The review also mentions that the SmartSense kit weighs 462g, so that’s a fair chunk of the weight difference to the Canyon.
Great, from the updated information in this thread, I guess I can update the list, too:
Cannondale/Canyon
Weights: 8.9kg / 7.76kg
Difference: 1.14kg
Wheels: ~300g, advantage Canyon (1400 DiCuts @ 1477g claimed, Fulcrums @ 1760g via Velo review)
Handlebar/Stem: 150g, advantage Canyon (FSA Gossamer ~320g, stem ~110g)
SmartSense: 462g, advantage Canyon (based on Velo review measurements)
Seatpost: negligible (220g for Canyon not that light, C’Dale specs 350mm post - fairly long)
Tires: 40g (Conti GP5k likely weigh just a bit lighter than Rubinos in the same size)
= ~940g
Which gets us down to about ~200g variance between the two bikes’ claimed weights, though Velo’s review makes it sound like we should take C’dale’s claimed 8.9kg for a 56cm with a grain of salt (Velo measured their 51cm @ 8.91kg).
And wow, that SmartSense is adding a whole extra lbs to the bike.
