The bar and spare tyre gate together are way more than I could lift off the ground. Any of the Smittybilt bars I've test lifted on display were noticeably heavier than you'd expect.
For info, I think the Uneek front bar is around 47KG.
Seems you are correct, and most others who commented on the Atlas weight.
Jeepkonnection probably just understated shipping weight.

Ended up deciding on the MCC bar.
Not my Jeep, but its the same colour and same bar.
