I was amazed how light the bike was without the suspension fork, under 28lbs.

The Fx2 is 25.6lbs and the Fx3 is 24.05lbs.


I'm not sure what the weight of the respective Giant Escape's are, but they are probably very similar and cheaper than their Fx equivalents.


There is even a disc brake version of the Giant Escape that is still cheaper than the Fx3.
