From memory, did your Deviate have coil boingers and thicker casing tyres on it though?My highlander was 17kg. Pretty porky for a trail bike. maybe yours must have some hidden drillium or your early production frame had a lighter lay up or something.
The Tranny frame probably carries a few hundred extra grams, yeah - but at least @Tubbsy you'll know it's built sturdy and should be a good companion for a long time to come. I'm not all that convinced that frame weight is felt all that much either while riding to be honest. Tyre/rim rotational mass, yeah. Wheel/cassette/derailleur weight, effect the suspension - a little bit. But frame weight, meh. That's a good real-world weight for a trail-bike IMO.
