Anyone have any idea how much a stock 2023 Trance X3 weighs? assuming a M frame and 27.5 wheelset

If you have any other 2023 Trance X variant I would be interested in knowing the weight of it, in order to have a best guess of what an X3 with 27.5 wheels in M might weigh 8)

Also would love feedback from anyone that has ridden one / owns one. I'm coming from a 2012 reign on 26'' wheels, with a newer pike (35mm), bike weighs maybe 30 lbs tops, and I still absolutely love it. The trance X3 seems to be the closest to that on paper in terms of capability / playfulness. I don't want 29'' wheels, while I won't argue how fast / stable they are, I just don't appreciate the loss of nimbleness/fun factor. I'd like to be able to throw the bike around easily, learn to manual and still have some challenge when going through technical terrain

I would have been interested in the RM instinct if it was 27.5, the altitude a30 looks amazing but seems like too much bike (and too heavy) to be a playful trail bike for myself

Well I found some info calling Giant dealers, they were nice enough to pop a few bikes on scales for me:

Trance x3 large: 33.0 lbs
Trance x2 medium: 33.4 lbs

Also:
Trance x1 (internet review, size unknown): 31.3 lbs

So I'm estimating a Trance x3 medium would be in the 32-33 lb range. Still a bit on the heavy side but I'm hoping if I change out the 2.6 tires for something skinnier I'll have the type of ride I'm looking for

Fast forward to weighing the bike myself:

2023 Trance X3 M, swapped out 2.6 tires for 2.5s (exo, TR) and tubeless, deore cassette upgraded to XT, oneup alum pedals.

34 lbs 13 oz on a park scale hanging from wheel

I think all the previous weights I found were probably based on weighing the bike from the top tube, in this position it's impossible for the seat not to contact the scale probably messing up the readings... Also probably plastic stock pedals or no pedals
