Using carbon fiber is saving on the order of 1 or 2 lbs though, not 25.

50 pounds is a full suspension eMTB. I think most commuters like this are in the 30-35 pound range.

I wouldn't be surprised if the total savings from carbon fiber on this bike is 4+ pounds. They use carbon everywhere, frame fork, seat post, wheels, handlebars... even the fenders.
