But what's the point on having a light adventure bike? You're not racing anyone so what if it does take 3 seconds more to go up a hill?
Netakure-
It’s more about how the bike feel than the weight, for some the sluggish feeling and slow handling felt like hard work.
I empathise, going for an Arkose give me a good balance of stiffness and stability, not fast but not a slouch.

Yeah, what's the point on having a bike that's less than 14kg, right?

Sounds ace to me. I mean even when camping it’s nicer if the bike if it doesn’t feel like a loaded truck. Then for shorter, quicker rides a light bike is just more enjoyable and slightly faster.
..... why am I explaining this. It’s obvious no?
