As this years "x1" model is available in the sale for £1600 I'm very tempted, especially as its mostly fox, xt and slx components. The only thing I would upgrade is the stock wheels.

Does anyone have one and what kind of weight do they come out as? I've currently got a 26" anthem x1 which is full xt and quite light at just over 25lbs but fancy a 29er.

I've got one in medium, it weighed just shy of 12kg in the shop without pedals, fitted M540's, changed the wheels for Crests on Pro II Evo SP's and it then weighed 11.4kg all in

Great bike by the way - very capable. Just bought some 120mm forks for mine to release a bit more gnarr 🙂

I have an Anthem X 29 4 which I've modified extensively - and now sports 1x10, reba RLT's and hope/crest wheels.

I've not gone crazy light on parts, but it feels light to ride and goes like stink. Brilliantly capable bikes.

Mine is a 2013 X1 and it is just above the 26lb mark. One of the best bikes I've ever owned.
