Well, finished's probably not the right word 😉 But yah. It weighed even less for the 6 months I was building the thing.

Gwins session 9.9 from last year was 36lbs, and was the lightest on the circuit, so not sure where you get sub 35 from? Got pics of your old metal intense weighing 26lbs?
I wish I had. My lbs did it on some park digi scales but I didnt have a camera or my phone with me!!! D'oh. It also cost less than half the £8k current superbikes cost.
As to the weight, Santa cruz quote sub 35lb for a V10 for an off the peg customer bike without carbon rims. Add carbon rims, Ti springs, air forks, carbon bars etc. plus any other team issue stuff and its not hard to see how they could loose the extra weight.

Also isnt a stock Mondraker Summum under 36 lbs?

Blur LTc for me.
Fox 36 floats, just fitted some 750mm Easton Havoc carbon bars and a MRP 2x Bashguard.
Weighs in at 30.6lbs.
I'm loving the look of the new Bronson C and i'm itching to try one, read nothing but good reports.
If only i had £6k (or a credit card with a £6k limit).
Here's my stealth bomber. 2006 Enduro, DHX coil, Marz 55s, a right mix of components from around the garage. No idea what it weighs, don't want to know it might scare me!

it works for me and withstands the daily trail abuse, so I'm a happy chappy.
Heres my beast, Orange Five 2011, Disco Black. XT/XTR Brakes, Hope Grips. SGD Saddle. Straitline Silent Guide running 32t ring and Fox Float 150 RL Kashima forks with RP23 Shock and Reverb.
31 lbs with my LBS scales.

I thought it was just properly stealth 🙂

Not had it long, rides well, quite light. Got it cheap. Happy days. It has a shorter stem now. Cougar tyres are quite terrible.

I do love those shaped enduros ^^^^^
Mine's in boxes in the dining room awaiting delivery of wheels and Cotic getting new stock of frames in.
Small Rocket
X-Fusion Slant 160s
Flow EX on Tesla hubs
Purgatory/The Captain
XT brakes (203/180)
X9 cranks

LS1 chain device
Superstar Ultra Mag pedals
Funn Funnduro stem
Nukeproof Warhead 760mm 20mm rise bars
ODI Ruffian MX grips
Reverb
Charge Knife
Spreadsheet says 29lb based on Sicklines/Weight Weenies weights where possible, so I reckon anything under 31lb real world is good once I get it built.
Current bike is also probably 'AM' but without the both ends bounce.
XS BFe
Marzocchi 44 @ 150mm
Flows on Superstar Switch EVO

Superstar Plasma chain device
Ragley Stubbings stem
Nukeproof Warhead 760mm flat bars
ODI Ruffian grips

Real world weight is pretty much dead on 29lb on (as far as I'm concerned) pretty accurate scales.

Me too. I still think they look great. I've just retired my SX Trail...

My only real issue was the slack seat tube; it made the bike feel like it want to wheelie up steeper climbers unless you adopted a super low, elbows out climbing position. Other than that, I great bike that I really enjoyed riding.

Basically because I wanted a yellow bike. To be honest the Mega climbs better and desends just as well which makes me question the price difference! I'll probably build the Nomad back up again at some point.
And one more of unpolished AM bike.... this time dangling under a helicopter 8)

This is my Zesty. Coil Lyriks, Push'd Van R out back. Most of the time its got 2.35 Minions on Flows, gravity dropper and now 1*10 with Zee and Silentguide. Travel wound down to about 145mm front and it'll go all day, albeit a bit lardy.
For uplift and alps holidays, stick on the 2.5 tyres and burly wheels, offset shock bushings to slacken it off a touch and wind the forks out to 160mm and its a pretty awesome bike.
Weight wise, I'd guess at 33-34lb in normal guise, 36-37lb when done up for have a go downhill.
Is that the new Heli-Lift at Cannock...

Quicker than the Spicy it replaced. Have only used it at Afan and XC (whilst my XC bike was sick). Great bike, well balanced in the air, but the front end feels a little woolly at speed though the corners. Hoping a rim change from Crest (WTF) to Flows will resolve the issue. Don't think my 16.5stone plus kit plus bike helps.
Been some changes since page 2 so....

Ah, the voice of an XX1 (or XX1 style chainring) newbie.
Every single bike we have with XX1 & X01 has a guide (top admittedly, but that's all you need) because it may work great to begin with, until wear is introduced into the system. Then it's not very good.
There is a reason why SRAM changed the wording from 'definately no guide needed' to 'a guide may be needed in some circumstances'.
