I think for my setup I might do better at trying to eliminate a few kg from the riders weight first 😉 Drool-worthy build and great attention to detail.
Here you can read about my old Scott Scale hardtail build that weighed from 6,22kg including pedals. www.pinkbike.com/news/building-the-worlds-lightest-29ers.html

I've met @dangerholm in berlin few years ago with his ridiculously light spark, these light bikes are not my thing, but He is the kindest and most dedicated guy I've met out there! The research and obsession he use to reach his goals are majestic! Well done again Dangerholm!
As a mountain biker in the past and a committed road rider these days, i can really appreciate this beautiful bike. Fabulous! It would be high on my list to build sometime like this if I ever got back to the MTB.
I think this is the best one yet. Big congrats and huge thanks to show us such beauty and commitment to take lightness further every time. Now i have to go smash some trails hehe
Rockshox SID SL Ultimate fork would save you 30-40 grams..Darimo Stem, Handle bar and Seatpost will also saves you like 50 grams. SRAM X01 XG1195 Cassttee free up 30 grams.. Schwale Racing Ray and Racing Ralph Tires are actually pretty heavy...I would choose S-Works Fast Trak 2.3 tires front, and S-works Renegade 2.3 back. You'll save at least 80 grams, and tire is bigger.
Back in the good old days when Scott kept cables out of the headset and the shock in plain sight. I thought I'd own a Scott some day, but not a chance with their current design philosophy.
I recently bought light ebike Orbea Rise and with its 19 kg it is super planted in rough terrain. I started to realize, that weight is sometimes advantage for descents. All my bikes are carbon and I was allways wandering, why so many pro downhillers ride aluminium....
To be honest u sld have had a dropper post and to replace the weight u can use wireless shifters , ditch the remote lockout , it would remove the weight of cables and housing
The weight of the batteries in the wireless stuff is normally heavier than the weight of the cables and housing (especially when he’s using the super lightweight stuff), but he could probably have had a custom made dropper based off the dt swiss design that could be under 300g
A dropper honestly isn’t necessary in trail or XC, it’s great in All-mountain and Enduro, but a properly adjusted fixed post can get you down pretty much any downhill in style(as long as it isn’t a Whistler double black or pro line). And as much as weights weenies are made fun of, it is necessary to have a light bike when racing XC, racing a lighter bike on 30 miles of uphills and downhills makes a significant impact on overall time, and when racers are within 5 minutes of each other, that 1 pound extra dropper is not worth it.
Amazing bike, I like it very much. Beautiful color and I would change only two things - put the rebound adjustment back in and stronger pedals (I am 89kg). It will get lighter as tires and other components ware themselves out.😍
Lighter than my carbon Giant Defy road bike which is the top carbon model. Its is Spec to make it lightweight, upgraded Roval carbon wheels, carbon bottle cages, carbon garmin mount, carbon / ti look mtb pedals, carbon saddle, Dura ace groupset mechanical. Ive spent the total price of the stock bike just on upgrades. Weighs 8.5kg. Maybe its because im running 28mm tires hahaha :) How could you have suspension, wide range gears and wide tires / rims and still be lighter! Nice bike
My weight weenie days are somewhat in my past, but damn - this in impressive. That said, I don't think I could ever ride a bike without a dropper post again.
That’s crazy. I have a single speed track bike with no brakes and tons of carbon fiber parts and it weighs that much. I’d like to see it in person. Ferrari red with a Ferrari price tag too I’ll bet.
I had that saddle - It's made in a factory in Portugal by a brand called Gelu. I would not recommend it for xc, I rode it on my epic and it snapped on the third day, splintering and cutting my inner leg! It's a Smolke sticker on a Gelu saddle!
always thought a sub 20lbs all mountain bike would be the next evolution in the sport. i do alot of alpine riding where the bikes ends up sitting on my shoulder for long periods and the day are long with lots of vertical to climb. it would be awesome to have 5/6inch travel solid mtb that weighs under 20lbs.
When he squeezes the bottle cage "please don't break"
Yeah i saw that. He barely dare to touch it lol
It would have taken only 2 more nm of force to break it :D
Would have been hilarious if the whole bike shattered
I own one of those bottle cages and it's super sturdy I don't see it breaking with hand strength even if you were trying.
I have these and they're not prone to breaking!
"And I don t put oil on my chain to win the last 3g" 😂
And he got no sealant in tubeless tyres.

@@daswienerle3018 Nope, too heavy. Helium only.
Dangerholm is the man and this build takes his work to the next level. What a gorgeous rig.
"Weight Weeny" has a whole new meaning.
especilly when the owner is the opposite.
Pretty sure that if you pump fork and shock and tires to their max pressures it goes above 8kg
@@dronalpes9705 and that is answer to what ?
@@dronalpes9705 That's why you drain all the oil from the suspension and lock them up, and fill the tires up with helium to 120% pressure.

