yea no way this works well enough. Put on gloves or wear heated gloves. On a snowmobile they essentially have unlimited power and can get so hot it melts your gloves. Anything that will be hot enough will go through way to much energy.

Hi there bmied31! You are the first to ever question my bike weights over a decade of me geeking out on builds! Which is honestly surprising, most people probably don't believe it and move on. But I get it, I would doubt it too since every bike out there since covid seems like a porker. The "spirit of enduro" ruined trail bikes if you ask me. I built this as a XC/Trail bike that doesn't pretend to be slaying downhills. I have bigger bikes for that. I have weighed this at the shop and on a luggage scale, both were...

Haha, fair enough, sweet ride! I'd love to ride them back to back and feel the difference. Regarding Suntour...fantastic stuff once you get above their entry level. My favorite fork ever was my Auron RSC PC2 I had on my prior bike. So plush and sensitive and easy to service. Sweet ride. I did think about ditching my reverb, but if I did I'd end up going with a 210 Oneup and at that point the weight savings is minimal.

Sweet bike, but having really hard time believing that weight. I have a S4 same frame. XO Drivetrain with XX cranks, Zipp Hitop wheels, carbon intergrated bar/stem, and xc esque ground control tires and I'm in the mid 27 lb range. If I lose the pedals it just barely gets below 27 lbs. Really struggling to see where the extra 3 lbs is at. Shock and fork might be a bit lighter as I have Pike 35 and Deluxe, and heavier cassette, but unless those wheels are like 1200g which sounds sketchy as hell for something from aliexpress that would...

Sweet rig, I bet you could drop a lb with some cranks and lighter cassette. Suprising how cheap you can get nice cranks. I was able to get a XX1 8 bolt crankset (no chainring) for $120 a month ago.

another nice looking 1up knock off, probably my favorite one so far. The Saris one is a monster in terms of size.
