Just curious to know how heavy yoru XC/all mountain bike is, and how much travel you ride. Not sure what mine currently weights, but if I replace it, the bikes I'm looking at are between 28 and 30lbs (all 5" f/r travel bikes)

I have a Trek Y-22 carbon with the Boulton JackRabbit swing arm, depending on which plate you use it has 5.5 to 6" of rear travel. Mine is set at 5.75 and mated to a Stratos XC-Pro shock. The set up weighs just under 27LBS.

Giant AC Air Light
- 4.5, 5.15 and 6 inches adjustable rear travel. I only ride in the 6 inch mode.
- Rockshox Psylo up from 5 inches travel
- I weigh about 180lbs
- The bike weighs in at 32lbs

I used to ride a Giant NRS-1. Weighed 26lbs with 3.75 inches of travel. It was just too lightweight for the kind of riding I started to get into.

My Superlight with 4" or rear travel and a Fox float 100RL weighs in a hair under 24lbs. My Giant AC air with a 5" fork and up to 6" rear comes in about 32lbs.

It's pushing about 38lbs and I leave it in 6" because it pedals so so so so so so well with the 5th.

Choice of either...

Titus Quasimoto - 6" Rear / Marz Z1 - 5" Front
weighs 34 pounds but will gain a few with the addition of a boxxer/superT, etc,... now that a more XCish FS bike has arrived.

(This just in)C'dale Scalpel - 2.75" Rear / Lefty DLR Ti - 4" Front
weighs 26.5 pounds and may lose a couple in the next few months.

Raced the Quasi at the 24 hours of Seven Springs, so yes it's and XC bike (lol) Raced the Scalpel this past weekend for it's virgin ride at the 12 hours of Wisp(solo).

Now if the rain would just quit for more than 2 days around here, maybe the trails would dry out enough for me to take one of them out. :angry:

Giant is going to warranty my ATX with an XTC SE1 (or 2) hardtail so I will be joining you soon. My goal is to have it built under 24LBS with Moto Raptor 2.4s, Avid disks and my Zuccinni Bomber Z1... frame weighs under 1400 grams but that other crap is HEAVY.

I have a XC hardtail too. With a 80mm Manipoo MARS Fork, it weighs in at about 21lbs depending on the tires. It does not get ridden much because I can't stand the fork and the rest of it is built out of high quality but worn out parts.

'03 Jekyll, 5.3" rear travel, 4" front travel, about 26.5 lbs. If I find some extra money for some carbon bars, eggbeaters, and a Thompson seatpost, I can probably drop about a pound more...

'03 Psylo SL up front - 5" when it is dialed all the way out

All the components are stock except the fork, and it comes in around 32 lbs. Don't have any $$ to replace stuff yet to bring the weight down. Guess I'll just have to get stronger. ;)

Not listed anywhere yet. I hope to have a complete spec list and photos sometime this week, along with parts and another bike.

If you are interested, pm me and I'll give you the run-down on it. I'm only selling it because I tore my ACL. I love this bike.

my xc bike is fully rigid, and about 25 lbs. dbr axis, full xtr/chris king/slightly heavy tires (2.6 gazzi dual as a substitute for a fork, probably will come off before the season, and a 2.4 vertical pro in the rear).

Weighs in at 33 lbs, a lot more than the kona web site states, and that weight is with some lighter components I have already put on.

4" rear, 3-5" front (I put a TALAS R on the front).

I haven't even started to look at how to lighten things up, and so far it rides lighter than it weighs.

Everything is kinda pieced together with random parts, but works fine.

The bikes rides pretty poorly with the 5" fork. I've been meaning to fix it; perhaps I'll take care of that in another month.

I'd attach a pic, but I've never done that before.
