wiehgt in frames will drop but the overall weight of the bike will stay reasonably the same for 2 reasons, 1) bikes seem to be at a good weight at the moment, around the 17-18 kilo mark, heavier and there to much to move around, lighter and the move around to much, dont stick to the ground over rough stuff and 2) overall weight will stay the same because new technology being introduced will initaly be heavier.
suspention technology will become much better, with the release of the new boxxers, other companies such as fox and marzocci will have to lift there game, and so then rockshock will lift there game and the cycle will continue.
protective equipment will (already is) becoming lighter and more flexible, check out POC for a great example. also the 661 evo range is a good example of this.
