Praxis lists the Zayante Carbon only with TWO chainrings and puts it at approx 620g in that configuration. The 40T ring I have is 138g so it might be safe to shave close to 100g once you factor out a ring? Looks like the new system is possibly just short of half the weight of the OEM give or take. Maybe 520-550g?

Just an observation and warning...if you do remove the OEM crankset via that anemic main crank bolt, you might want to order a new one to have on hand. That said, I obviously re-used mine after taking it off and I re-installed to proper torque specs but used 242 (blue-mid strength) Loctite quite generously. Yesterday my cranks were noisy when I was doing a lap around my neighborhood before stripping them and pulling the BB. The main crank bolt was hand tight and the crankarm came off in a super easy fashion.....just like the recall bikes suffered in '19-'20. So, if you break that nut loose, be ready to red loctite it back in or face the consequences. It's clearly a crappy design and I already feel better being rid of it.
Weighed the 170mm 40T OEM crankset at 823g without pedals.
Replaced them with Ultregra cranks and a custom 42T at 631g
