Yep, they've pared their race DH bikes down to a measly 15kg."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0

If they pedalled up hills they could lose more.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

=6.81kg's
Under UCI rules we can't race bikes that are under 6.8kg's. How do you get an MTB to stay together at that weight or are they just disposable?
Quote from your link:
"Interestingly though, Jacy Shumilak, Hill's mechanic admitted that DH bikes can get too light and that 'somewhere around the 38.5lb' mark was just right."
So The Panzer is only about 1lb over ideal race weight

Seem some tricks on the race cicrcuit, one hit race wonder machines. Seals taken out of the bearings, superlight one use stems, holes drilled into freehub bodies. But of course they have to be covered in the sponsors paint...0
