Hello i looked for a new handle bar for my MTB
I found a handlebar from FSA "COMET ALLOY 35 RISER 15 HANDLEBAR" that is made from aluminiun and they claim that it weight only 220 gram

Do you think its weight is correct or a mistake ?

Maybe...35mm carbon bars can reach 130-140g even from non tuning manufacturers (Pro) so this doesn´t look impossible.

pretty unlikely if you see the weights for the 31.8 comet bars both over 300g
