Mhm. Klein Stratum 90 handlebars: 90 grams
Or...alternatively
Iko Carbon: 95 grams

All from the very early 90's, IIRC.

so taking heed of advice from some of you; my scenario is that I’ve swapped to Magura brakes and XT thumb shifters; the bars on my Kona Explosif have been cut so short that I can’t get the new set up back into them. The bars are called Kona 165, so I imagine they are 165 grams. They feel light enough to me in their chopped down state so anything just below 165grams considered I guess

What's your current cut down length.
A nice set of Zoom or Uno (basically Kalloy/HL/other name of people who made most bars under many brands and OEM) will be great.
Or anything made frome Easton EA50 or EA70 if going posh.
A set of Ritchey ForceLite's are the mid range do anything bars. Go Pro... if you're a tart/weenie (I'd go pro ;-))

Cut down length is a shaving under 50cm
