6.8#?! That has to be an error on whatever site you visited. No brands weigh their largest size so that's either a medium or one of the small frames since that's how the game is played unfortunately.
My 853 gravel frame and carbon fork, that uses the same DZB downtube(so same butting) as Niner is 400g lighter and I ride the largest size(effectively a 64cm frame). This would put the largest size niner at probably 600g heavier than my frame. Naw, that's crazy talk.
The niner frame isnt light, to be clear, but if it's really that heavy its absurd.
