EMBN just released a video about bike weight and is it important. In this video there’s an interview with Whyte bikes and it shows the new prototype for that bike with the display.

one of the best EMBM videos I have seen. Although mentioned, maybe one factor not given much importance ( other than tyres and wheels) is just how strong the bike is to withstand the fiercest beatings.....and the occasional mishap!
Personally I do not need to lift the bike other than into the back of my van or up onto a workstand, so overall dead weight is not important to me...................and I want a strong, accident resistant bike with full power............so it all comes down to how the bike rides. I ride Whyte bikes and the low centre of balance of their bikes, back as far as 2020, has been really noticeable to me, especially compared to other emtbs I have owned that are top heavy. I prefer the stability of a heavier bike as opposed to the liveliness ( or lack of control!) of a lighter bike for my specific favourite trails. That said I fully understand the more lively ride of lighter bikes suits many others. Luckily we all have choices.
