    In terms of vibration, my carbon bars have slightly less vibrations than the alloy handlebars that came with my carbon bike. But, yes, there are still vibrations on the handlebars on chip seal roads.

    Just be forewarned, that if you crash, the carbon handlebars break and do not bend like alloy/aluminum bars.

    Maybe my handlebars would be even better at blocking vibration if I had a bike like the Ruby with the Zertz inserts?

    Unless you've already tried it, I'd try running a wider tire with a bit less psi before I'd buy expensive carbon bars if your goal is to lessen road buzz.
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
