Both are true, its dug in a bit into the plastic cover of the cables. The weight is a compromise (and I don't know the exact numbers but its not a carbon bar so its heavy). This is a bar $100 lighter than other aero bars (because carbon) and you're still saving 5 watts or so over a round tube handlebar.
yeah there's no way i'd ever spend the money on a carbon bar given my grad school salary and i've been using the same specialized bars for 6 years now so I'm not picky, just looking for something that works and saves a few W in the process. there also aren't a ton of bars available in 38cm, which is nice.
