This is simply not true.The fact is whenever amy company says a change is an "improvement" its bull****. No company makes any change unless its to save money-if the change just happens to actually be an improvement in the eyes of the consumer that's an unexpected bonus but that rarely happens. While the frames may be lighter its pretty hard to fight the laws of physics-if you're making something lighter you're taking away mass, less mass means less rigid, more flexible...but that comes with a price. Cross the line of flexibility too much and the product isn't rigid enough to move back into place.
