Where are they saving all of the weight? The battery pack?
No, it's a standard Shimano battery. But there is carbon everywhere.

Even the "low end" with "only" the frame in carbon has a decent weight of 20.5kg (€5'500).

Got to be in the motor then because the Turbo Levo s-works is all carbon and kitted with top end components and still weighs over 20kg I think

This is a head scratcher. Just can’t see how they’ve shaved off almost 5kg in comparison to the s-works. I would have to see it to believe it. But if they have that’s really impressive

The S-Works is 21kg, no?

I'm also skeptical but it's clearly written "17,85kg garantiert +/- 100g".

Motor: 500g
Wheels: 50g
Tires+tubes: close to 1kg
Dropper post: 150g
Saddle: 115g
Fork: 300g

The frame is also apparently lighter but how much weights a carbon frame like this?

xtr that’s light , but won’t last long on an ebike , probably carbon rims, handlebars , stem etc , lighter tyres , already tubeless maybe ? light saddle , carbon cranks maybe soon loses 2kg compared to more normal spec . At that price you would expect that sort of spec
