How to get a Banshee Chaparral under 30 pounds

... and still keep it a Freeride bike. Let's say 6" of travel front and rear, not the 5" setup.

Super hard to do it with a 6" fork. I figured one to about 30.5 pounds.

With a air fork like a Minute you can get it to around 28 pounds.

Kinda lame to have a XC bike with a 9 pound frame.
