    They were 290g before!

    £40 for a 40g saving is absurd, don't bother.

    My Raceface Deus bars are 210g.About the lightest you can get without going to the expense of carbon.

    Did you know for £40 you could save 150g if you haven`t already changed your cassette to something XT level,or equivalent?

    Tyre cahnge can also an easy weight saving.Saved 500g on those!

    if you went to a flat bar, KCNC do a low weight flat bar (circa 130g iirc) for around £40 (finding stock maybe a problem though)

    Control Tech also do a low weight, scandium flat bar - CRC stock these, similar weight to the KCNC but slightly dearer (£49 iirc)

    not sure width's would be ok though
