What is it???

It doesn’t exist.

As Keith once said,

Strong, light, cheap. Pick two.

The Albino Sx160 by Unicorn Bikes
It is the bestest ever in the whole wide world.

If we can remove the est…

Canyon strive race would go a long way towards strong,light,cheap, bloody quick.

Probably have a mooch through here=

22 of the fastest bikes in this year’s Enduro World Series

Stongest and lightest means carbon.
Cheapest means direct sales.

So I’d say Jeffsy 27.

To be honest though at that sort of travel absolute weight shouldn’t be a core concern, a couple of hundred grams here or there won’t matter if the geo is crap.

its too vague a question.

The nomad they were belting against the concrete pillar for 10 minutes, want to beat it – hit your carbon frame against a wall for a bit 😉
If it’s the strongest it must be the lightest and cheapest strongest bike going 🙂

Canyon strive race

That’s what I was gonna say.

+1 for being damn fast too.

These are cheap and light if you fancy a build project:

I got the 29er 140 and broke a seat stay but that’s because I smashed a branch through it. Other to that, it’s plenty strong enough for my ongoing abuse.

Very good shout indeed.

I have a previous generation Sight and it’s an absolute hoot.

Strongest, lightest, cheapest. Three different, and competing variables.
What do you want it for op? Enduro racing? Trail? Mincing? Do you really need 160mm travel?

the trek slash 9.7 is 3/8k, not necessarily light as teh higher spec model is still fairly hefty

biy it is a big travel biek with big wheels, never going to tbe that light & strong
