[Closed] whats your AM/Enduro bike weight?

I foresee postings of many 'optimistic' weights ahead... 🙂

30lbs pretty much dead on.

For me any more than about 31/32 lbs starts to feel a bit too heavy, but YMMV. I've no idea what mine weighs though. 🙂

This is how you calculate weight;

Aluminium frame - weigh the bike, disregard weight on scales, claim 28-29lbs

Carbon frame - weigh the bike, disregard weight on scales, claim 26-28lbs

Thought 30lbs or below was about the standard weight to aim for, but if your happy with it thats all that matters.

Not really a weight weenie but happy how mine came out, though as with all these things probably better, and cheaper, to simply loose weight.

My Ion 16 sits at 29.94 lbs (I bought lighter grips and fitted a handful of titanium bolts to scrape it under 30).

I'd struggle to lighten it much more without making compromises I don't want to make, or buying wheels that would result in divorce..

My Mega is fairly portly at about 34.5lbs.

Not sure why really. Carbon bars, new Pikes, Flow rims... Still weighs a ton. It's got a CCDBA on it now too.

Still, it's totes amazeballs... 🙂

Mine's going to be ~28lb mark

But need to get it on scales to confirm.

(the frame is 2lb heavier than my scott was @26lb)

**EDIT**
Just read Devash's post....... 😳 Hahahaha.

Blur ltc 28-30 depending on what I do with it, lightened it up a bit going 1x but added a heavier damper.

Aluminium frame - weigh the bike, disregard weight on scales, claim 28-29lbs

My 2013 Meta AM is just over 33lbs with XR4's on - reverb, flows, zee brakes 203/180, 3x9, saint pedals, air lyriks.

mine is 14.5kg (banshee Rune and Bos suspension, rigid saddlepost)

🙂 😮

in my opinion 12.5 kg is in XC bike category, no matter what.

i should have said spec consists of...
marzocchi bomber 55cr
rock shox monarch rl
zee shifter
lx ht2 cranks
slx shadow+
slx cassette/chain
zee with 203mm/slx with 180mm
atomlab dhr rims, atomlab trailpimp rear hub/wtb laser dh front hub
dmr bashring
wtb saddle
it will have a blackspire shore seatpost back on soon
raceface diabolus d2 stem
renthal fat bar lite
odi tld grips (not pictured)
x-lite bar plugs
either maxxis ignitor 2.35 or panaraces fire fr 2.4

to be honest, with that spec i expected it to weigh more so i was pleasantly surprised

Mines about 33-34 then as Scampers is similar to mine 🙂

My 06 Tomac Omen is my AM bike and weighs a smidge under 35lbs. ~4lbs of that is in the Bombers, DH rims, and Raceface chainguide.

My Alpine 160 in this pic is 29.9 lbs on my feedback scales
[url= ]pic[/url]

31-34 depending on which tyres/wheels are on it on the day.

It's at the point where swapping any bits for lighter ones starts to compromise its reliability, I've had it under 30, but slowly ended up putting weight back on to deal with failures.

Most people vastly under-estimate the weight of their bikes, especially 'Enduro' bikes in my experience...

My Prophet weighs around 15kg/34lbs (using a digital luggage scale)

Flow EXs
Hans Dampfs
2x10 SLX and XT
Bash and single roller
KS Dropper
Pike 409s

It's too heavy really. Ditching the Pikes for the new version would save around 600g, but the finances aren't going to allow that for a while.

Genuinely weighed, but with a cheap scale, mine comes in at 27.54lbs ready to race. That's a Hemlock with Pikes, fat singleplys, 1x10 and ti or carbon everythings, nothing on it that doesn't work or can't be trusted. But the number still seems a bit low tbf.

Having said that I'm about to alp it, that'll add probably 5lbs of wheel, tyre and fork.

My Covert 26 comes in between 31-32lb. Could shed some weight but I'd be getting into silly money per gram and I could probably do with loosing a couple of lbs myself!

Alloy Mk2 Nomad with Lyrik RC2DH, Iodine wheels, carbon cranks, bars and bits of gear/brakes, Minion & HR tyres, was 30lbs with a 2x10 X0 set up.

Got EXO Minion and HRII on there now which are heavier and more so that I put a fair bit of sealant in now. However I've gone 1x10 so no front mech, but then again added a Reverb. Haven't weighed it, but feels heavy. Never notice it when riding though, except maybe some climbs if I compare it against my hard tail.

The EXO stuff is chunky also, 2.4/2.5 size tyres. I put them on for the alps a year ago and is maybe a bit OTT for normal duties (it's only Surrey Hills in the main after all 😀 ).

26ers clearly have the advantage here, saving at least 10g!

32 lbs.

which as everyone knows: is the perfect weight for a sturdy, full-bounce 29er.

(it could be lighter, but that would cost several hundreds, and i'd rather go on holiday)

Current LTHT that I've used in races is 27.8lbs, incl. dropper and beefy tyres (on slightly too light wheels). My previous alu, coil-sprung, 160mm FS was about 31.6lbs, iirc.

Weight is a curious one, sometimes considerable heft can be reassuring....there is plenty of stuff at the Devils Punchbowl in Hindhead that i think twice about going down on a mountain bike but will happily go down on 120kg worth of off road motorcycle....falling off doesnt bother me (or it) either, it feels bombproof, pick it up, fire it up and carry on....but the mountain bike can feel skittish and the light weight sometimes feels like its being bounced around all over the place whereas the motorcycle always feels planted.

The only bike i like to weigh is my road bike (8kg exactly if you must know, not bad for aluminium)....i couldnt care less what the mountain bikes weigh.

