Unless you want to run two Poploc levers the Oneloc you have us probably the better option.
DT Swiss and Scott/Syncros are the only others I’m aware of and I couldn’t tell you the weight of them. The Oneloc is by far the best looking in my opinion.

I guess there's worse hobbies than making a bike light? Right?

Not sure on weight but I just fitted a twistloc to my wifes bike (fork only there but it can do fork and shock). She loves it over the oneloc she had before.
I'm bringing this topic a bit up.
I have a Rock Shox OneLoc https://www.sram.com/en/service/models/rm-1loc-a1 which controls the lockouts of a SID SL and SIDLuxe rear shock together. A bit bulky and also on the heavier side. I know, Scott TwinLoc could be an alternative, which has a dropper post lever option as well (would be a nice addition, mostly I'm using dropper post). https://r2-bike.com/SCOTT-Remote-Twinlo ... tpost-2019
(...apart from that, the 140+ EUR price is crazy
) Would this work with 2022 SID Ultimate SL + 2022 SIDLuxe Ultimate (non-nude / standard remote)?
2nd option: use my Vecnum universal remote for the dropper and bu DT's remote. However, I don't know whether DT Swiss' remotes like this could work with the RS fork + shock, especially when this one supports open / drive / locked states (my fork + rear shock has open / locked modes only): https://r2-bike.com/DT-SWISS-Remote-Kit ... ODL-silver
An another possibility would be, to have a lighter remote which could control the rear shock only (in this case, I would still have a separate Vecnum remote lever for the dropper) and I remove the RaceDay remote damper from the fork and install my spare 'normal' RaceDay damper, which is non-remote. The reason is simple: considering that, during the last few years I've almost never locked the fork out.
...regarding the weight weenies on the cables as well, I remember they were a cable option made from poliamid/nylon (or something similar ) but can't find it anywhere, anymore.
Is there any weight weenies option for remote cables?

if you have a dropper, then this is your perfect solution: https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/equi ... e/p/33107/
This one looks very promising, many thanks!de lars cuevas wrote: ↑Thu Nov 03, 2022 1:32 pmif you have a dropper, then this is your perfect solution: https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/equi ... e/p/33107/

Went to a non-dropper build, also changed the SIDLuxe to a non-remote one. Surprisingly easy to operate without remote (however, maybe I'll say it differently if I do mistakes time to time on a race:D).
For trail riding I wanted to go for a Reverb AXS, maybe to the new Magura Veyron but both of them are too pricey and also heavy (~650g+ with remote). Then I had the idea: what if I would go for a non-remote dropper, as an oldschool solution?
https://kssuspension.com/product/dropzone/
The 350mm long one (100mm drop) would be too short so I'll have to go for the 385mm one (125mm drop) but still, 520 grams and ~160 EUR only (instead of 600-700 EUR, compared to Veyron and Reverb AXS options). Super easy to exchange the rigid post to this kind of dropper. I have a spare saddle, so this would be an absolutely nice solution to my needs, it seems.
(Too bad there are no any weight weenie solutions out there, I mean, a non-remote version from manufacturers like BikeYoke, Vecnum, etc.)

New 2022 Spark remote looks nice, and can be mounted to brake lever. But seems hard to find.
Weight according to the manufacturer: 85g
Scott product number: 290009

Here is one(~176€), but not sure they would do shipping:

There is also Orbea Squidlock option, but does not look as nice:
