Does anyone know the weight of a 2017 giant xtc 29er frame?

I'm assuming it isn't super light given the sliding dropouts but want to check it isn't a complete brick.

i heard it was somewhere around 1400ish gr so really not light at all. I heard they were releasing an advanced SL version anytime soon so it might worth the wait!

1400ish would be crazy heavy for a carbon hardtail frame. I'd definitely look elsewhere for a carbon hardtail frame.

yeah those horizontal dropouts aren't really helpful in terms of weight!
