@btjenki: redrook said "Competitiveness isn't really a defining factor of any bikes category"? You said "Weight is absolutely a factor for those looking to buy a XC bike to race and be competitive on." So what? That doesn't mean that a heavy xc bike isn't an xc bike. A shitty DH bike is still a DH bike. A heavy XC bike is still an XC bike. Go tell Chromag or Stif or Stanton or that their XC bikes aren't XC bikes because they're heavy. Weight is not a defining characteristic of any bike category. You get heavy and light bikes in all categories of bike.
