superlight
Almost without mass
Superlight describes something extremely light in weight—lighter than what's merely light.
The term appears often in product marketing and technical contexts: superlight carbon fiber frames, superlight hiking gear.
In physics, superlight (or superluminal) can refer to speeds exceeding light, though such usage is specialized and contested.
