Inquiring minds would like to know. That is a $15,000 CF bike
What I'm about to say will piss a lot of people off here, oh well!
The average $5,000 bike weighs about 15 pounds, but so does a $15,000 bike! So weight wise you gained nothing.
The reality is that experts note that any perceivable benefits usually peak at around $5,000, and there is not a huge difference between bikes after that.
So the difference between a $5,000 bike and a $15,000 bike is about 1% at the most!
The 2020 Tour de France winner’s bike, a Colnago V3R, costs approximately $5,000, which is fairly conservative when you think about how much a professional cyclist’s budget is.
Compare that with the average $1,200 bike sold to most people will weigh about 17 to 18 pounds, but that weight stays the same till you reach $3,000, that is due mostly to heavy low-end wheels. For $2,000 you can get a bike with Ultegra, sell the wheels, and buy better wheels, then your bike will be lighter than a $3,000 bike. A $4,000 bike will get you Dura-Ace equipped bike, but the weight still remains around 16 to 17 pounds, but again, that bike price range still gets you lower quality wheels, so selling those wheels and getting better wheels does take your weight down to 15 pounds but you spent the same money paying $4,000 and another $1000 or so for better wheels had you just spent $5,000 for a bike.
All that I said are averages and are based on road bikes only, but the formula would go into other types of bikes too, but I'm not sure of what the break-even point would be with other types of bikes. Mountain bikes may level off at some point for weight like a road bike did, but then there are wheels, like what we saw with road bikes, but there are also better suspension systems as the prices go up. But I think gravel bikes would follow a similar pattern as road bikes would.
