How you have them built up and what type of weights you have going.
Thanks
Mine comes in at 28 pounds. It's built on the more durable side. I've seen 5.5's come in at the 26lb mark.

It's a small and she's asking $1200. It's in excellent shape. We'll post an ad in a couple days.

As far as the levitation, it's magic!

My Tracer. I sold it last year because my fat @$$ flexed the frame. Now that I've lost weight, I really wish I still had it.

Dirtmistress;The Spyder XVP and Spyder FRO are both 4" travel for xc and xc racing.It should be easy to get them in under 25lbs,especially the FRO(For Racing Only).I currently ride a med.5.5(5-1/2"-travel)that comes in @ 27.2lbs.- Lloyd
