But what's the point on having a light adventure bike?

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?

Still, I don't get people spending loads on money on a lightweight carbon frame that will get massive tires, disc brakes, bags, dynamo, mudguards, etc. Of the 14 kg bike you may get a 13 kg bike, hardly a hill climb bike

Again, the point isn't the weight of the carbon bike but the ride of it, not everyone is content with a bicycle that's slow to handle and felt sluggish to ride.

13kg is a staggering amount, more like 10 and a half.
