I have an 07 Heckler in large. Annodized (that could make a difference compared to powdercoat) with a set of lyriks (coil u turn), DHX 5 coil with ti spring. XT/X9 kit. Thomson stem and post. Super wide bars and code brakes 8" disls on ex729/hope pro II wheels 2.5 tyres and DH tubes. Weighs in at 30lbs, using [img]

pace 405 28.5 lbs wouldnt really want it mush lighter although i could still lose a lot from the wheels maybe go tubeless
Medium Yeti 575 with the carbon seatstays, Revs, XT, Mavic 618's, Bonty Jones ACX and a fair bit of dried on mud: 27.4lbs
My Patriot is 38 lbs with 2.4 maxis advantage tires, lyric coil forks, XT group set and hope wheel brake set, my 456 is 31 lbs with 2.1 conti diesel tires and magura durin fork, magura louise brakes, mixture of X0 and X9 with middleburn cranks and rings. I can survive just as big and long a day on both, unless there is lots of very steep techy climbing, then I last longer on the 456. Which I put down to the differing geometry of both bikes.
However....... considering that my camelback, filled for a long day with tool kit, spare inner tube, 2 or 3 snack bars plus sarnies, pump and shock pump, 2 or 3 litres of water and camera weighs at least 9 lbs, and add my 195 lbs then I feel the difference is moot.
Dialled PA- 29lbs on bathroom scales
Merlin Malt1 singlespeed - 25lbs
I just stripped my Enduro frame in preparation for my alpine arriving figured it would be a good opportunity to weigh everything on the digital kitchen scales so for anyone thats interested, this is what all these bits weigh. Its all pretty good kit and there's not really anywhere I want to go much lighter. (formating doesn't work too well everything is in nice neat columns in the edit window, bah!)

21 lbs in race mode (717wheels 1.95 tyres etc)
22-23 lbs trail fat tyre mode and hell of a lot more comfortable.
2 separate LBS's weighed it.
Carbon and full XTR.
Did it make a difference? hell no. Did it make me enjoy or go faster? Nope!
What did? me getting fit and losing 20kg of fat from riding my heavy road bike.
Building a 28 lbs heavy old single speed. -It's fun handling frame! If I was really worriefd about weight I'd buy another carbon Zaskar etc.
I'd rather ride a Genesis or Kona Extreme Cro mo just for the ride quality.
So best weight weenie was not to be a fat b&stard. Now I'm a slim b&stard.
Pass me some apple pie-it's my fetish/kryptonite 😈
My "over biked" Nomad 32.5lbs, which seems the same or only slightly heavier than some peoples "under biked" hardtails, hmmm...
