They do cut.... the weight. ive never had problems with flatting when racing or dh riding. I'm 140 pounds and fairly smooth. but knock on wood.

Hey, smart weight weenies don't single ply, don't throw everyone in the boat... the only thing single ply at my place is the toilet paper.

The green looks so photoshopped. Unless you bumped up the contrast super high. That is one intense green!

The pics are edited, wb,contrast,and sharpen. but the green is a fluorescent green, so it is very intense, even in person.

I will run single ply till i rip a sidewall, which i have never.:pirate2:

I'm pissed. My Titus Supermoto even weights more (39lbs). :huh:
I should post the parts spec maybe you guy/gals could recommend component changes to bring the weight down.:lighten:

Green and puprle match in some cases but now the bike looks kinda like a cheap turner immitation(Sry). Probably it's not the colour but the matt. Square tubes just like gloss.
Still some fine parts on it. Just doesn't really hit my aestetics.
