hey guys

i managed to weigh my 2011 meta 6 today and was really surprised how heavy it was just a smidge under 40lbs,no wonder i am struggling to ride it uphill!!!!!!!!

i was just wondering what all your meta 6s weigh in at,and what is your main riding,as i use mine for a bit of everything xc,singletrack and downhill,but would like to hear from you guys do you think that is really to heavy or is it fine and i just need to work on my fitness.

i know the meta 6 really is more downhill than anything else but i love it and dont want to change it,what is an achievable figure i could get it down too just to make them uphills a bit easier.

what is the current spec ?

[colorcorsa]

halo sas 36 spoke on hope pro 2s with minions 2.35
hope tech x2 180 and 160 hope rotors
sram xo
joplin with remote and sdg bel air saddle
raceface diabolus double chainring with bashguard and stinger
easton flat boy pedals
marzocchi bomber 55 ata
renthal duo stem and renthal fat bars
hope headset and bb
as you can see it is probably built more towards dh but thats how i bought it,where should i start to lose some of that weight or am i likely to get it any less without compromising strength.

[jimbo]

What size frame is it ?

[colorcorsa]

medium 2011

May I be the first to suggest new scales  

[colorcorsa]

really why??

[iain1775]

I imagine that build is closer to 35-36lbs max poss a bit less
Wheels and poss forks maybe a bit on the porky side but rest ain't bad, there is nothing that stands out as overly heavy it's a sensible build with decent quality kit, no way is it 40lbs
How at you weighing it, what type of scales?

[colorcorsa]

not sure what scales they were was round a mates house and he had them hanging off his bike stand,they were not digital scales,but it defo read just under 40 lbs,maybe i need to invest in some park tool scales and try again.

Try it on your bathroom scales.

[andyfreeride]

That does sound on the heavy side, my supreme DH is just over 40lbs

Last time i weighed my 6 im sure it was around the 36lb mark(roughly)

[colorcorsa]

weighed it on my bathroom scales today 36.5lbs seems more like it from what you guys are saying!!!

[Steve P]

I bet it feels lighter already
36 spoke wheels, Joplin, Diabolus, Bombers etc.
Not the lightest but probably suit your style.

[colorcorsa]

yeah it does steve ; but what do you reckon about that weight for an all mountain bike,as i am finding myself riding more singletrack etc than i am downhill,and having been looking around at other all mountain bikes,like the lappiere etc all seem to be under 30lbs.

[iain1775]

They are manufacturers weights though, a small frame w no pedals and very rarely actually accirate
