Those tires could be over 600 grams each, according to the internet. Those wheels are almost certainly heavy. For a bike like that, who cares? It's not like you're doing climbing rides on it.
Having said that, a strong climbing friend dropped a bunch of us in the mountains on his 28 pound Atlantis.
