My poor man's Vitus is about 8'5 all in but that's pretty light in gravel numbers. Average for a decent OTP gravel biek is 9-11kg.
SRAM is lighter. 1x is lighter. Skinny tires are lighter. Tubeless is lighter, specially with big tires.
Steel is real, but weights. Racks are heavy. Disc braked bikes are heavy. Why do people bother anyways when they strap all kind of bags for a 20 mile canal pootle.

My Trek Checkpoint is 8kg (without mudguard and such) with 700 x 38mm tubed.
Gonna get 650b to drop weight and tubeless it, gravel bike are so much fun when they’re as light as a road bike.
