I know some of you that own carbon bars you say a benefit is more hand comfort. I.e. the carbon bar helps to soak up road vibration, just like a carbon frame. So... that's one of my main reasons for upgrading from my alloy bar.
My question is... how does it change bike handling?
Notice any difference with the bar being lighter? Diff material? I have read some negs of people getting used to carbon wheels (shimming-vibration) on descents. Just didn't know if corning, descending, was diff with the carbon.
My Orbea's stock bar was the alloy version of this. I have no beefs with it... so I was just going to get the idential bar in carbon. In link below...
