Light / lightest 29er hardtail frames
Moderator: Moderator Team
I'm not sure about the gram weight, but the niner scandium air9 and the giant XTC 29'er frame both are pretty similar in weight. right at 3.1 lbs I believe.

BikeRadar reports, and I can verify, the Fisher Superfly weighs in at 1.3kg (2.9lb)
My 2010 SS frame actually came in a little lighter but I wasn't surprised given the lack of cable bosses (weighed without the slider hardware)

niner carbon air9 is rumoured to be sub 3lb, although I haven't seen an actual weight.
For anything alloy, without EBB or sliders you're looking at about 1300-1400g.
Cannondale flash 29er would be very light too, I imagine.

The aluminum 29ers are more in the range of 1600-1800 depending on the size. The Fisher, Specialized, and Cannondale are all starting at 1200g in the smaller sizes, and up from there.
I don't recall the weight of the Niner frame but they are in production now. I suspect they're a little heavier due to the essentric BB.
Scott is rumored to be releasing "the lightest 29er frame ever".

yesterday i received a mail from on one 'bout that 29er carbon ht frame.
Very cheap, but it's a 456, that isn't the good base to build a race 29er HT, or
is it?
Edit: just read the mail again, frame should weigh around 1500gr
