Weight | What is the weight of the bike? It’s a classic and important question. There is no standard in the bike industry that allows comparing the weights of bikes from one brand to another. This very often leads to incorrect information. The differences depend on sizes, materials used, finishes, elements included or not in the weight evaluation... We consider that the only way to assess the weight of a bike is simply to try it. |
