^Nice Todd. Here's pics of the beast that I never bring to Maui for the winter, maybe next year.
Sorry, having issues posting from my phone so you gotta click the links. DH weight is 31.5lb as seen on the scale. That's with 2.7" tires and a biggish seat so another 3/4lb could come off and still be totally DH worthy. I'm told it's the lightest DH bike with all DH parts as no one who's seen it has seen a lighter bike that didn't cut a corner and use something you wouldn't want to put a season of downhilling on. I rode and raced it all last season like this with no mechanicals or flats. During non-resort season I put on some spare 2.5" EXO tires, a smaller chainring, and dropper post and it gets just under 30lb. I've used it for 25-30mi trail rides in that configuration.

man, after reading all these weights, i think my bike is still one of the top for being most heavy. haha. as someone else mentioned, i am actually surprised with the weights of most of the bikes, a lot heavier than i expected.

anyway, last time i weighed out my bike, it was a smidgen under 49lbs. EEK! it sure does feel solid on the trails though.

2007 Norco Atomik Frame w/ several upgrades. Raceface bar/crank set, Marzocchi 888 fork, other minor mods.

Bike looks really good man! I had a 2009 Atomik and that bike weighed 42.7 lbs. But it rode like a Caddy on the chop, and that's all that mattered. =)

Absolutely awesome buddy, it's so stable at speed, and air time is play time :0) it seems like an heavy bike but I've just come off the C/Dale Jekyll which was only 28lbs so I'm still getting used to the extra weight but once your on and flicking it about it's nice and balanced and doesn't feel that heavy.

Theses pics are with the upgrades
