I had a look before I got my bike and most parts look the same with a better paint. Even the whole Rival 1 group is just 50 grams lighter than Apex 1 hydro.

It’s not the groupset weight that I mean. There’s barely room for improvement on shifters and mechs. The frame will be significant, I’ve no experience with apex 11 speed but on 10 speed, apex to rival/force/red was a mega jump in terms of shifting. I’ve only had Rival 22 and Red 22 which are both as good functionally.

I’d have preferred the alu one, 725 will probably be heavier. That said, Rival is a nice step up from apex usually
