No idea what the KCNC weighs, but the lightest I know is the Deda 215 shallow, with 215g in the smallest width.
Bikes: Raw Ti, 650b flatbar CX
KCNC scandium in 44cm 223g
Hi,
If you are not opposed to buying new or NOS, there used to be several bars from 3t that were under 200gr in 42cm width. That said, the reason nobody makes these anymore is because when carbon came out, it was stronger, lighter and stiffer. Aluminum that thin is also just as fragile as carbon, so there is no real durability advantage anymore either. Do yourself a favor and buy carbon, or if you're set on aluminum, buy something a bit more reliable, like the deda 215s or some easton ea90.
Good luck,
Stefano

I have both the Syntace 7075 and the KCNC Force Scandium (all 40 cm)
The KCNC weighed all of 209 grams, and it's pretty nice, but not as nice as the Syntace, which just feels a little more stable, and fits me that little bit better, for a 25 gram weight penalty.

Are you basing the Deda weigh on actual bars you have, or the manufacturer. Sure, the "215" name is supposed to indicate the weight, but I've never seen a listing below approximately 230 grams on this site or any other. My 215 shallows weigh that (232 g).
Like most things Deda, not what they say they weigh. but nice bars and quite light weight.
i also had the 3t prima 199 in 42cm, i buy it for 30$ on ebay

Dreamweight of the Deda handlebar or have you actually seen it on a scale? I had one in smallest size, 40 c-c, 42 dedasize and it was 223 or a bit more if I remember correct.
