Durability and reliability aside.
I figure the average weekend warrior/ridemonkey DH bike to weigh in right around 38-40 lbs. i may be off by a bit but that seems to be about average based on my small amount of ****s to give about weight.....so is lighter better?
If durability and reliability were not a concern would you WANT a 30lb DH bike? If so, do you think it would make you faster?
I have ridden a few lightweights and didn't like the feel of it, my tr450 with a stock build and fox 40 weighs in at about 42 lbs, I wouldn't mind being under 40, but otherwise am not too concerned with going lighter.
What say the e-riders of ridemonkey?
