Good question. Peter from CarbonSpeed (who's on this forum petercycles@foxmail.com) sent me a frame where the QR were 60g, it's the lowest i've seen. You could ask him, i guess. I assume my scale is correct. Ususally they're more like 80-90g.
Maybe Aliexpress? I haven't looked myself but if someone finds a link, i could be interested.
Bear in mind there are LOTS of sizes, so you'd have to be sure you're buying the exact format you need.
if you want an exotic version, i m sure weight weenies forum will have an answer for you, not sure how much you want to spend.

I got the same axles as Serge with my TT-X34 yesterday. They are about 3g heavier.
maybe they are some sort of this one here.

At least they should be quite the same weight.

I use j&l thru axles on my vb-r-168 that you can get on ebay
My stock vb axles were 79g for the set and my j&l axles are 50g
Ive attached a picture of the specs of the stock axles
i got the pinarello rear which fit perfectly and the closest they had for the front from what i found was cervelo which is 3mm shorter than the original(original is 130mm and the j&l are 127mm)
