Light is relative though. My Niner is 20 lb and that's considered light for a gravel bike.

That's about what mine weighs also. An RLT9 RDO is carbon fiber and about 1/2 lb lighter, same geometery. I was thinking about upgrading to the carbon version, but with the minimal weight difference I couldn't justify the cost, couldn't even rationalize it!
