yes it is the same as an american eagle. I tried one and I didn't really like it. I found it rather weak in the back, compared to my scalpel...
I also didn't like how details were finished on the frame (you can see its a rather new design)
I think the weight of the frame + shock is around 2,3 kg.
I tried to find their website but can't find it.

Just my 2 cents

It seems as a Scout (italian bike) too, but I don't remember the model name.
