The weight is also about 18 and 21 inches above the ground, not just at ground level, when discussing those heavy DID rims. The top of the wheel weighs as much as the bottom of the wheel.

I would posit that the twin tube is a bit lighter than the old square section frame, just by design. But it might just be a lower CoG with the new frame. Hard to say without doing some weights and angle testing (not me).
