The ERA website, meanwhile, quotes 2600 for an Fe FE. I'd be curious to know if there's info like "alu frame saves XX, suspension bits ABC save YY," etc. I've done some thread searching, but not found many definitive numbers. |
The billet suspension is where the weight savings is over stock or original suspension, and other billet accessories...
