Yeah, the carbon frame is REALLY light for the category at 7.6lbs (3.45kg) w/shock, but the alloy frame is REALLY heavy at 10.6lbs (4.81kg) w/shock. Air shock is typically bang-on 1lbs (.45kg). Not sure how that happened. '22 Spec SJ EVO is a 1lbs diff between carbon and alloy; '22 Nukeproof Mega 29 is actually the same weight for the two materials. Both of those alloy frames are about 7.25lbs (3.3kg) w/o shock, or 2.5lbs lighter than the Spire alloy w/o shock at 9.6lbs (4.4kg). Weight isn't everything - I think the 1lbs diff on the SJ EVO is irrelevant - but 2-3lbs is pretty hard to ignore.
