I just bought used Supercaliber and want some 1-piece carbon bar-stem combo for it.
Any proven solutions from reputable chinese company?
No aliexpress please (no warranty and questionable QC)..
Or better to go for something like Syncros?

That syncros looks like it has a built in top cap for the internal cable routing. That's about a 56mm upper bearing. The Trek uses a ~41mm? It won't look great - not sure how it'd work. This might be the fix https://r2-bike.com/SCOTT-Ahead-Cap-and ... -Stem-Unit (or similar kit)
Have a look at Pro's Superlight stem for the weight or Syntace Flatforce for the drop ....and whatever bar makes sense. You can save about 40gr going with a 35mm bar, but then you just add that to back to the stem. You're probably going to get the most cost effective solution out of the Trek bar.

Sorry mate I forgot to mention it must be bar-stem one piece combo, mostly for look and stiffness. Weight is not so important but it would be nice to shave few grams off.
Supercaliber Gen1 has externally routed housings so I will not bother with internal routing options.

Bontrager combo seems to be as good value and weight as you can expect without paying exotic money.
They seem to review as being very stiff which has been noted as a negative, but if that is what you are after then they could wourk for you

Thank you both, i had a look.
Bontrager would match the bike better obviously but bike ahead look good too.
I have also found Syncros Hixon IC SL in sale, but I don't like the top cap garmin mount system.
Botreger front mount looks much better
