It's my first non-mtb so I have limited basis of comparison but I love it. It's smoother riding than my mtb (AL frame) which surprised me. I really have no complaints. It's 24.5 lbs according to the weigh-myself-holding-the-bike technique so it isn't super light. Supposedly the wheels are heavy so upgrading those could shed some weight if that's a concern. Being 7 lbs lighter than my old mtb, it seems light to me!
