WEIGHT: 32 lbs on the nose

While you have a few lightweight parts on there I find it hard to believe that bike weighs 32lbs. Are you sure there isn't something wrong with your scale?

Nice bike but.....

Not sure how much that is in lbs, I think 29.65lbs

Yes it is, and once again I don't see how that is possible. How about some details on that bike?

My F1 frame weighs 8.5lbs bare and there really isn't anything on the bike that is heavy. The tires aren't even DH tires, just fat XC tubeless. i9 wheels, 140g seat, carbon bars, seatpost, XO derailleur, my shock weighs less than a DB air and my fork weighs less than a Boxxer. ???

I hope it's my scale that is off but by looking at all the other bikes on here except the 2 that I'm questioning my weight seems more in line. Unfortunately.

If my bike weighed anywhere close to 32 lbs I'd be super happy. Let alone under 30. MY XC bike weighs more than that.

Trust me, my scale is accurate..... Having said that, the bike is def too light!

Just take a look at his build Enve Carbon wheels, Enve Carbon Bars, Boxxer WC, looks like Formula RO? brakes, Ultra light seat (Ti rails?), Thomson post. Just guessing but probably running tubeless, air shock etc.......Some of the lightest parts money can buy.

Why are you questioning everyone?

Take your bike, you say nothing on there is heavy. That's the thing. Those guys would think Saint cranks were lead weights, you could probably save 300g off your saint brakes by going Formula the One. Do you have a Dura Ace cassette or possibly even lighter? 50g off your stem, 50g going titanium in bolts, 10g loosing that quick release off your seatpost clamp. It's the many small things which quickly add up. (The bike has friggin carbon rims.) Go home and make an excel sheet like the other guys probably have done if you want to figure it out.

Or just go out and ride like sensible people, but don't go around claiming that people are dishonest just because you don't understand it

TOTEM looks massive ! those pedals are slick too

That's exactly what I was thinking. What size are the stanchions?

[akacoke]

That's exactly what I was thinking. What size are the stanchions?

if im not mistaken, its 40mm.

[mtbnozpikr]

if im not mistaken, its 40mm.

I just confirmed it on their website and you are indeed correct. I've got a Fox 40 with the same size stanchions (obviously...) but dang, they look enormous on a single crown fork such as the Totem.

quick off topic question tho,

i know that bigger diameter stanchions make a stronger fork. for instance , my manitou sherman has 130-170mm travel, but the stanchion is 32mm. i dont really ride jumps and drops. its plenty enough for me, if i do switch to a totem , would i actually feel the advantage of 40mm vs 32mm stanchion?

[motochick]

YES!!!!! My trail bike has a Rev up front and feels like a wet noodle compared to the Totem. And yes, they do look huge, even in person! I have ridden a Fox 36 and can feel the difference in stiffness, but then I am used to my 50mm Zokes on my moto bike.

You got that bit wrong

Bigger diameter is stiffer, but not stronger, all else being equal.

That most forks that sports 40mm stanchions most likely also are stronger, is a different matter.
