In conclusion, always check bike reviews and their components before making a purchase to make sure you don’t overpay.
Average weight for Race bikes

Overview of components
Fork material
SCULTURA 9000-E has a carbon fork, so, its weight is considerably lighter than one made out of steel. However, they cost a bit more than steel forks.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the SCULTURA 9000-E model has 700c carbon wheels. These wheels are the most used kind for road bikes in general. However, while they give you great speed and control, these wheels are not so bump-friendly.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The SCULTURA 9000-E comes with Rim brakes. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
