I understand that many people are struggling to find an actual weight figure for their 3t ergonova pros; a handlebar which has been in production for a good few years, and has seen some developments along the way, some for better, some for worse.
From what i gather, the bars were made from 7075 aluminium up until last year, and the 2012 version is made from 7050 aluminium, this is why the weight figures all seem a bit unpredictable because of their large variation.
Here is what i found:
2009 model - 7075: 40cm = no info, 42cm = 325g, 44cm = 282g.
2010 model - 7075: 40cm = no info, 42cm = 266g, 44cm = no info.
2011 model - 7075: 40cm = 260g , 42cm = 265g, 44cm = 288g.
2012 model - 7050: 40cm = 257g , 42cm = 277g, 44cm = no info.
Again, these figures are for the pro aluminium bar only. I identified the year of each bar by the time at which product reviews were posted, or when an online shop has sold an item as past season stock. Then i got the weights from that.
I hope this solves your dilemmas. Thanks

Sorry artray, no weight figures for the LTD bar, but I imagine you can still compare the numbers shown on as many of the websites which either sell, or review the bars.

I may have got the wrong end of the stick; so it is true that 3t have indeed not updated their website, and while they state it weighs 326g for size 42 - this is a weight taken from 2009 or earlier, so it is not to be believed. I can safely say that you can purchase a new ergonova pro bar at a weight mucvh closer to 260g than 330.

The thing that bothered me most about the Ergonova Pro was the inaccurate reach and drop measurements. My 42cm bars had a deeper drop than my FSA Wing Pro Compact, by about 8mm! Always ask the seller about weights and measurements. I have since sold mine....
Due to the urging of all the ladies...I do NOT shave my legs!
