Yukon, it's not heavy at all.... I'm guessing 125lbs. it's is easy to put on and take off as it separates into 3 pieces.... In my opinion, it's the best looking one out there. This model, (SE) can hold 400lbs on top .... The next model up can hold like either 1200 or 1600 .... I forget.... But mine is light compared to what you would think it weighs by looking at it.....aluminum with LineX so it doesn't pull my rear end down and doesn't make any noise going over bumps and such. Installed for two days now and been asked multiple times about it. It's a great addition.
