The s-works is the lightest bike I own and it's le sweet on descents. If you mean light as in WW feeble spaghetti frames then sure.. it'll feel like custard.

Thats not really what I meant. More the feeling of desending on a very light road bike.
My road bike is 6.8Kg. But stiff as granite. Before I finished it the only bike I did road decents on was a 11KG CX/commuter with heavy wheels+tyres.
There's something reasuring about having weight under you, and heavy wheels feel more stable.
Its just a feeling though. A stiff carbon frame, with a decent front end. Will feel great, once you're used to it.
