Dirt TV have gone and put together a little edit of some of the bikes from the Maribor WC featuring weights, chainstay and wheelbase figures.

Pretty cool to have a look into what the top pros are running, http://dirt.mpora.com/news/dirttv-world-cup-bike-weighin.html

The Mondraker has a typo, not sure what Damien rides but should be in between 17.1"-17,7"

Damn this wasn't done last year, Fabs proto frame was 450gr lighter than the production ones that they ride this year :p

What was up with the Spec'y tent, too top secret?? Give me a break. Cool feature otherwise, & what, 6-7 lbs of mud on Minnaars bike after his run, damn!

I am really surprised that V10 proto was that heavy :O
Why's Summum heavier than Session?
And, why do WE feel the need for such light bikes? :D

Because our frame is heavier than Session, we are giving lifetime warranty so we went on the safe side, but last years race bike (the prototype) was 2.95kg, no shock with hardware. the summum frame M size pro team finish is 3.35kg.

I tell you lightness makes big difference. I have on the works something pretty crazy light (with the goal that need to last one full seasson of pro riding + trainnings). We'll see, how it comes, but don't think will made into production,... ;)
