I got the 100mm travel with the Sram XX SL Eagle when it was on sale. It weighs 22.73 pounds with pedals (Time pedals). I also replaced the race face cockpit. Haven't cut the steer tube yet or cables etc so maybe a little room to get lighter. No dropper seat post either. I had top end canyon lux before this. The cervelo rides great. Rear shock is plush but responsive. About a month of riding in and it's been enjoyable. I wouldn't have bought it without that sale to be honest. Glad I did now.
size Large btw
I bought the Eagle Gx 120mm version. I was about to do some upgrades to my Specialized Rockhopper but then I saw this bike with a nice price tag… so I just upgraded to it. 😅
It ride well. She likes to climb and for my surprised she’s good in downhill too. I think for $3,400 it’s a steal.
Just ride and enjoy. Take care guys!
How much does the GX build weigh?
@@jlthomas8 I haven’t weighed it get but for make a comparison my friend has a BMC four stroke LT and The Cervelo is way more lighter than his BMC. Both are Large Frame.
@@jlthomas8 The 120 GX build without pedals and no dropper weights 25.82 lbs.
Keep the videos coming; their great! Super honest views
Appreciate it!
Been waiting for this. Planning to build one but in Khaki moss which i think is a better color. Good thing our lbs have one in stock
They needed a Cervelo branded MTB for their road bike team members that compete in XC.
Yeah exactly this - XC is just getting more and more popular, and all the roadies want to get muddy. But yeah, the jumbo visma guys for example, need a bike to do XC on!
love these videos :)
These days it's hard to weight weenie bikes. Hardtails that are high 9kgs are now considered "feathery light. 5 years ago, a sub 8kg 29,er build was still very doable, with decent off road capability.
What is the best xc bike you have ridden.?
The epic 8 with flight attendant
Thanks
What size is the Ridgid reaming tool that you use? I see that they make one that goes to 11/2 and one that goes to 2 inches?
I think the bigger one? Honestly I don’t remember
The reason it is so heavy because the frame is much heavier than they advertise. I weighed mine and it was 2030g with axle, shock and hardware no collar. They state complete frame and shock is 1715g. Do need to account for the brake mount and UDH hanger as well if you are not going the transmission route so about 2080 all said and done with no collar. An old Epic Evo size L is 1860 with all frame items including collar…….
Yea I don’t believe it’s 1715 grams for a second. The bike should be lighter then my new epic with flight attendant but it’s a lb heavier
hard to beat Specialized frame weights!
First. Epic 🎉
Yes we need a ride review on the 120mm version.
Would I be able to fit a 38T chainring on one of these?
I think so
Root juice, well me as a PC tech see it a bit different 🤣
Such a disappointment they screwed up with their hardtail dated geometry, on the other size the ZFS-5 is an underrated XC bike! A bit of an improved geometry compared to the Blur TR, really nice bike! Best deal around right now!
I see your point, but disagree. I put a 120mm fork on the hardtail and it’s great! If this was your only bike I could see what you’re saying. But I have other bikes for down country and prefer the HT for just a fast hardcore spin. So this old vs new is so subjective and should describe if you only have one bike etc..
I thought y’all were in cali for real!
Naw Indiana lol
@@bicyclestationon a different note. What’s your impression on the zipp hi tops?!
czcams.com/video/eLvoUYP0GNY/video.html
Lighter frame than the S-Works Epic and much much cheaper
It’s way heavier than my sworks epic tho. And it shouldn’t be. My epic has flight attendant.
Could you weigh the khaki colored ZFS frame you have in stock? I've been enjoying the content.
I almost bought a frameset and did a build, but decided to hold out for the Epic 8 instead. This bike looks kinda boring, and doesnt excite me very much, but it has very good reviews, and seems to be an awesome bike, at a pretty awesome price. But it doesnt say s-works :(
Yep that’s exactly my thoughts on it. It’s just not exciting me in an ocean of XC bikes that all look the same.
@@bicyclestation Yeah, exactly. I had the same reaction to the new Yeti as well. Basically the Cervelo, yeti and Santa cruz all look the same. Epic 8 is at least a bit more exiting, and feels like the bike has been designed around the flight attendant so. Thats the one I chose
I’m interested in the yeti out of all three of the bikes with the same suspension design I think just because it looks the coolest
@@bicyclestation I agree
@@Doggeppi think the bc40 still looks the best out of this new crop hands down.
"Zed" FS-5.
Promo SM
I wish you’d just build the freakin bike…
We did?
You ride and sell bikes and now you think you know more about about making bikes than the manufacturer? Lol! Brands like Cervelo is well known now because they know what they're doing. If you already have a name, you don't destroy it with stupid product. Now, If the bike comes with it, you better use it. 😊
I’m not understanding what your saying
Santa Cruz is Overrated.
