The bare wheel weights are done without any brakes attached (apart from the integral drum on the drum brake models) and with the wheel bearings in-situ. The final drive flange has also been removed from the rear wheel for the bare weights.
Got a weight we don't have? Hit us up at the contact page and let us know.
Why care about this anyway? Reducing unsprung weight is one way of improving the bike's handling, and one of the ways we can achieve that is by using lighter wheels. It's one of the things I actually get regular questions about, so here it is.
