I recently bought an ex-demo 2014 G150 S (lower model) as a massive departure from my usual XC type bikes (I mostly ride an On-One Whippet weighing about 24lbs maybe less). The bike is not far from 32lbs but I have found it surprisingly easy to ride up, down, all around. The weight is nothing like the issue I thought it would be and I think the bike climbs really well considering it’s weight and 150mm travel.
On my base model there is plenty of scope to lose some weight without compromising performance but I’m not in a massive hurry to change anything as the bike is very useable as is. I’m really liking the bike and can’t wait to get it out to Spain in a month or so.
