83mm bottom bracket and one stiff bike. The bike weighed 42lbs with the Intense 4 ply tires. Not the lightest complete bike weight, but consider the tires I had, without any real weight-saving components and the bike is respectable in the weight department. The rear end was a real surprise. I did not notice one bit of flex or wiggle the entire time I had the bike. I checked pivot bolts, but nothing came loose and the more I rode, the more confident I became in what the bike could do. It would plow through rocks, but also felt quite snappy in the tight berms of Silky Johnson at SolVista.