31.4lb

to go any lighter would make it faster up/along hill, but probably worse downhill IMO,and I'm happy with the balance as it is.

With the possible exception of swapping the coil fork for a new pike would take a pound and a bit off the weight, but it still might not be quite as good.

I put on the stock wtb/shimano wheels and dual ply tyres for the Alps adds another kilo or so

the carbon wheels were the only effort to make it lighter for all day loops and teh longer 40-50k endruos with lots of climbing, going 1x10 also helps, loose weight though mostly did that for simplicity

Trance carbon running tubeless 1X10 with dropper and Flows. A shade under 27lbs.

34.8lbs for a 2012 18 inch Orange Alpine 160. All stock apart from Reverb, XT brakes 1x10, SRAM X9 mech/shifter, Pro Atherton saddle, Ti Superstar pedals (nicked from wife when she stole my DX SPDs!) Renthal Kevlar lockons (not worth the money), 740 Kore Durox bar (again a hand me down from the wife) and 2 Ply 2.5 Minion DHFs (ghetto tubeless). Just about to switch back to single ply tyres for UK riding when I can afford some.

Next thing to upgrade will be the forks as currently standard Fox 36R and regularly push them past the limits of control.

Could be lighter (a friend's Mondraker summum is lighter than it) but I'm skint and have a mortgage to pay.

Tom KP

29lbs as I actually weighed a bike I've owned for the first time ever.

13.8kg for my banshee spitfire as it is , so a shade over 30Ib . I could go under 30Ib with carbon bars and a couple of small changes, doesn't really matter though as the bike is great as it is:)

It may be a little lighter now.

Intense Tracer 2 33lbs
Usual Reverb, Flowex hoops, High Roller 2Tr exo. Xt /xtr mix saint pedals,Easton Havoc bar n stem.

34 1/2 lbs on the bathroom scales which if my wife is to be believed is more likely to be under 29 lbs because these scales always put 5lb on her 😉

E29, 28lbs.

25lbs titus carbon ftm on the bathroom scales 🙂

Just rember peeps cheapest way to lower a bikes weight is for the rider to stop stuffing his face for a while.

650b Spicy team is 27.5lbs on the Park tools workshop scales

Liteville 301, 26.63 lbs on Feedback sports digital scales.

My Santa Cruz Blur LTc weighs 29.2lbs.... when it's clean 😀

Could easily drop a couple of kg by upgrading the wheels and swapping coils for air but i dont see the point as i own a Soul so this bike is not used gently ^^

Prophet with rev dpa, flows, mainly XT 2 x 9, GD, Time Zs, Chunkys, DH tubes & no carbon whatsoever is 31 lb on my NASA calibrated bathroom scales.

Next step should be to give each bike a number, then have a "True, lie or fantasy" thread for all the weights

2007/8 Giant Reign, coil shock, Marz 66rc3Ti, sturdy finishing kit, and a nice flite saddle 🙂

35.5lbs.

My ol 575 is about 28lb. Thought things would be significantly lighter by now. Mags promised they would be!

I've spotted a few I'm suspicious about... which caught your eye?

2014 Specialized 29 Carbon Evo Large
Full XX1
Derby rims on Carbon TI hubs, CX Ray spokes
2.3 Minion / Bonty XR 3 2.3
150mm pikes
2013 XTR brakes

26.5lbs on scales that work 🙂

31.5 lbs on the dangly digital scale things. Endurotastic!

Swap the SLX+bash, Flow EXs and Super Gravity front tyre for carbon cranks, Arch EXs and a normal reinforced carcass front tyre and it would be 29.5lbs but not quite as bombproof!

Bigger forks, bigger shocks, bigger wheels, stiffer frames = faster downhill but heavier unless you make lots of bits out of carbon.

30lbs

Just fitted a UST highroller to the front of mine. It now weighs about a ton.

Hope when I go weigh my orange 5AM it comes in below 35lb but I think the full width Atlas Bars and Stem and Fox 36s may be weighing it down......but then why worry about it, blaming a slightly heavy bike for poor fitness is no answer 😆

Old Nukeproof Mega
X Fusion Vengeance, 1x10 XT, Hope/521 etc.
33lb on Park digital scales in the shop.

Pig of a bike, but does its job.

30lb for an XL Bronson Carbon.

Lakes_Puma - after about 5 minutes on this thread you massive resolution photo still hadn't finished loading. Just how heavy is it (the picture)??

30.2lbs on my Blur LTc with a CCDB coil on, Pikes,

My Privee Shan with Lyriks, mostly XTR and tubless is just shy of 30lbs.

There are some optimistic weights on this thread 😆

Thats more like it.

Some of these sub 30lb Enduro bikes look like they'd break on seeing the Alps.

What a stupid statement.

My large Devinci Dixon is 12.9Kg (28.4 LBS) which is heavier than my friends Bronson. I have bigger brakes and piggyback shock though (plus about £2000 in spare change) 🙂

My Enduro bike weight? Just light enough, so that when it hits me on the back of the head after another massive OTB it only hurts a little.......

[img] [/img]

25.5lbs pre pedals.

I genuinely have no idea, but as it's an alu/carbon frame it must be 27-28lb. Obviously.

My new Bronson C weighs 28lbs dead on.
35mm carbon Rims, King hubs/headset/BB, Hope Tech 3 E4 brakes with 183mm floaters, Full XX1 groupset, Reverb, CCDB Air cs, ENVE RSR Bars, GEAX Goma tyres, full frameskin, Time Atac Carbon Pedals, Thomson 50mm stem, Fizik Gobi saddle, ODI Lockons.

Quality at a price but here in KL it costs a $hitload less than UK/Europe.

Great to ride.
