Claimed weights are a starting point, not a measurement. Brands weigh the smallest size, unpainted or without hardware, and the number on the website rarely matches what lands on your scale. So I weigh everything that comes through my garage. This page collects all of it in one place, and I add to it every time something new goes on the scale.
All weights below are mine, measured on my own scale, unless a row says otherwise.

2023 Cannondale Habit LT frameset
The Habit LT uses the same frame as the standard Habit. The LT gets its extra travel from a different shock. The stock builds come with RockShox, but I went with a Fox Float X because it’s been a great shock for me and I found a good deal on one. The 210 x 55mm shock gives the Habit 140mm of rear travel, which is what makes it an LT.
| Part | Weight |
|---|---|
| Frame | 2,800 g |
| Fox Float X Factory, 210 x 55mm | 483 g |
| Shock hardware | 22 g |
| Rear axle | 43 g |
| Seat clamp | 15 g |
| Total frameset | 3,363 g |
2022 Fox 36 Factory Grip 2, 29" 150mm
This fork went on the Habit LT build. I’d been borrowing the 160mm Fox 36 from my Stumpjumper EVO, and I could have dropped it to 150mm with a new air shaft (about $75 plus Fox fluid). Instead I found this one new on eBay, never installed and with the steerer still uncut, for $525. That was about $580 after tax and shipping, and selling the other fork with the Stumpjumper EVO frame covered most of it.
| Part | Weight |
|---|---|
| Fox 36 Factory Grip 2, 29", 150mm, 44mm offset (uncut) | 2,076 g |
| Fox thru axle | 116 g |
| Total | 2,196 g |
Does fork travel change the weight? Not in any meaningful way. On a Fox 36, the lowers, stanchions, crown and steerer are the same at every travel. The only difference is the air shaft, and the weight difference between air shafts is negligible. Don’t pick a shorter-travel fork to save weight.
Is the 2022 fork still worth it next to the 2023? The main change for 2023 was the crown, which overlaps the steerer more to reduce creaking and saves about 20 g. On a fork that’s close to 2,200 g with the axle, I wouldn’t pay extra for that.
