It wasn't even the lightest C1 version, I think it was 19.x kg. The C1 is 18 something kg.
Had just finished some time on my 2023 wild with carbon frame (23kg)

I'm a little depressed at how nimble it felt with only a few kg less weight. Yeah it has much less battery. I suppose it's mostly (but not all) in the lighter SX motor (+0.8kg), lighter 400wh battery..(+1.6kg) the wild has 750wh.

The depreciation is worse than a Bentley on e-mtbs otherwise I'd be investigating a trade in.
Can I go down to 500wh? or is 625wh the only down-step. 400wh is impossible, right.

Actually not really sure how it gets down below 20kg with just the obvious 2.4kg battery+motor saving..
How does 23kg turn into 18.1 kg ? that's 4.9kg less so 2.5kg in mystery weight loss..
