Hey guys i am building up a race bike for the 2008 season and was wondering is it possible to have to light of a dh bike. like somewhere around 31-34 lbs?
Everythings possible, check the home page for the SUNN that was featured yesterday.
ye i know i already know all the parts that i would get to have it around that weight but im just wondering like is there a point where your bike could be to light to use for dh racing?
As it stands it's 36.1 pounds. Before the summer a Boxxer WC should be going on (unless I wait for the 09' Dorado). If the Rock Shocks website is right for the weight of the fork I'm down to 34.8. If I could get that weight than I'd push for 34 even. That said, even now I'm worried about some parts. We'll see how the season goes.

agreed
weight = strength
true but its not like all the parts are xc or carbon fiber. ive just found the lightest downhill parts possible with no budget.
