I just wish there were color choices other than blue. Can't help you with individual weights. Maybe you could get that from UDC.
There seems to be a widespread view that the KH's are lighter than Nimbus.

But, in fact, the KH's tend to be slightly heavier.

On unicycle.co.uk-

24" nimbus is listed as 6.7 kg and the KH is 6.9 kg

29" nimbus is 6 kg and 29" KH is 6.45 kg
http://www.unicycle.co.uk/shop/shopd...?catalogid=940

The KH may have a lighter aluminium frame, but it's obviously got extra weight elsewhere.

The KH is a beautiful machine- I've got a KH 29 myself, but I'm always seeing posts saying that KH's are lighter than Nimbus's, and, it's just not true.
