Nice, keep the weights coming. Wonder if the Canyon guys might demand a round of beers for making them rebuild the seatpost(?) 😁

[@davefreeman9347]

I was about to say the same thing just sucked a load of air into that bad boy 😮😆

[@NitroHasGame]

Never hold the weight of the bike on the saddle with the dropper down! Its very bad for the dropper post. Always with the dropper up! (extented)

[@Dannyjones1]

Honestly, people need to stop obsessing with lighter weights when it comes to EMTB. If anything, the extra weight could help you. Powerful motot, big battery, heavy casing tyres and burly suspension all adds up... For the better in my opinion.

[@robertsylvain333]

amzing content! I've been trying to figure out how much theses guys bikes weight for a while now. Im in the maket for "the bst emtb"! if theres such a thing

[@nevillepretorius8948]

Very interesting video!

[@NerdsonDirtMTB]

Really cool vid.

[@rogereheadbyrne4790]

My seven year old Pro Emtb is 22.2 KG and is weighs less than a lot of todays Pro Emtbs watching this has made me feel brilliant and it's not carbon apart from the handlebars

[@pwiles1968]

Not doing too bad with my Giant Reign E+3 625 wh with Hunt eEnduro wheels DH tyres and coil conversion front and rear coming in at a little over 26kg. To be honest i don't care about the weight until i need to get over a stile or fence lol.

[@FritzPhoto]

good video Steve!

[@supraman160]

My giant reign e +1with coil shock with dt fr541wheelsdh tires, 800whr battery, over 26 kg... I stopped counting... Joined power lifting gym now its easy to handle. 😂

[@markpeterson8978]

This is very informative and entertaining, but how do these weights measure up to consumer level e-bikes? Great bit, Cheers -M

[@dadventuretv2538]

Weigh cool vid. 😂 sorry I couldn’t resist. I hope you do one on what do lightweight/midweight emtbs weigh. I also hope you do one comparing a lightweight/midweight emtb to a full power etmb but with light ones spec’d with the same heavy duty specs like 38 mm stanchion forks, DH casing tires etc you often get on full power emtbs. I have noticed that the “lightweoght” ones come with lighter weight components and would to know how much difference the components make.

[@CreamyBone]

I wish I had the money 😥

[@alanworland9478]

My new Cube is a lump with 750w battery especially getting it over a five bar gate!

[@burnx45]

I had to lift my 2020 Specialized Levo Comp with 700wh battery over a gate recently, and it was very hard. I'm a male in my 40's and I work out too and it was still difficult. I will definitely get a lighter bike next time, perhaps an Obea Rise.

[@rezenclowd3]

I am waiting for the pop-up tent support to fail. And Steve, raise the dropper before weighing!

[@ThomasSchmitzSPFC]

What Shock stroke/length is Tracey Moseley running?

[@danielantonello4088]

Would be 62.5 or 65 mm stroke. I'm running a ttx2 air on my gen 4 large frame rail, set at 62.5 mm stroke. It feels amazing.

[@KB-gu2sc]

Wander if they use inserts in setups you weighted.

[@vashon100]

Wonder vs Wander, weighed vs weighted

[@PaddyMcQueen]

I want weight, it gives you speed !

[@islandaerial3414]

Were all of the batteries full?

[@Magoo71]

Good one!

[@seakayak4425]

Ok then but are the motors reliable yet

[@lozetchells9164]

Would give my left nut for that S-Works Levo. Am toying with the idea of getting a 500Wh battery for my Levo, don't need the 700Wh I have for the vast majority of my days out

[@DiamondEyeMcGee]

Get the least expensive carbon model. Comes with the 530wh battery. Just upgrade the fork, shock drivetrain and brakes.

[@vashon100]

At least now you know how much to list it on ebay

[@avckubw938v1bnvowiqv]

why you didnt calculate each bike with same capacity? It would be fun comparison

[@ronlind1757]

Or.. calculate the weight with the batteries removed

[@fadjarroosdianto6079]

The difference is not that signifikan than the price.

[@hotchihuahua1546]

If I can lose 4.5 kilograms I would be real happy with a higher output battery ! 😊

[@Digital.Done.Right.]

Perhaps do the weigh ins without batteries? Then weigh them separately.

[@dad7720]

The weight doesn't really matter when it comes to ebikes. That's the whole point of them!!!

[@legyvanmaster]

For panorama riding I agree. But on the very technical trails - 5 kg is a lot.

[@Magoo71]

I have an 1100 Wth battery and 160 Nm torque.....mine weighs 54 lbs! Luna Cycle Apollo Enve M7 wheels and full SRAM wireless set up.

[@claudiufloroiu7957]

NEVER forcefully extend a reverb dropper... my eyes hurt.. God

[@adammccarthy2157]

Don’t weight a bike with the dropper down omg

[@prostreet9149]

It's still a 50 pound bike with no balls. No matter how you slice it ,dice it. Pay 8 to $12000 for a 50 pound bike. No, I pay half of that for a 60 pound bike. With Comparable specs, Not pertaining to motor.
