Spot Ryve 115 (basically stock 6 star XTR build): 26 lbs. w/ CB Candy pedals.
Santa Cruz Chameleon in 27.5+ mode: 31 lbs.
Santa Cruz Megatower in normal DH mode: 36 lbs. Trail mode "Enve wheels from the Ryve w/ trail tires): 34 lbs. It may gain a bit when I swap out the rear shock for a CC DB Air.
The SC bikes are custom builds from bare frames. Shimano/GX AXS drive train; I9 wheels (but not light versions); AXS dropper; both have CC Helm 1 forks.
Yeah... 30 lbs. give or take is pretty normal for the average trail bike these days. Pure XC-race FS bikes can be down in the low 20s, but they can often be less than pleasant to ride when not racing. Race hardtails can be under 20 lbs. without too much trouble. Tire choice can make a big difference.
