If you're willing to switch to Look Keo, these weigh 235g for the pair. They even have Xpedo pedals that weigh less. I'm currently using these on 2 of my road bikes.

Xpedo (aka Wellgo's performance brand), also has their Thrust carbon pedals, but they cost significantly more, but weigh 210g.

I myself have found only a few third-party lightweight options for SPD-SL. Even though Shimano pedals are reliable, Look KEO seems to be a better choice for cost-conscious weight savings.

But, here are the four options I found:

Exustar E-PR18 CKTI (Titanium axle, carbon-reinforced nylon body) - 246g - 126 USD https://www.amazon.com/Exustar-E-PR18CKTI-Road-Clipless-Pedal/dp/B00LOA0BTU

Exustar E-PR18 STTI (Titanium axle, nylon body) - 256g - 100 USD https://www.amazon.com/Exustar-E-PR18STTI-Road-Clipless-Pedal/dp/B00LOA0BYU

Wellgo R358 (Steel axle, carbon-reinforced body) - 243g - 55 USD https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804199087759.html

Rockbros LP-R21 (Steel axle, nylon body) - 262g - 40 USD https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832644654245.html

If you want to save weight, you go with Time pedals. Otherwise, just get used Dura-Ace. Still light and will outlive any Aliexpress special pedal IMO

Agreed, for pedals you really have to pick 2 out of 3 for lightweight, inexpensive, and durable. Because of how many moving parts they have, saving weight is not so simple.

It’s so clearly a LARP of an aero bike.

Xpedo pedals pair up nicely with Goldix cranksets!  ;D

Xpedo's road pedal is called the Thrust, so...

However their pedals are really nice. The Thrust 8 Ti  (stated 180g per pair, mine were UNDER 170g) and the Thrust SL (~165g) are both lighter than the Time XPro 15, while also using lighter cleats that offer better adjustment. I would avoid the SL and get the 8 series as the elastomer is prone to squeaking. The wear parts and service kits are also a lot cheaper than offerings from Look and Time and given Xpedo is the upmarket brand of Wellgo, access to parts is pretty good.

The Thrust NXS (220g) is also a really good budget option, but I would probably step up to the Thrust 8 CR for the slightly better materials at the $100 price point.

Those Thrust pedal shapes reminded me of my Assioma. Indeed, Xpedo is where Favero outsource their Assioma pedal structures.

Are they also available for SPD SL?

Rally the pair 217 and Not only one, Like on the Photo?

The pair, if you look at the picture carefully, you see two pedals being weighted.
