looking for a lightweight integrated handlebar, but dont want to pay the 600 for a gemini propus

[26inch4life]

Does anything come close for less $? i dont see a list of integrated handlebars in the parts list. There is quit a bit of difference in weight between the propus, and most of the other ones that i can find, like syncros, toseek, and others, that all weigh over 200g.

I found the same thing when looking at integrated offerings. If you can forgo the looks a Darimo bar and alloy stem can get you under 200g for around $200

They don’t really make sense ln mtb’s, my Kalloy uno with Procraft bar weighs 200g for 120€.

539 euro, not cheap but cheaper and lighter than Gemini

Is there an issue with your website? I can not find those handlebars anywhere on the site.

Robbosmans, I ended up ordering a kalloy uno stem for 31.8mm bar. I didnt realize though that my bars are 25.4 mm. They are the old Scott LFX carbon bars. They weigh only 120grams. Do you know if the uno stem comes in 25.4? I saw one on aliexpress, but it weighed almost 170 grams for a 100mm one, and it was a 35degree angle. I also looked at the procraft bar you have, but i dont want to spend $80 for a handlebar that weighs the same as the one i have now. I can get a shim spacer, but then i might be back up near the weight of my current stem, which is around 230grams. Any idea how much shims weigh? I cant find the weight on any of them.

[robbosmans]

No Kalloy uno is 31.8 only.

specialized integrated cockpit is on it's way. it was leaked with the new epic.

Okay, it's not integrated and the weight is higher than a high-end integrated cockpit like Gemini Propus (~150-170g) or the Dream Bike handlebars (~150-160g, link above) but at least relatively cheap: for example, Berg 760 + PRC 70mm costs ~250 EUR and the weight is 108g + 83g = 191g (at least mine).
FYI, Canyon's CP00008 is 333g (I have one).
Bontrager's version can be also a good compromise, it's ~215-230g and the price is half of the high-end ones. https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/equi ... m/p/35019/

it hasnt been mentioned previously, so i'll say it. some of the lighter seperate bars & stems when combined arent that stiff. if you're a lightweight non aggressive rider, riding tamer trails, or you like the flex, then it wont be an issue. if you're an aggresive, powerful rider, then truly lightweight stem & bars can be a noticeable distraction. I wouldnt say its a safety concern, just that certain areas i prefer an item to be stiffer. IE i'd happily take the 100g weight penalty for a fox 34sc, over a fox 32sc

i've tried the bikeaheadcomposites "the unit" 1 piece bar/stem & its noticeable stiffer when out of the saddle sprinting, which i vastly prefer.
if you can try before you buy, just to make sure the bar angle is correct for you

Yes, I have the procraft bar and it is noticeably stiffer than my mates Berg handlebar. That thing is really flexy
