DT Swiss 420SL VS XT Wheelset

[Dubber88]

Good day,

 

Weight of 420SL's( +- Three Stan's cups Sealent in each tire) :

Front - 1800g : Monorail 2.1, Specialized Sealed Bearing Hub

Back - 2650g : Crossmark 2.25, Sram 370 Cassette, Shimano Hub M525

 

Weight of XT's( Little sealent left ) :

Front - 1800g : Hutchinson 2.0 ; XT Hub

Back - 2200g : Hutchinson 2.0; XT Cassette ; XT Hub

 

Total difference of 450g.

 

 

Wich set is supposed to be the lightest ?

On which set must I invest to make lighter?

Which weelset is the lightest without wheels and cassette?

How can I reduce the weight of the SL's ?

Any other comments?
