Interesting bike. I wasn't familiar with it, so I checked out the website. Since you were interested in its weight obviously, this is what the website says:

How much does this bike weigh? It’s a common question, and rightly so. But the truth is, there are no industry standards for claiming bike weights—and this leads to a lot of misinformation. Variances exist based on size, frame material, finish and hardware. And as bikes get lighter, these differences become more critical. At Giant, we believe the only way to truly know the weight of any particular bike is to find out for yourself at your local retailer.

It's kind of a, uh, odd response given what Brompton, Tern, and many others are willing to say: at least give a weight range so that consumers know what they're working with.
