Carbon Mountain Bike Handlebars
Are carbon fiber handlebars worth the money?
I am thinking about purchasing this for my mountain bike. Anybody have opinions about it?
Personally, I find carbon bars to be a bit too flexy. Kind of creeps me out. But it is really a matter of taste. You can buy aluminum bars much cheaper that are almost as light, and don’t flex. Since most mountain bikes have front suspension at least, road vibration is not really an issue as it would be on a road bike. If you are riding rigid, it might be more of a concern. Also keep in mind with carbon bars that you may not be able to use bar ends, if you normally do, though some come with inserst on the ends so you can.
