yea i dunno about the weight i think mine is round 19 last time i weighed it. This pic is from when it was stock though ive changed a whole bunch of parts. Ive got Boxxer Races, Sram X-0 running gear, Funn bars and stem, New rear wheelset and getting Juicy 7s soon. Theyre a beast of a bike def recommend it, theyre not too bad at the jumps either, ive hit up the biggest set at my locals on it which are fair sized and i ride it down at the skatey very rarely but i can still 270 and 3 tap it. Theyre pretty strong, i hit a tree in one of my race runs like 3 months after i got this bike and put a fat dent in the bottom of the down tube, but yea it still rides fine and that was like year and a half ago. The forks that come on it are pretty good (Marzocchi 888VF) but theres no external adjustments (ie compression and rebound) which was a let down and the only reason why i got some Boxxers. But yea its a solid bike that can do a bit of everything and it has a neutral feel to it, and its specced with some pretty decent parts. Hope that helps good luck mate
