Jake. Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Just curious to be honest, mine weighs in at 10.8kg. Was quite surprised at how light it was, have just put lighter tyres on to be fair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 9.08kg, now with trialtech bars on and not these onza genesis ones. Weighed with my brand new luggage scales the week before I left for texas 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnthebiker Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 My scale claims this thing weighs 9.07kg, but I don't know... What do you guys think? Either way it's super fun to ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Sounds about right to be honest, really liking the look of that. Raw the bar/stem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Not sure what my Rockman weighs but it's not a hefty spec at all. Light tyres front and rear, light wheels, frame, BB, tubes, crankset, dual mag, full ti bolts etc... Felt ridiculously light with my Karbon forks in. As it stands I'd say low 8s Edited June 17, 2015 by SamKidney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 I'm still trying to decide whether actually having a light bike is worth it? So far having a slightly heavier bike hasn't restricted me at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 It's a light bike, so easy to throw about. But it's so goddam stiff it's unreal. Not a bit of flex anywhere. Feels really good to ride. Sam kidney loved it haha. I rode his rockman and you can't half tell the difference 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ Leigh Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 12.64 Kilos. Yet, feels effortless to ride? gonna get some lighter cranks soon though... these deore's are surprisingly heavy! but ive had no problems with them However, im running a Kenda DH tube in the back... but a super light Jitsie tube in the front so its all cool, and all un balanced haha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bing Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Will be mid 9's I reckon. Didn't you just get new cranks? His will be low 8's because it's full of Ti and carbon bits. The only Ti bits mine has are the brake lever fixings. Weight is an thing upto a point, but i think feel/stiffness should be the factor that people should consider. Weight does affect how it rides, don't get me wrong, but stiffness/feel will affect it a whole lot more. I bet Jordan's Skye is much the same as mine, no give at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bike is lighter than the cleep but the way you can get the power down on the crewkerz is unreal. So so stiff I couldn't believe how direct the input in cranking was.

weirdoku Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 With Onza Genesis frame and fork 8.5kg ish, or with KM1 frame and trialtech forks about 9.5kg. Or just under 8kg, but that's my track bike lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
