looking at that lovely holmes again, smashing bike. Enjoyed the challenger parade too. I've never ridden one. What are they like compared to a holmes?

Lighter  

the holmes is heavier than the challenger but both are identical to ride.  

wonder how a dirtbike rides    that could be the next assignment

oh i love s&m's me

[OrgasmDonor]

on the little goes i've had on each i think the holmes is a tad twitchier, seems to want to be thrown about a little more where the challenger forces a straight line, the weight is irrelevent once it movin, feels light as fook once airborne, another lovely bike  shame the fookin brake scared the fook outa me in the last berm again

Lighter 

Diggler's spot on, the Challenger is a lighter version of the Dirtbike or Holmes

They're the same geometry, probably made on the same jigs

Standard Challenger 20.25"tt

Challenger XL 20.75"tt

so does anyone know what a challenger, holmes & dirtbike frames weigh

so does anyone know what a challenger, holmes & dirtbike frames weigh 

Mine are all built up, think the Holmes/Dirtbikes are around 6lbs and Challengers a touch over 5lbs

Forks make the biggest difference, Challenger forks are way lighter than pitchforks

Agree with Daz about the weight, it becomes irrelevent once it's moving

I'd stick a pair of 36's on my Dirtbike if i was gonna race it, i still haven't rode it...
