I've reviewed Renthal's excellent 35mm Fatbar aluminum where they made a lot of effort to get it to ride like their 31.8 (flex), Spank Vibrocore bars that are as stuff as aluminum bars come but damp vibration the way carbon manufacturers all claim their bars do and etc, etc, etc...
I prefer the feel (compliance) of a good alloy bar but with the number of riders I see running super stiff carbon 35mm bars with short/stiff stems I'd hazard this one piece combo isn't any stiffer.
Say the Scott Hixon against a 35mm Chromag BZA carbon bar and matching stem?
