Larry - define "lightweight" in a flywheel?

Wherever I look, a 22 lb to 24 lb (10kg to 11kg) flywheel is described as "lightweight". I had assumed that a 22 pound to 24 pound flywheel is similar weight to a standard or factory-fit flywheel. Anybody know?

This is the first non-standard engine/bellhousing/transmission build I've done, so ....I'm on 'L' plates here

Cheers,
Glen
