Yeah. I was really surprised by the low weight and the snappy response. My scale said it weighs about 24.7lbs (crappy scale ranged from 24.2 to 25.0 on multiple attempts), even with some no-name parts and a suspension seatpost. I realize this is not an amazingly light bike, but it seems to be on par or lighter than other base models such as the Fuji Absolute, Diamondback Transit, and Trek FX. I felt that the ride was comparable to Fuji Absolute 2.0 and Giant Seek (2?) that I demo'ed. Now to get some Ergon GR2 and I'm set. 'Looking forward to my next ride!
