dont think its 8lbs..maybe more like 4-5, that caliper looks waaaay bigger than the 1st version. when the 1st version first came out i think they claimed 6 or 7lbs dif

it seems most of the weight is saved from the rim, so couldnt u possibly have two ztl rotors, and two smaller calipers and come out with slightly better brakes with out changing the weight much if any?
Stock brakes are fine for street riding. Bit lacking for race purpose.
The weight savings is from one less rotor, one less caliper, and all the fasteners involved for said items.
