Carbon is not only about weight. It has many interesting properties like dampening, stiffness in the right direction while being lean in another.
A carbon bike could be completely different from another. It’s like hiding springs in some part of the frame.
I may hear that some people don’t like the feeling of carbon. In fact, I prefer Aluminium. But my muscles prefer carbon because it filters a lot more vibrations.
So the article is both useless and completely ill-informed.
