I had an alloy SJ EVO and a Carbon SJ EVO frame in front of me, Weight difference was just over 2 lbs which is pretty standard for carbon vs aluminum construction. I kept the alloy SJ EVO, and have an alloy Spire. Unfair to make a direct weight comparison as the Spire has more travel and it much burlier.
I don't think the alloy Spire is super heavy, the carbon one is just super light. Over 2 lbs lighter than a carbon Enduro frame.
