How much lighter is the Vala?

Vala is roughly 2kg lighter than Bullit.

For this reason I like to think Vala as a middleweight:

• Heckler SL ~19.5kg
• Vala ~21.5kg
• Bullit 23.5kg

These figures for X0 AXS RSV builds.

How is the new gen5 motor compared with the previous gen4 from Bosch in terms of power and punch ? Obviously the same specs on paper but how does it actually feels in comparison

My large weighs 47.6 lbs with pedals.

Just for perspective, my rail 9.8 carbon weighs 56 pounds. My fuel EXE carbon weighs 46 pounds. I'm looking forward to the power of the rail at closer to the weight of the fuel EXE.