Drool-worthy build and great attention to detail.
Love the Ferrari Red! If you’ve got the coin, I’m sure it’d be fun to build up a bike like that. Nice work!
"We made a full suspension bike under 8 kilos"
That one little piece of mud:Im gonna end this man's whole carier
I was like, take it for a ride, weigh it again and it will be over 8kgs
I’d love to see an XC hardtail that’s under the uci road bike weight limit. If only I could afford an unno aora

Look up Dangerholm, and see his riding
Too long seat post means small frame.
@@henrythefifth9993 you know it all
That thing is lighter than my road bike...
I want to see Nino Schurter take some hot laps on this thing!
I feel like he'd request 110mm in the rear lol

Nino uses 30mm rims.
Box that thing up and send it to Sam Pilgrim.

I'd like to see this bike in action, but I doubt I won't ;)
I came here for short shorts. Very disappointed
Great job!!! And really unbelievable how light the wheelset is. I can imagine how fast this weapon is running uphill. Very nice!!!
Btw. building the super light bike, still have lockout controls on the handlebars :D
Doddy from gmbn is jealous for sure
I think he’d be more scared than jelous
AWESOME. More weight weenie build breakdowns please!!
Really impressed with the attention to details of your build. Great job!

Once again you have smashed it. Stunning build and looks fantastic in the Red
Super smooth looking. I got my pandemic xc/gravel build, an aluminum giant xtc, down to 22.9lbs. I'll trade ya.
This is a pretty good-looking bike! (I mean, he even kept the color, going raw could have saved another 200 grams)
Those Vectran spokes are insane! Used to have bullet resistant vests made with that stuff.
He's right about the spokes. I have the Enduro wheelset and it has seen some serious use in bikeparks. Still holding up strong.
very nice m8, i do like the way the front axle meets with the forks with those little teeth to lock it, titanium wires to
I usually don't care for these style of bikes but this is really impressive. Great work! Dare we ask cost?? 🤔☺️
Not really a Scott guy, but damn!
Back in the good old days when Scott kept cables out of the headset and the shock in plain sight. I thought I'd own a Scott some day, but not a chance with their current design philosophy.
Not just super light, but beautiful
I have sub 8kg Scott Spark LTD (2008). It's super fast. I can only imagine how fast could be this "niner" :) Great job!
That’s insane. Really impressed by the bike.
I'd love a mtb this light. nearly half the weight of my hardtail. Well done. I don't like wasting my time reading negative comments.
lol ,mtb these day supposed to be light , strong and cheap , nothing change still god damn expensive to be light
Very cool. Thanks Dangerholm.
Amazing build. You put much love into the bike.
That bike is so sweet, unreal weight I can’t imagine.
that's really a piece of art, just to beatiful to hit the dirt!
Now THIS is a dream build!!
Another Dangerholm build that is totally awesome.

Dangerholm, du är helt sjuk som vanligt! Grymt jobbat!
Super Fahrrad.
Leider bin ich nicht so von dem Leichtbau überzeugt.
Jedoch gefällt mir die Gestaltung.
Absolut klasse. 😎💯💥👌
Wouldn't it be cheaper to loose some weight?
He's already done that
If you've seen his legs, that's going to be a bit of an issue.
His Instagram is a museum. Beautiful bike design
For some reason I'm doubting he put a reasonable amount of sealant in the tires. No way he put 70-80ml each , hahaha.
Seeing as he didn't 'cheat' by leaving out pedals, bottle cage, GPS mount and paint, why would he skimp there.
I thought that too. He could put sealant in, ride it for a while to get it working and then drain it out of the valve stem
Its simple and beautiful. A dream bike for everyone who loves cross country.
Wow that's a very nice bike bro..mine here is so heavy, about 17 kilograms. Its a low budget mtb. Congrats for that.
This man is a true artist
the saddle is just awesome.
Legendary.
OMG Dictator Aladeen, u have yourself a goddamn light bike!
Great video. And Nice Work as allways.
That's a beauty! That saddle would give me rectal issues for sure though
Looks sick
Check out Specialized S-Works tires for super lightweight and usable race tires. Used them to success on a lot of terrain and they're VERY light.
The F1 of bikes right there.
No mention of cost or any video of it on the trail. 👎🏼
It is beautiful, I’ll give it that.
Agreed, I didn't play the video because I can mouse over the timeline and see that nobody rides it.
Mind numbingly amazing.

My weight weenie days are somewhat in my past, but damn - this in impressive.
That said, I don't think I could ever ride a bike without a dropper post again.
Surely the expander equalises the load from the stem, from the inside? Cannondale says it’s essential to line them up so the fork doesn’t snap
hey Gustav, you're the king of mtb!!!
Wow so awesome
Incredible!
Dude! Awesome! Bravo!!!
I'm pretty sure that the owner has less money now than grams on his bike...
I just grabbed a dumbbell I use. It’s 25lbs. I can’t even fathom a bike weighing 7 lbs less than that!
Brilliant Bike build.
