It's just the Hubs that make the Transition wheelsets heavy.
The 32's are lighter than the 36's.
They are great wheelsets - I would advise you to get someone to tension the wheels before you ride on them though (As you should on any machine built wheel).

2.5kg doesnt seem drastically heavy for such tough wheels.
