Seems okay.
A couple similar bars:
Cinelli Ram weighs in the 450 gram area
FSA K-wing weighs in the 250 gram area
All this great info can be found at https://weightweenies.starbike.com/li...roadhandlebars

In reality, it seems the weight of bars has much more to do with their shape than with the material their made of. The carbon k-wings weigh only about 30g less than the al wing-pro, and Deda's lightest al bar comes in at around 200g and Eastons EC90 carbon bar also comes in around 200g--not a whole lot of difference in the end in terms of weight. I think about all carbon has (in terms of bars) over al is increased stiffness, slight reduction in road vibration, and of course the all important governing bling factor!!
