Recently moving from Manitoba, I knew I would have to go against some of my weight weenie tendencies for this bike in order to stand up to the aggressive XC riding/racing of BC. Swapping a high post for a dropper, and bumping up to a 120mm fork gets the job done, while still keeping the bike under 24lbs.
Grips: ESI Chunky
Shifters: XT M8100
Brakes: XT M8100 2-Piston
Front: Vittoria Barzo 2.35
Rear: Vittoria Barzo/Mezcal 2.35

Additional Info
For XC racing the TR32 rims’s are the natural choice in the NOBL lineup. I went with straight pull DT240 EXP hubs and CX-Ray spokes to keep the weight as low as possible. They are super light coming out at 1350 grams, but built to handle chasing KOM’s up as well as down the mountain.
