[Closed] Specialized enduro comp weight?

It's irrelevant, what you need to ask for is the weight after you've upgraded to non flimsy tyres and tubes 🙂

Can't answer you though as I'm on the 29er. It's light enough for me anyway.

As sideshow said, the tyres and tubes it comes with are very lightweight and not much cop for most riding that would justify the 160mm travel. About 30 lbs depending on what you end up sticking on it - wheels, tyres, dropper etc

Over 30lbs would be a good starting point.

Thanks for the replies so far guys , I was hoping it was around the 30lb mark. A lot of the 130/140mm trail bikes weigh around 30-31lbs these days so it's a good weight for a 160mm bike.

Yeah I think my (29er) is somewhere between 30 and 35 lbs. If you want hyperlight this is not the right bike. But I'm guessing you don't 😈

Thats fairly heavy for a decent 130/140mm bike

If it's too heavy for your liking all you need to do is borrow a set of scales from some of the STW regulars and "ta-da" instantly <28lbs.

Regardless of its stock weight they do ride very nicely and are not slouches when pointed uphill.

The elite 2015 is claimed 13.86Kg/30.55lb so your adding a bit on for real life rubber and a bit more for the lower spec.

If you want a real world just walk into a Spec dealer and get them to weigh one in front of you, being one of the biggest brands I reckon chances of seeing one are very high in a biggish shop.

It'll be heavy. Will need a lot of cash spent to get to 30lbs!

I rode a Stumpy 29er last year, think it was the Elite? Anyway I guessed it would be heavy but it flew, very nice bike. Care less about the weight cos at some point it's gonna be carrying 5lb of mud and debris!

You'd be surprised by some of the trail bike weights Mike , I've been tempted by a white t130 s and that was around the 30-31lb mark if I remember rightly. My max budget is 2k which is a lot for me and trying to find a decent bike at a decent weight is quite difficult .

Not once you've added decent rubber, pedals, cruds etc and it isn't a small frame.

You need to spend a good bit extra on almost any stock bike to get it light. £5-6k santa cruz nomads that are significantly over 30lbs once you put on pedals and strong tyres for example.

Most finishing kit can be lightened up a lot, but it's small gains for big money. The enduro isn't a light frame so you'll spend a lot and end up with the equivalent of Nigella...posh and tasty but you wouldn't want her doing cartwheels on your head.

If you can't find the weight it is probably a heavy bike. Anything that is light will be shouted about from the rooftops. Try riding one before you weight it and decide if it too heavy for you.

Bike weights are never quoted with pedals as it's such a personal thing. Keeps it a level playing field.

The base models come with Minion DHR2 TR's in a 2.3 so even upping to the 2.4 (biggest in that range) only adds 200g to the bike. Of the SC builds I've had my hands on the quoted weight comes in very close to the built weight. The Nomad C's all come in sub 30lb and having had my hands on a few I don't doubt that with the CC's higher specced coming in lower.

They're not too heavy, I've had no problems riding them around trail centre's when I've had a spin on a friend's. I k ow people make a lot of fuss about bikes being under 30lbs but that's something you can gradually work on as you upgrade over time.

They're a reliable bike that pedals well and descends nicely.

I had a pretty standard nomad cc on the carp scales last week at 30.5lb. Just proper tyres and pedals were changed, and a chainguide.

the frame difference between the C and CC is only 280g. Hardly way over the 30

Medium Nomad C 2015 X1 spec with 2.3 HR2 on WTB i25 with \hope pro2, Monarch Plus/Pike and RF Atlas pedals 31lbs!

My previous bike which I still have is a Spesh Endure 26 Expert (carbon) at 28lbs!

Spesh has similar tyes, pedals, saddle and I upgraded the shock to a CC DB Air CS adding at least 250g to the stock weight!

Just bought the Nomad and debating whether it can be worth carrying an extra 3lbs for its downhill prowess?!?!?!?!

I think not… what to do?

Bronson, 26.55lbs weighed on bike shops digital scales with trail spd pedals, HR2 front and rear, pikes goes down just as quick as up 😉 Trues its not a 160 mm but I don't think I miss the extra 10mm travel as much as I would hate the extra 4.5lbs of a 31 lbs bike. Why quote weight without pedals? I certainly need them, even on a bike ha ha ha

Bikes are usually sold without pedals!

Ignore it and appreciate the ability of your bike to smash? Plus, i bet the nomad climbs just as well as the old bike, probably better. The only reason this should be an issue is if you do a lot of hike a bike up big hills

@ Pawsy_bear

Can you share the bikes build here?

Thank you!

Sure Bronson, Pikes, SRAM Roam 60, HR2 front rear, Thompson, XT trail pedals, carbon bars, XT brakes 180 front rear, Gobi seat, Xo1 sram 1 x 11.

All normal gear, less the wheels I guess, but my view is that once I have bought them they can go on the next bike to 😉 was built and weighed by Skyline cycles

Id upload picky but I'm a biff at that but vid is here http://skylinecycles.tumblr.com/post/81575377453

Just looked at photo - 26.66 not 26.55 memory fade

If I had better and quicker mechanic skills id like to break both bikes down and compare frame weights.

It must be in the frames. Can't find Nomad frame weight info anywhere other than SC 'from 2.8kgs'...

Doubt it will climb much better if at all over 27lbs 13ozs Spesh.

And comparing more fairly a Enduro Expert 650b to a Nomad I can't believe it will walk all over the Spesh on the downs as they both have 165mm and slack HA.

Although I haven't ridden the Nomad yet so purely guesswork.

Its not all about the weight. Think many people expect too much from the bike and not enough from them selves. Want to go quicker easier up hill? Get fitter. Go down quicker, more skill. 3 weeks in Canada last year didn't see the 150mm under biked. All the locals were on Enduro type 150mm bikes, Wardens, YT etc. Uplift all day, yeah Id go for 160mm. Be great. Reality is you have to go up to come down. And for a good uplift day I stick DHF/DHR on. That makes a difference 😉

Yes perhaps, but I bought the Nomad on a bit of a whim as an 'as new' secondhand bike without selling my Enduro.

I've always wanted a SC but couldn't justify the cost compared to better value products. If I didn't still have the Enduro I wouldn't have been in doubt.

But the doubt led to the weigh in and I'm not sure I will gain anything in terms of up or down speed just 3lbs in weight!

If a Bronson builds up <27lbs WITHOUT XX!, light tyres and carbon rims why is the Nomad C so heavy, albeit the cheaper C version?

A bike is a tool first and foremost and I can't help thinking my Enduro is the better tool in hindsight.

Maybe throw a leg over it and go for a ride. You sound like you got a great deal on it.

The lower spec carbon adds 1lb to the bike, XX/X0 is bugger all difference so the rest will be down to little things, think the SRAM wheelset is a lightish one.
