Anybody know how much more the Uly wheels weight than XBs, and if all models had heavier wheels or only later years?

Might run a search on the BB&D Uly forum.
I believe all years of the XB12X had the stronger/heavier wheels.
My '06 did and that is the first year.
They still aren't very heavy, though. compared to other brands wheels in same size.
Maybe not the XBXT models though.

I haven't seen an official source, but my understanding is the Ulysses wheels weigh a pound more each than the standard XB/1125 wheels.

All 2006-2010 XB12X and XP models had the reinforced wheels, the XT models have standard XB/1125 wheels.

In the past, I've weighed both regular XB wheels and Uly wheels. I can't find the XB weights at the moment but the Uly's were:

Front 9.46 pounds
Rear: 14.86 pounds

Those weights are for the 2-bearing wheels with the spacer installed but no pulley or rotors.

If I come across the regular XB wheels weights I'll post again.

I have some 2 bearing wheels at the house that I can weigh so you can compare. I will weigh them with bearings/spacers and without rotors or pulley.

If you don't mind Eric, that would be awesome. Thanks!

Finally weighed my XB wheels. Same setup as Oddalloy but with a different scale.

Front: 9.5 pounds
Rear: 13.6 pounds
