minus-squareShowroom7561@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down1·5 months ago They shave 3kg (6.61 pounds) off the Pro frames, putting them at 27kg (59.5 pounds) instead of 30kg (66.1 pounds). How did they achieve that? 6.6lbs off the frame is pretty significant. Is it less robust, or are better (lighter) materials being used? And 60lbs is LOL! That’s the weight without any front or rear rack!
