Odd how it does not give the weight of bicycles in the specs.

Odd how it does not give the weight of bicycles in the specs.
- lgvld 6y agoThis also the first thing I checked. For many it does, actually, e.g.: https://99spokes.com/bikes/trek/2021/fx-sport-carbon-4 https://99spokes.com/bikes/trek/2021/fx-sport-carbon-4 But I’m in no way a bike specialist -- maybe the weight of a bike is a feature that can be overlooked for gear of this level/price (expensive, I mean). Maybe a {1,2,...},000$ non-electric bike will always weight less than 10 kg (carbon and stuff) ? It depends on the bike purpose, of course. I’m currently looking for a bike, but more in the 200$ range... ;) This is the cheapest bike listed: https://99spokes.com/bikes/trek/2021/fx-sport-carbon-4 https://99spokes.com/bikes/trek/2021/fx-sport-carbon-4
- bryanrsmith 6y agoWe rely on spec data published by manufacturers, and unfortunately many do not specify the weight. It's also possible we're just failing to match it. If you find a bike without a weight that the manufacturer does have on their site you can use the feedback form & we'll get it fixed up.
- loeg 6y agoWeight can vary quite a bit for the same frame based on easily changed components like (1) wheels, (2) groupset (gears, pedals/cranks, brake/shift levers, that kind of thing), (3) handlebar/stem/seatpost material. I recently bought a medium-spec build of a lightweight frame bike, and could shave 2+ lbs with upgrades, if I wanted to. Not paying for those upgrades out-of-box saved me ~4800 euro up front, and the bike is 17.9 lbs instead of 16.2 lbs. Meanwhile, I could stand to lose 15 lbs myself. :-)
