I heard of this in 92 grams fro the bikehub store: http://www.bikehubstore.com/category-s/116.htm Anything lighter?

It says 57g for a chro-moly set. That is steel if you didn't know. The KCNC Z6 is 65g and highly regarded for a steel skewer.

You best don't focus just on light but on skewers that also work in real world situations.
There are dozens of topics about skewers here.

I use both the KCNC Z6 and the Bikehubstore HollowTech chromo.
I like the BHS better. Bigger handle and end screw, easier to manipulate. And the cam fastens the wheels better IMO.

I have some Zipp Aero skewers, nicely made, good combination of light weight and holding power.
I was afraid not to get Shimano but these work fine.
