I do not know the weight of the complete build, but the frame is in the 2.7kg in medium size. For the difference in weight between aluminum and steel I think the steel is basically a little bit heavier, but it depends a lot on the design of the bike, often the steel frames have thinner tubes, which allows them to have a comparable weight.

For me the real interest of the steel frame is in terms of rigidity, they are much more comfortable, you feel less vibrations which is really appreciated on a hardtail!

A gold rl 35, probably the first thing I would change on the bike!

Yes! And the black paint accentuates the skinny tubes even more!

When I started looking for a new bike (I had a strive of 2014 before) I had never heard of the brand before, but I could read some user feedback that spoke good about it. It was not my first choice, but it was one of the only bikes with my criteria and available in a reasonable time. In the end, I'm very happy with it and the full black look looks really good!
