fastkid Posted November 30, 2013 Report Posted November 30, 2013 Didn't know wether to post this in here or general, figured the lightest guys would be the drag racers. Just want a general topic on the lightest components available for a banshee, and what the lightest ready to run banshees you've ever heard of were. Ever a 199lb bike? I like hearing the creativity people put into shedding precious pounds. Ps... Anyone have a weight of hauler vs extreme vs ripper (triple buffed if possible). Quote
fappy'97 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Posted November 30, 2013 I remember reading a thread long long ago of a guy that built an aluminum frame, it was sub-200lbs. Quote
n2otoofast4u Posted November 30, 2013 Report Posted November 30, 2013 Good luck. Guys that are REALLY concerned about weight are pretty tight lipped about it. I will say you will need to think outside the boxa far as materials go if you are going to get to the weights of the top contenders. Quote
fastkid Posted November 30, 2013 Author Report Posted November 30, 2013 Yeah I understand. Just mainly wanted to hear what y'all are sitting at for weight, and my paddle question. But a general subject would be nice for other to reference to for tips or what not. Quote
joshb Posted November 30, 2013 Report Posted November 30, 2013 Seems like a lot of guys in the north west have ti chassis lately Quote
fastkid Posted November 30, 2013 Author Report Posted November 30, 2013 Any pics, they running lsr? Quote
n2otoofast4u Posted November 30, 2013 Report Posted November 30, 2013 If you want to be light, use some Ti. Ti helps but isn't the only thing to get the weight off Quote
Coupelx Posted November 30, 2013 Report Posted November 30, 2013 Turn the heads down and drill them fuckers out! Quote
Nieskes Posted November 30, 2013 Report Posted November 30, 2013 If you want to be light, use some Ti.Texas Instruments? Quote
Bad one ton Posted November 30, 2013 Report Posted November 30, 2013 Helium in the tires. And strip all the unneeded parts off. TON! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Deadbeat Posted November 30, 2013 Report Posted November 30, 2013 I remember reading a thread long long ago of a guy that built an aluminum frame, it was sub-200lbs. how much does Sand Hustler weigh? Quote
SlowerThanYou Posted November 30, 2013 Report Posted November 30, 2013 Jason Menz's is a good example of a lightweight quad. While there may be some lighter, this one is supposed to be 220 lbs. Add the 100 lb. jockey to that & you should get the point Quote
Deadbeat Posted November 30, 2013 Report Posted November 30, 2013 wow! ive seen some sparse bikes on here but that is up there, looks like chain the trimmed cases at some point lol Quote
