That’s heavy!
A big reason why I went epic Evo. I’m running Dissector/Rekon at ~27 lbs right now in large frame without many other weight savings upgrades. (could easily shave off grams with carbon wheels, new cassette, cranks, etc.)
The new SID forks are quite good IMO as well. I don’t think anyone would call them supple but they are more than adequate for most of the “downcountry” style trails.
