Weight Weenies

Does anyone know the weight of these Bars & Stem, preferably the 42cm handlebars and the 100mm Stem.

I've heard figures of 220g to 300g for the bars,
and 150g to 200g for the Stem.

I was looking for a more specific number.
(I'm not convinced by the weights listed in on the Listings page, as some of the products listed, I have weighed are no where close to the figures quoted here).

Thanks...

Interestingly the Listings has the stem @ 187g for a 110mm
and the bars come in @ 248g for a 44cm
I thought these figures might be nonsense...

I'm starting to think that some of the figures listed are actually supplied by manufacturers??

I was thinking of changing over to a EC90 bar and EC90 stem, and was trying to figure out if there would be significant weight saving.

EC90 bars are 205g (42cm)
EC90 stem is 130g (100mm)

Try Bontrager race XXX lite VR bar and Bonty stem....

If I am right, the bar should be around 160 grams...

The problem being that you would actually have to ride with Bontrager on your bike...

For me, the ITM K-Sword is probably the most comfortable and versatile handlebar out there... I am also really loving the new Zipp SLC2.

Oh please. Bontrager makes a lot of really nice stuff, and those VR bars are definitely in that category. Very similar bend in the drops to the K-Sword bar, though they don't have the flat tops section.

K-sword is crap. i've cracked one near the shifter clamp and before that it was flexy as hell

Cheers,

Bringing up this old thread. Does anyone know the angle of the stem?

Is it -10 or?

I have been unable to find anything on the web.

I`ve had a Uniko Unika set witch is basically the same as the Sword.
My stem was a little bit sloping so my gues would also be -10
Also it was not the stiffest bar/stem I have had but the monocoque stem was the most beautiful desing ever.

I had a K-Sword stem, but it cracked. I'll look to see if I still have it somewhere.

I have a size 42 K-Sword bar that I used for a few weeks before I realized it was too small, and got a 44. It's been in my closet for years, as I was too lazy to sell it. It is a really nice bar. If anyone would like to purchase it, PM me!
