It's the 24" and it should be lightest one in the world. It weighs less than half of an original 24" Rollomatic ES (not Light). It's weighing 780 gram (1lb 11.514oz?). Nothing about the sizes that they will be available in.

Videos already on youtube. Mastermind7864 "50cc saw shootout". My 2153 beat the 550 and 261 the first go around, and then in Oct beat a jonsered 2253 and 261cm. All ported by Randy.

To bad all I have for Jonsered is my TSC no pro saw there
When I bought all my Jonsereds- I didn't have a dealer anywhere around. TL was still logging and hadn't become a dealer. Mdavlee (Mike) would have to chime in but I believe he orig bought the 2153 in KY, VA, or WV (I cant remember). The 2171 I bought from McLaren (Paul) I think he bought it up north somewhere after an extensive search for that saw. The 2188 I bought from Like2Surf in California. I have no idea where he bought that saw at. Randy worked the deal for me. Anyways, no reason to buy a saw at TSC. You have access to TL Terry Landrum (Wicked Work Saw) in TN and then Spike60 up North.

I was at dinner with a Stihl "High up" back in the summer and he told me that Carbon Fiber was going to be the new bar material. Completely forgot about that night lol

Only available as a special limited edition. I think there'd be a market for a normal (non carbon) ES light in 25". The 25" weighs a tonne. I've got the 28" ES light and it balances neutral on a 441, same as a 20" standard. Real pleasure to use, and a very usable bar size. It is very durable, stands up to extreme punishment and the rails are wearing well with hardly any dressing required. It's my favourite saw/bar combo for crane work.
I've also got the 36" ES lite on a 660 and it balances ok. Not as nice as the 28" does on a 441, it's nose heavy but it's a big improvement over a standard 36" bar. I think the 32" would be a neutral balance bar on a 660. For the amount of life and wear you get out of them, ES lite bars are great value for people who use their saws daily.

Fully agree with the above.

Fixed it for you!
I don't quite like the word "detuned" in this context though, as the top ends are differently made from the outset, to produce less rpm and power than the slightly smaller counterparts - not really detuned.

My new ms362 has the new rolematic bar went out yesterday downed a 70 year old pecan me my buddy my ms 180 / 261 / 362 made a big firewood pile now to kiln dry it and bundle it. We got 8 trees more to go.
Stihl working hard
Is it Friday yet
I wonder if it was a runaway success whether stihl would consider putting these carbon fibre bars all the way through there range I know price could be a factor but it would be a nice option
