If you are comparing different build specs of the same bike, then weight is one of the main parameters that will differentiate them. Same applies when comparing aero vs climbing road bikes. It’s just useful to know what those weight differences actually are. I think some manufacturers are just lazy in not bothering to list specific build weights. I don’t think Giant are trying to hide anything in this case. I’m sure the TCR is competitively light, but it would be nice to compare the various build weights without having to Google it.
