Hybrids can be based on MTB's Or road bikes. As an example -In the UK we have the Giant SCR- the road bike that I have. There is also the Hybrid FCR. Both use the same frame- In the "Grade" within the range the bikes have similar specifications and the weight is around 21lbs for both.
For the SCR link to

For the FCR link to

Then if you really want a hybrid that is road based then follow the link to

Now who in their right mind will spend $2,000 on an 18lb hybrid. Apparantly lots as the CF. FCR1 is the bike that is in demand.
These are similar moels to the US OCR and FCR range- but I think you will have to wait a while for the CF. FCR to reach you.
