With the Heller Bloodhound, weight savings was paramount. The buyer wanted a bike that was light enough to maneuver on gravel but still heavy duty enough to take on snow drifts. 

By the end of the project, the customized Heller had dropped ten pounds, weighing in at 26 lbs. 

Upgrades included:

• DT Swiss Big Ride wheelset

• Schwalbe Jumbo Jim tubeless tires
       Tubeless conversion

• Sram XO1 1x11 drivetrain

• Raceface Cinch crankset with anodized chainring
