Not been around for a while so here's a really helpful answer - no idea, according to some of my friends who pick it up with one finger expecting carbon bling lightness "that's @#~*etc heavy". Others, knowing it's steely goodness, are surprised by it's (relative) lightness. Not a great one for actually weighing bikes but equipped with a triple chainset, hope hubs/mavic 719 rims, and a 100mm reba fork it seems to be reasonably weighted. (I have a 26" hardtail, roadbike and fs29er to make comparisons against if that helps).

The reason, I guess for my question, is that my build seems lighter than my similarly specked Soul (now gone).

With Flows, 2x10, Reba maxle, Reverb, Ardent F&R and crucially pedals mine weighs in at 30lbs on the nose.

My Soul in a similar guise was this weight without the Reverb ...

Just interested thats all.

They do seem to be relatively light. Think I might actually weigh mine now and see how it compares.

Yeah, perhaps "large but slimmer" is more appropriate. I like to think of it as a training aid when going up hill and additional ballast for stability when coming down.
