Mine is on average 140mm (160 front, 120 rear) and currently 31lbs with its lighter wheels and tyres in. Usually 33lbs. Wouldn't have it any other way tbh, I'm a weightweenie but I can't lose anything more off it without either making it less good or selling my arris down the docks.

at least 33lb, published weight for the medium was 15kg, mines a small but with a dropper post it must be easily that.
Love it though, did 36 miles/4000ft ascent on it yesterday and a 20 mile round trip to Lee Quarry today on it.
Its just too much fun to leave at home!
PS I'm 5'2" and weigh 9 stone so comparatively its a big lump.

My Covert 29 has come in at 33.4lb on the bathroom scales. I'm actually surprised at that. Not because I was expecting anything different - its pretty much bob on to the spec weight, but because it feels lighter to ride than I would have imagined a heavyweight bike to ride and had assumed the on-paper spec over-egged the weight. Having said that the build is not particularly light - pretty much bog std parts, reverb, burley wheel set. Great bike though. 3 months in and loving it - though managed to damage my cassette last ride out (no idea how I did that) so on my 25lb hardtail tomorrow, so that'll feel different i'm sure.
My ibis mojo was 24lbs when I got it first, 140mm rear, 150mm talas front, it's now got middle aged and spread to a more portly 27lbs with heavier wheels, bigger tyres and a dropper. I really still do not like pushing too much weight up a hill ๐

around 14.5 kg with real tyres and seat post
Mojo SL-R with DT Swiss 150mm XMM's, not weighed it yet, but in the 'mate picking it up in the car park' test it scored 'b*gger me that's light!'
2013 spicy 516 (160mm): 30.8 (bathroom scales) lbs
aye, i had the same experience with my pitch.
32lb for a small 2008.
i wasn't expecting it to be light but still.
some heavy bits on it which don't really need to be so beefy.
makes me ask myself everytime why i need such a heavy bike.
My Hemlock in it's current AM-guise (Lyrik Coil 160, 150mm rocker, Hope/Flow/Minions) is definitely 33lb, maybe a bit more
Bathroom scales test, on a concrete base and weighed 3 times on it's own and then 3 times with me, and then me weighed 3 times to get the averages of each.
Had 2 at 27lbs and 1 at almost 27.5lb...happy with that, it feels light and rides light so I'm not overly fussed...
hey northwind, what do ride that's 120 back and 160 front?
is it 'meant' to be?
No accurate weights but I'll cheerfully carry my Zesty 314 for 2 hours to reach a good descent.
Does that help?
Large Zesty with a lardy Recon fork and Hope/Stans Flow wheels = 31lbs
what do ride that's 120 back and 160 front?
is it 'meant' to be?
I can field that one as I have the same iirc...Hemlock. Swappable rocker: 120 or 150
My heavily upgraded 09 zesty is 28.5 lbs and as it happens for sale !
Nicolai AC pinion 650b,150mm travel,2.35 tyres and flow ex rims.
32lbs and loadsa fun
chrs nuke. thought as much. do you ride yours liek that? does it work?
Why do we need such heavy bikes? For me its about fun and the things I am prepared to tackle on it that I wouldn't want to on my lightweight hard tail for fear of it snapping. Yes, its more of an effort to pedal up hill, but no so much that I wouldn't contemplate a whole day's cross country trek on it. And at the end of the day i've no interest in racing up hills anymore. I'm quite happy to stick it in granny gear and saunter up to the top taking as long as I like and enjoying being out and about and saving my legs for the downhill. I enjoy my lightweight hard tail, its super efficient and covers ground quickly, but on a technical rocky section i'll slow down and pick my way through it, on this i'll point it straight downhill and go for it. Its great fun. It's like having a Range Rover for general go anywhere ability, and a Lotus Elise in the garage for the occasion you fancy a quick blast.

My medium 2011 Zesty 314 is bang on 30lbs.
I've never even considered weight when I changed the bars and stem, converted it to 1x10 with a chainguide and put wire bead single ply minions on it.
My (large) heckler tips the scales at a weighty 38lbs.
Apart from the frame itself the main contributing factors are probably Rev Rls, AM4/721 wheelset, steel hilo dropper, 2.5-3.0 tubes.
Medium Heckler
Goes between 31-35lb probably

Next build will be a blur lt 28-30lb though.
My Edison was bang on 29lbs when I sold it:

Bionicon DoubleAgent 160mm G2 fork
Zee rear mech
XT iSpec shifter
KS i7 dropper
Truvativ Descendant cranks (165mm)
Superstar Switch hubs on Alex Supra 30 (tubeless)

Zee brakes
Damn that was a good bike - new owner is loving it too ๐
Will be finishing the new build (Alva 180 Air in small) this week so will weigh it up but calculations based on a medium we built last month with 2.5" Minions (with X0 2x10 as opposed to my 1x10 and Ikon/Butcher tyre choice) which was dead on 32lbs, gives a 29lb weight again but on a much bigger bike.

DT forks, wheels, shock.
