2007 Shimano XTR Weights
Got an assortment of pictures of 2007 XTR products on the scale from a variety of weight forums. The weight decrease in the 07 lineup isn’t that much from the parts below. The only real part where signifigant weight is lost is with the seperate xtr brake lever.
The previous levers (XT/Deore/LX) came in at around 122g each, which makes for savings of roughly 30 grams with these new brake levers.
The front derailleur also is a bit porkier as well. The XTR shifters have seen a weight reduction. I feel in part that this is due to no gear indicator on the 07 models.
Most of the other weights for the parts are pretty close to last year’s XTR weights with the new XTR(959 esque) pedals dropping roughly 40g on the set.

Those calipers have a nice simple and clean design. It would look great on a black, silver or white bike (or any bike for that matter)
Not sure if 81~grams is heavy or light for a caliper. I looked around the weight weenies list and only found caliper only weights on older xtr calipers.

81grams is not light, but its not heavy. Keep in mind that the caliper doesn’t have any pads in there or the retention clip. I’ve had some of the 96x brakes onto a xt lever before and the weight of the caliper without pads is around 80grams.So they’re pretty much the same weight from what i’ve seen.
It Looks kinda srame´d to mee, isn´t it? o.O
