There is no real average weight. It depends what the cost range is. For every range there are different weights. Also, it depends on if the bike is 1x1, hardtail rigid, fully, etc etc. For some light bikes, check out www.light-bikes.com

10lbs fork!!. If you skilful enough to ride trails without sus, you can pare that down below 700g for a full carbon Pace fork.
They do lots of other lightweight goodies as well.

10lbs fork is for doing 20 ft drops and higher...not REALLY meant for normal people haha
although I know heavy riders who use it for normal DH...they are just strong and consistent

The BMW Super-Trucker and Rubber Ducky were both 70 I believe. Might not have been but I know it was something crazy like that.

My nekkid steel rigid is 22 heaviest, 19 with the swap of a few parts\ remove luxury items.
Sacrifices: front derailler, shifter, 2 chainrings..well the 46 got the teeth ground off as a bashring. Paint. Doodads..gone.
Sub 22 lbs you only need one or two chainring.
Luxury items: bottle cage\ bottle, rear slash guard, 1 rear reflector, 1 headlamp. Maybe 1 lb.

My raleigh Talus weights in at about 28lbs, with accessories I'd say about 26lbs as sold.
For all reference it's basically an XC bike...tough as all hell too.

maelstrom: The weight is wonderful doing 40mph over babyhead sized rocks and roots it really feels like you could ride through a trainwagon... 11" travel in the front and 13" in the rear.
See the difference in size compared to a 17" stinky -> https://www.pinkbike.com/modules/phot...w&image=219369

The bottom one? Elite, but does not designate 'pro'.

Hahaha...I would love to play on your bike but my dh bike gets a lot of xc on it to. If I had a pure dh bike I would gladly use a super heavy bike...
You ride platekill? (I assume as bmx was basically made for that bike destroying area)

This is related to the weight theme:
does anyone know a site which states the weights of bikes - hardly any manufacturer sites seem to do it, only Haro in my experience. Google rearely comes up with answers either.
Thanks
