Bike radar: choosing by “Weight”

Weight on the seatpost rarely changes handling by much, and the rating gap between the lighter and heavier units tracked here is minimal. Riders on a lightweight road bike still tend to favour the lighter option, while everyone else can pick based on other features without worrying much about this criterion.
