming for it anytime soon and new brakes after that.. it will weight 23lbs then

 

[ma77smith]

that light bikes link is dead for me :/

I don't know what I could do to get the weight of mine down without spending loads and making it weaker ! It is a large size beefy FR frame after all, so I suppose it would be difficult to get it under 28-29lbs anyway - even with Ti parts.

A work in progress

My 2004 Jekyll 800 Large frame weighs in at 27lbs. I have changed tires, installed Stans, different seat, foam grips, removed the lockout, Egg beaters, new seat post collar without the stupid quick release.

I will be happy somewhere at 25lbs. I can see a different set of tires, carbon bars and post and another wheelset for future mods. I would also like to get a lighter disc cobo.

I've done two races on them this year (two short track races). The courses were in North Carolina with not too challenging terrain with no problems (placed 3rd in one). Not sure I would use those tubes on extremely rocky terrain, but I have about 450 miles on the tires with no problems. Although, I am about ready to replace the rear tire anytime now.

My red fetish weighs this much.

 

[pimpbot]

I love it...

What happened to the K2?

... but I just came to the conclision that it was just too friggin small for me. I kept trying to band-aid it by using crazy long stems and running the saddle all the way back in the rails.

I got a Large FSR-XC and found it is a way better fit. The k2 was definately more nimble and racy, and climbed better, tho. I woulda jumped on another Razorback in Large if I found one at the right price. A great deal on a used FSR frame dropped in my lap, so I took it. I gotta say, the FSR is way more plush, more trailbike. The frame is also a whole pound heavier. Not as flickable or point-and-shoot as the K2.

Right now, I'm building up the Razorback with a short stem for my wife to use. Initial test fittings say it's a bit too long for her even with a crazy short stem, so I dunno how that is going to pan out. I may just end up selling the Razorback all built up.
