It's just as much about the build as it is about the material. A poorly engineered carbon fibre frame can be heavier than a well engineered aluminum frame. But, if both frames are made equally well, then the Carbon fibre frame should be lighter.

What one is lighter in weight carbon fiber or aluminum if put on a car as a spoiler?
Carbon fiber would be lighter than the same structural rigidity in aluminum
How light is carbon fiber?
Carbon fiber has a typical density of 1.750 grams per cubic centimeter, equals 1750 kilograms per cubic meter, equals 1.01156 ounces per cubic inch. Carbon fiber is lighter than Aluminum given the same parameters, with regular plastics being lighter than carbon fiber but measurably weaker.
Which Is lighter carbon fiber or regular car matierial?
Carbon Fiber
Why is aluminum used for a bike frame?
It's strong enough, lighter than steel and cheaper than carbon fiber and titanium.
How can car companies get the benefit from using carbon fiber?
The key benefit of carbon fiber is its impressive strength-to-weight ratio. Beyond its advantages compared to aluminum, which we mentioned above, carbon fiber is five times lighter and 10 times stronger than typical steel.
What are the advantages of a carbon fiber hood?
The Advantages of a carbon fiber hood are that it makes the car lighter because carbon fiber is a stronger and lighter material than the material tradition car hoods are constructed from.
Is titantian better for airplanes than aluminum?
No. Aluminum is much lighter than titanium, and the lighter the aircraft, the more efficient it is. Boeing's new aircraft, the 787, is switching to carbon fiber though. This will probably be the material used in future aircraft.
What are Ferraris made of?
Carbon fiber and aluminum.
What is the difference between a carbon fiber and GRP?
Carbon fiber is lighter and stronger than GRP and it has a longer lifespan.
What is the names of the four principal materials for making arrow shafts?
They are wood, aluminum, fiberglass, carbon fiber or aluminum carbon
What materials are used to build a Lamborghini?
Carbon fiber and aluminum.
What is stronger titanium or carbon fiber?
Carbon fiber is lighter than titanium - or less dense, if you prefer to use something a bit more specific. Carbon fiber, even with resin applied to hold it in a given shape (and put on a thin plastic backing, which is often done), doesn't weigh as much as the same volume of titanium.
