Which handlebar transfers the least vibration to your hands.I want a strong set but the least vibration. By the way i'm runnin Hellbents now.Thanks
Nothing does a better job than a carbon fiber bar, but I don't trust them for DH.Originally posted by GravityFreakTJ

ehhh i wouldnt run a cf dh bar
CF golf clubs and hockey sticks are built an entierly diferentl way than bike bars..... they are designed to flex alot, carbon bars are not. also, go wack the shaft of your golf club on a rock and then continue golfing with it, see how long it lasts.Originally posted by MikeD

if you're serious about dampening vibrations, I vote for a new stem. That magnesium stem from easton (the bronze colored one) (can't think of the name), is supposed to be excellent at damping vibrations, but hard on your wallet. I don't like the idea of composites, for all the reasons listed above. They can be great, but if you can't afford to replace your bars every year then I would stick with something else, like protapers (i like).
MG60DH is the name of it, just looked it up at go-ride. 145$ though. You could always try thicker grips, too. Handlebars are a good place NOT to f.ck around....
Dude, those bronze colored ones were defective. I had to send mine in for warranty replacement. That Dow coating Easton used was the problem. My stem started pitting, around the bolt holes, right before my very eyes. Damn thing started to look like a bad piece of swiss cheese.Originally posted by Sandwich

Yeah, seriously, they're just handlebars. For real vibration damping, ride a velodrome...Originally posted by Jm_
magnesium ...etc...
