Spent a happy hour in the garage yesterday seeing what it could be with different combinations.
All figures below are WITHOUT PEDALS. If it bothers you, you can mentally add 400g for XT trail pedals, or 500g for Nano thrupins. 😀
Frame is a Mk3 medium, with Answer Carbon bars, SRAM contour foam grips, SLX brakes, XT shifters, XT M785 2×10, Gusset BB, Hope Pro2 Evo with Arch Ex, 2.2 Snakeskin Nics run tubeless, XT 11-36 cassette, XT Shadow plus rear mech, SLX 2x front mech band on, reverb seatpost and charge spoon saddle. .
With Magura Thor 140 AM fork it weighs exactly 12kg, so 26lb 7 oz
With Reba SL fork 11.7kg, so 25lb 12oz
With a carbon post and a knife saddle off my roadbike it weighed 11.2 kg in Reba flavour, that’s 24lb 11oz.
I’m toying with converting it to 1×10, and last time I did that with a similar drivetrain I saved 300g, so 1×10 with carbon post and knife saddle that would bring it under 11kg, let’s say 10.9 kg, or 23lb 13oz.
Too much time on my hands? Possibly. It rides best with the reverb and Thor by the way, although the Reba is a lot of fun.
