Vado SL 5.0 versus Vado SL 2 6.0 Carbon - thoughts on upgrading

[Nubnub]

more than a little confused! and interesting that they didn’t call it an s-works

but it’s a cool thought experiment - how light could make the new vado and still have a fully functioning, rideable bike. and the answer is 30lb

Looks like the answer for less weight was remove the lights and swap the wire bead Hemisphere 47's for narrower rims and foldable narrower tires.

well, I’m guessing a lot more of the savings come from the carbon rims, lighter groupset, carbon cockpit, etc! but yes, the tires too!
