By increasing the outer diameter of the hollow bar, and fine-tuning the wall thickness, you can yield the same performance while reducing weight.

Rear bars must be solid due to how the end links are designed.

Front bars could be hollow but would need to be thicker to get the same results as the hollow bar.

also hotchkis wont make bars for us so I don't understand at all what your point is.
