I"m looking into getting fsa grav carbon dh bars, mostly for freeride/am/dh/dj and was wondering if anyone thought that they are just gonna break vs alloy? neways, let me know what you think of those bars, if i'm gonna do drops and such is it a stupid idea?
Personally, handlebars are probably the last place I want carbon on a DH bike. I understand carbon can be stronger than any aluminum bar but the thing that scares me is that carbon won't bend, it'll just snap. Where as most aluminum bars will bend before they break, to at least give you a heads up.
