Can We Build A Sub-8KG Mountain Bike?

Can you build a mountain bike that’s lighter than a gravel bike? We kept hold of the BMC Twostroke from our One Hardtail To Rule Them All video last year to find out. Tom scoured the land for some of the lightest components he could find to try to get our little hardtail weighing less than 8kg. To put it into perspective, that’s lighter than a carbon gravel bike! Did he manage it? And what is it like to ride a mountain bike that’s close to half the weight of most people’s regular rides? What do you think?
