I got a look at it on the scales. Sub 23lbs! Just under by a gram or two, but still. Stock build kits should be right at 27lbs from Niner when thses finally come on line later in the summer. di: No sweat. I got a look at it on the scales. Sub 23lbs!

Cloxxki: No word on what was the motivation there. I do know, as you do, that G2 was made possible for 26"ers by a relationship between Fisher and Manitou, but perhaps with the recent sale to Hayes, that surely was in the works months and months ago, Trek/Fisher may have made the switch to Fox instead. Just my guess. I'll ask around to see what I can find out. di: The brakes are Maguras, I believe, as that’s where the bike was rolled in from after hving the brakes bled, according to Chris Sugai of Niner.

Any word how the Manitou forks came to be? Their own initiative, or like Fox due to a (perhaps even failed) OEM deal? Thanks for the text and pics!
