They weight about 1.8kg apparently, which isnt massively lighter than a t-pro, but they ride "lighter" as they are shorter and more flicky. Dont let the shortness put you off, as it doesnt actualy feel short, i didnt notice much difference from my echo team which was 1030 and my monty which is 995. Its all about the head angle, which by the way makes front wheel moves a hell of a lot easier.
