Rumor says next year, maybe...
Don't know if you fellers remember but Oregon was putting a test together for a "microlite" bar and two chains? That test kind of fell asleep but I received notification yesterday that the test is on again. Perhaps this bar will be a lightweight option?

WOW, those (his) prices seem pretty high! $100+ for a 18" bar? I was thinking $65-75 at most. I didn't see a 20" and why no .50 bars? I guess I'll start shopping.

His prices are right on par for Tsumura bars and Sugi bars are no cheaper.

Ouch. I'm not sure I'm ready to spend that much to save a few ounces.

A 24" super bar costs right around $80. LW bars are always a higher premium.

I like the other site better
New 20" Techlites show up frequently on the bay if you want one of those. I've never paid more than $45 for a new one there.

I've been running two Pro-Lites along side two Sugi-Harras on 346s' & 357s', 16" & 18". I do like the Sugi bars better, but they are no lighter and the Pro-Lites are holding up just fine.
I actually like the Windsor/Carlton speed tips over the Sugi or any Oregon bars.
I do have one 20" Tech-Lite that is lighter and has been a very good bar!

Thanks, I'll check into it. Why did they discontinue them though? Durability issues? That's what I'm afraid of.

The tips were blowing apart...i never had a problem with them but some have.

I have a 20" small mount L&T one for my 560xpg, that I bought from him, and am pretty sure he has them. They are 72dl in 3/8" and 81dl in .325.

That was when mistreared by loggers, as I understand it.
They aren't meant as pry-bars...
They're not available. I'd love to see that change.

Okay, so they're durable to a degree, but not as much as a power match?
I'd definitely be a buyer @ $45 if they really go for that. Daddy is on a budget with a new one on the way.
BTW, thanks for all the info and replies.

Nice! Been thinking a 20" small mount would be handy and I run .058 chain anyway.Small mount 20", 3/8, .058

I doubt Husky would've pulled them if there wasn't an issue

He wants $90 for the 24" solid RSN Tsumura and $117 for a Tsumura L&T 24" D009. $15 shipping to the states. It is an extra special premium to consider that I could wear out 3 Laser/Oregon/Forester bars before the Tsumura pays for itself.

Nice!! I have an 18" on my 2260
