Yeah, for/to me, offering a lifetime warranty on an MTB handlebar is kind of weird, as they're put through a lot of stress and a lot of the times, crashes. To me, since carbon is effected by use, heat, UV etc, they should definitely have a defined "X" period of time. So, are they overbuilding them so they won't break and the lighter riders are suffering for it or...?
Also, if they're adjusting the carbon layup to make the ride feel the same on the much smaller sizes, where are they taking their "avg woman" from, is she considered a fairly fit and trim woman that is within the BMI range, or are they taking into account the sad increase in avg size of most humans these days? This is honestly where, like some companies do, there needs to be a stated weight limit for the product.
