Discussion forum for weight-conscious gravity racers. Post and talk about light-weight DH/4X parts, etc. I will edit this post to include all of the parts weights and resources. If you weight shit, try to put it all in one handy album. If you have a resource you think may be front-page-worthy, please include a link to your specific post (if I don't see it in time, I have no clue how to generate the specific URL). Same goes for bikechecks.
I lack exact numbers but aren't Boxxers and Totems roughly the same height, the Boxxer being lighter and with an inch more travel? Also don't see the point at the highest level of DH racing.
Yes, but the stock supreme DH was sitting at something like 45-46, specced with 888RC3 WC's etc, it appears to now be running boxxer WC's, and get this, a Van R rear shock? they say its all about reliability, i can see their point, but im sure there wilkl be a fuss.
Cutting 4 pounds off a stock Commencal from this year most likely isn't that hard. They're around 45 stock this year.....some easy changes could do it.

Take care of good shocks and the reliability will come.
