Have really enjoyed my Superlight for the past three years. The only improvement that I "need" is a carbon frame (could weigh in the 2kg range). Anyone know whether SC is considering such an animal?

You could buy an Orbea. Or buy the XC as the VPP blows the SP out of the water. There are no longer any drawbacks to the VPP design over SP.

I don't think there would be much call for a Carbon Superlight as you can get the Blurs in Carbon. The VPP is better.

I know that the carbon Blur is available; if I wanted one, I would purchase it. I THINK that the SL is a viable plarform for carbon.

They would have to call the carbon version the "Extra Super Light" me thinks.

Viable yes...but not worth it when they already make a carbon bike with a suspension design that is far, far superior.
