These Ti bolts are 5.1 gm and the stock flathead steel ones are 12.8 gm.

I think you can even find lighter Ti bolts but I like these because they have a very wide head.

Didn't realize you were racing this year, unless you are just out of useful mods so you're dumping silly money into the bike.

No one here would EVER do that.

But naturally, who in their right mind would buy them otherwise? You'd have to be a sick, sick man to just buy them for the hell of it...

Those look like rotor bolts, which reduce rotational mass and unsprung weight simultaneously at the front wheel.

i think that weight is inaccurate. there appears to be a hair on your scales!!  Grin

on a serious note. living in Australia, it was cheaper for me to buy ti bolts from the US than to buy stainless locally. so i too have ti caliper and rotor bolts. i spent a whole day at work throwing one around in my hand as it made me smile.

Exactly.  A much cheaper purchase than BSTs. 

Now if I could only afford these:
