It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

They shave 3kg (6.61 pounds) off the Pro frames, putting them at 27kg (59.5 pounds) instead of 30kg (66.1 pounds).

How did they achieve that? 6.6lbs off the frame is pretty significant. Is it less robust, or are better (lighter) materials being used?

And 60lbs is LOL! That's the weight without any front or rear rack!

For reference, my Portola is 59 lbs, folds, and comes with a rear rack that supports 120 lbs.

I think it weights about 62 or so if you add a front rack lol
