How much does your bike weigh?

[Dawgee]

Just wondering how much everyones bikes weighed. I have a Azonic DS1 with disc brakes it weighs 29 pounds. Im not sure about my downhill bike but i think its somewhere around 45 pounds OUCH. I know Agent said his Bullit weighs 37 pounds . Im putting together a Bullit now im sure it'll be a tank.

[NEMBA_bkr-dude]

My specialized is 22 lbs but damn strong. With the original fork it is a little lighter but the Fox Vanilla is a lot nicer and lets it take more of a beating. Nothing greater than a light all mountain bike

[hogboy]

hmm lets see....with cages, no bottles, no other extras, with the
lightest tires I own

Litespeed Tellico, 20lbs
Trek 5900 Postal, 17lbs
Brompton, 25lbs
Surly 1x1, 25lbs
Trex XO1, 24lbs


weight I lost this year [on my own hogness], 25 lbs. so I reckon
none of my bikes weigh anything at all now

bkr - dude,

I used to be able to ride a light bike and still do all the tricks and drops i wanted to also. Chances are the same thing that happened to me will happen to you. I grew.

By the way, a little research should lead me to a great prize.


How is your set your bike up for the winter?

I'd have a picture if my scanner worked or I had a digital camera.

I ride my specialized stumpy pro w/ 03 fox forx vanilla 125 RLC, shimano m545 pedals, a 2.1 maxxis mobster in the back, and a 2.1 Nokian gazzaloddi core in front. In other words I leave it how it was cause I am broke and can't change anything until I get enough $$ to buy some carbon risers and an Easton mag stem.


I am riding my suped up specialized stumpjumper. I know it isn't much of a FR frame but it is strong as hell and light too. The biggest change I made was switch out the crapy SID SL with a 2003 Fox Vanilla 125 RLC. I also put on a Nokian Gazzalloddi Core up front and a Maxxis Mobster in the back and I swapped out the low end shimano pedals with M545's. I am currently saving up to replace the stem and bars.

ahh, to be bkr-dude's size again...

I ride a Trek hardtail that weighs about 26 pounds but I wouldn't really want to do any drops on it (I weigh over 200). I actually worry that I'll break my 19 pound road bike.

Funny thing is that I'd be better off losing my gut than having a light bike. Part of me wants to get a full-suspension bike this spring that is no heavier than my current hardtail. Of course weighing as much as I do I'm probably better off on a somewhat heavier bike that can take a little more abuse, but I'm having a hard time convincing my inner weight-weenie of that.

Ya JustBill you are right. Thats why I got the specialized frame. They have insanely long top tubes so if I get to tall I can change the stem. I figure if I keep biking I won't gain a ton more weight for at least a couple years. I actually lost 25 pounds this year. So I my bike feels twice as light.


HAHA you did it. You won the prize. Part of it is you get to give my tire a real name of your choice. The other part I am still trying to come up with.

[CouchingTiger]

Santa Cruz Chameleon SS w/ Marz DJ2 - pretty light
Santa Cruz Chameleon FRHT w/ Psylo XC - heavier
Santa Cruz Bullit w/ Jr T - heavier still
Intense M1 w/ Boxxer - heaviest

Cannondale CAAD4 road w/ Ultegra - lightest

Beyond that, does it really matter? My ass has at least 20# extra of beer and lard. I found long ago that if bike weight is your main concern you have three alternatives, don't ride, ride very light, replace parts often.

My lightest MTB is probably ~26#, the heaviest ~45#. I've had a 23# MTB before but I wouldn't trade now.

[I Are Baboon]

Titus Quasi Moto, built for aggressive XC: 31 lbs

My 03 Ridge weighs in at 36 lbs and my S Works DH at a very scant 48 lbs ;D

[C.P.]

Santa Cruz Chameleon SS w/ Marz DJ2 - pretty light
Santa Cruz Chameleon FRHT w/ Psylo XC - heavier
Santa Cruz Bullit w/ Jr T - heavier still
Intense M1 w/ Boxxer - heaviest

Cannondale CAAD4 road w/ Ultegra - lightest

Beyond that, does it really matter?

I agree with Couch, It Doesn't really matter. Especially when your big like me (215lbs 6'2") , otherwise you pay handsomely in disappointing part failures (those really expensive chi chi lightweight parts)

My '03 SantaCruz Heckler w/ Marz Z1MCR probably falls somewhere's between Couch's "heavier" and "heavier still" ;D I don't care to really know the actual weight, I love how it rides.

[T Grimble]

Cannondale R600 Road Bike ... 21lbs
Gary fisher Single Speed ... 21lbs
Seven Sola ... 21lbs

I never knew they came in different weights!

[The Toninator]

Stumpy - 22.5/23.5 ish
Dragon - 23.5/24.5 ish
Gt road bike - lighter than the above

[Big Game]

Intense Uzzi SL: Like 33 lbs or so (Hey I got a question, did anyone, as a kid or otherwise, pronounce lbs like "libs" instead of "pounds?")

K2 Razorback 4.0: It probably weighs like 14 pounds right now, seeing how it is mostly apart. It will wind up weighing 27-28 pounds when I finally get rid of that b.s. Noleen fork and put on a smoof marzocchi Z-1 (with 4 inches of luxurious travel). Yes, it's a little heavy for a race bike, but then again I suck, so it doesn't matter much.

Kona Haole: I don't know. It's pretty light. It rips.

Columbia Something or Other: I got this Columbia frame from my uncle --- he received it as payola when he was a disc jockey during the fifties. I cobbled a complete bike together with mostly Columbia parts. I can almost inflate the tires and at this point there is more non-oxidized steel than rust, but you never know, that could change tonight. Its got to be around 45 libs or so.

Lib-Tech Matt Cummins: Yes, this isn't even a bike (its a snowboard) and I don't even know the weight. I just felt like talking about it. It looks real swell. It has pretty pictures on it. I'll be having fun with it tomorrow.

I have to say Couching Tiger gave me a good laugh with his bike weights. I dont care how much my bikes weigh either just hope to get some goofy answers and i did Thanks ;D

Ya JustBill you are right. .....I figure if I keep biking I won't gain a ton more weight .....


HAHA you did it. You won the prize. Part of it is you get to give my tire a real name of your choice. The other part I am still trying to come up with.


Kewl, it looks like a rear tire so i think I'll call it B.O.B (back of bike)
Unless, of course, its a girl (how does one check?) then i would chose Eowyn. Behind every great man is a greater woman. (some girl wrote that i think)

Everyone should note:
When Master Tobias mounts his bike, it's weight is only increased by 1 graham. :)

[nhiker]

Trek Cast Iron......245lbs when my but is in the seat. :-[

[NEMBA_bkr-dude]

well since it is a mobster I am guessing it is a boy so B.O.B. it is. For all of you weight weenies one Graham is = to 135 lbs.
