Light bicycle wheels (240 hubs) 1390g on my scale

For the blur cc 22 is possible but on the c it's going to be tough.

Blur

$5549 11.88kg / 26.18lbs
$6599 11.65kg / 25.69lbs
$7849USD 10.65kg / 23.49lbs
$9799USD 10.39kg / 22.91lbs
$12099USD 10.23kg / 22.56lbs

for an N+1 beater bike like in the description I am going to assume the guy is going to want the cheaper bike so closer to 25lbs after he does some mods.

My 2023 Lux CFR is 10.12 kg 22.31 lbs with Vecnum XC dropper + XPedo X-Force 8Ti pedals + bottle cage. Almost stock, however changed the bulky 2.4 Maxxis tires to 2.25 Schwalbes (-150g), however added my old Quarq power meter (+119g). Okay, SID SL is not a trail fork but Canyon factory racers sometimes also use Fox34 with this new Lux CFR frame, so this one could be a good trail bike around 23 lbs with a SID 35mm or Fox 34. (Geometry is almost the same like the Blur)
It's very cabable even with 2.25 tires and SID SL 100mm though, tested on a few local demanding trails. ;)
