Your initial question is totally different from your hypothetical question.

To answer your hypothetical, a lower quality carbon fork for that bike would probably weigh 850g. A high quality steel fork for that bike would probably weigh 1100g.

A high quality steel road fork can weigh 750g, but your bike isn't designed for that style fork.


Now for reality-
Your fork is heavy. I have worked on countless fx1 bikes(over 100 of em) in all 4 sizes and the forks are at least 1250g.
