The Crosstrail is a MTB;it's a 29er. The stock tires are fairly smooth,but it can take knobbies. It's heavier than my BBU,which has a Headshok suspension fork. The rigid Bad Boys and Treks should weigh about what my Coda and Point Reyes weigh,which would put them in the low to mid 20lbs range. BTW,after weighing my bikes and doing a previous test ride on a Stumpjumper,I would guess the Stumpjumper around 30lbs or so.
