which, i guess, isn't really that surprising? comparing current ews bikes to wcdh, i bet weights are very close, if not heavier for some of the ews bikes. running pretty much the same wheels / tires. frames are similarly stout (that norco is using the range front end as a wcdh platform is telling). dropper posts, and full range drivetrains probably more than offset the added weight of a dc fork, etc...
would be interested to see ews race rigs on the scale. i imagine fully laden (with dh tires, cushcore, tools & spares strapped on), some guys are pushing bikes near 40lbs.
