[Anumiki1]

no i got one ligther :)



[cedricclamaran]

@komdankut you are wrong. that bike weights 13,50kg on the floor, down the hill or even under the water.

[Kamerak73]

How did you managed to fit the XTR cranks on that frame? Which BB did u used?

[2394098234509]

Nope. Gwin's is 26.

[josh22245]

it would be like so squirmy to ride

[yallayallayogurt]

but will it blend??



[seeker712]

I know a Santa-Cruz V-10 which weight's 13.45kg!

[andrewmtbfreak]

my bike is lighter than yours, and it can go down hills.

[PureAwesome63]

Nice bike but I can't see it being any good for dh at that weight. I don't think I'd go under 36lbs for any dh bike.

[disorderlyconduct97]

What is your rear cassette, how many speeds is it and how much $ was it?

[bergrud]

you would probolby get it lighter with sram xo dh cranks and chainguard. And gear that would be better from xo... And yeah boxxer`s lighter thant fox 40. but the no chain guard thing is just stupid... And whats the pedals (really look like the new specialized 10mm comming in 2013? )

[JumperCammey]

Im prbally right by saying the xtr cranks are about 28 lbs of the weight :/

[xConverttheillusionx]

The Boxxer up front is half the weight...

[dhstube]

xtr cranks?

how?

[TheFreakoutteam]

all mountain parts, 160mm (cross country)brakes etc... not a real good doh bike!!

[appa609]

Isn't the lightest DH bike just an AM bike?

[ThePhiltastic]

@appa609 dude it's a trek session it is a downhill bike

[EnglertRacing96]

i could break that. ill stick with the beefy foes from pasadena ca.

[PIERS212]

doode, its on XC stuff so of course it will be light, but will it be any good at DH?

[PIERS212]

GET OUT.

[aymin1000]

All you did is pull the scale to like 50lbs and then just set it to zero.... :)

[flippy0450]

clean!!!

[SuperBigboy1985]

Yeah, you are right......the stock Voltage fr 10 is around 15 kg.

[boggybigpants]

U need weight for stability.never stay on ur line Anyone over 10 stone would soon trash it.

[hobblyjig]

@boggybigpants "10 stone" ?

[CLACKERSRULES]

iron horse ftw

[mcmx125cc]

dry weight haha

[alextroch]

that front rotor looked pretty small

[SuperBigboy1985]

Well that's really not so strange......... the most expensive Scott Voltage has 9 kg stock.

[senhordasempadas]

@SuperBigboy1985 don't think so, bud

[BikinDan95]

You don't want to have a light downhill bike. You will have no control and it will have terrible handling. And another thing u don't put a xc crank set on a dh bike u are asking for a snapped spindle.

[GloryOfTheKing]

@BikinDan95 Fabien Barel uses xtr crank on his mondraker summum.

no control?let's try a light dh bike and then you can speak

[BikinDan95]

@GloryOfTheKing ya but arent xtr ment for cross country a light downhill bike means that the parts may malfunction and of fail and two the bike will be all over the place on handling its like ridding a cross country bike with only 4 inch step up down a double black diamond yes u can do it but u will just kill ur bike

[OutspokinBicycles]

so lite.... soooooooo fragile.

[S2Bchallenger]

@OutspokinBicycles

definetly not so fragile...I love my little light baby <3 xD

mine is arround 18kg with fox 40s

[nosymetry]

hoooommoooo

[mtbconor]

how so light

[mtbconor]

is that a 88 or a 8

[Hectic1991]

@mtbconor It's an 88

[mtbconor]

how is it so light

[tlinski]

how did you get the xtr to fit a 83mm bb?

[MonsterAGtomekk]

@tlinski With another shell.

the shell only needs to fix with Shimano cranks ;)

[mtbconor]

i have one not that one but

[mtbconor]

i have one



[mtbconor]

is there any changes

[ninokrtanjek]

Nice Trek Session 88

[jorjekskee20]

i think i've read about this in a forum... awesome bike! Boxxer really is lighter than a Fox. I think this is not fake... But actually even if this bike weighs 36lb or so. I still love this Trek Session 88 - my dream bike, "as of now" ^^

[smetseverts]

size S small really help, 180 mm front disk, a bit too small and no bash guard under LG1

[kroenenFTS]

that's no bike for hucking, it's for going fast on wc tracks..

got a session88, too, sooo sick !!

[mofahoin]

lol fake or whatever the lightest dh bike is made from mondraker ( ca. 15 kg)

trek session 88 dh 2010 : ca. 17-18 kg

[ExVideoProductionDu]

@mofahoin my 88 is 16,5kg! you 17-18kg is just the standard!

[burtonboy977]

very impressive, but its all just a weight to strength to $ ratio, i wouldent go huck a 40 ft with a bike that light.

my point, you could get carbon fiber xc components and call it a dh bike but its not strong enough

[ckooi88]

insanely light! how he managed that?
