Just weighed mine with the park tool bike scales. 7.58kg. Not bad as I am 6'3" so a big frame and am running SRM and alloy wheels. Fully loaded with lights , toolkit , pump and bottle it is 8.37kg. I thought the pros would be 7kg max
-
My MTB weighs 5.4kg :) !!!
-
Seeing as so many of them were off by roughly the same amount, I'd say your scale is a little off by roughly that amount.
-
My daily commuter is 18.3kg
-
I think heavier bikes had e-motors ;)
-
Why dont pro riders get their bikes as low as possible to the minimum weight requirement?
-
That Pinarello is nice looking!
-
Most of these cyclists have such dull personalities.
-
Does Brumotti not have a sponsor?
-
I love the riders justifying their extra 2-400g
-
so my "amateur" bike is not that heavy !
7,800 kg !
with Mavic alu wheels, 105 gear/breaks, sram red crankset
Cannondale Supersix -
Nice vidi ........ this is a real shame ........... 6.8 ...... & then bottles etc etc etc ......... if every one carries bottles ( ? ) why is this not in the allowance ? Could they not be weighted at least with bottles empty ?
-
My touring bike at minimum load is 18kg. It's sexy as fuck.
-
So my 2008 Madone with alluminum, wheels, bars, and Ultegra is pro peleton worthy! I'm at 16.9 lbs
-
From Andorra, i think GCN should do this video again, but it must be just before a mountains stage. I, beleive pros would ride lighter bikes
-
Nice to hear Matt Keenan's voice in the background!
-
Nukeproof Pulse .. around 42kg
-
urr, isn't the difference between 6.8kg and 7kg actually 200g and not 100?
-
But that neon blue/yellow Giant Propel at the end tho!
-
Wow pro cyclist's don't even know the weight of their own bikes. Shows a certain disconnection. Some seemed quite surprised upon finding out their bike is in fact heavier than what they thought.
