I didn't say weight-specific handlebar. I said it would be nice if there was an objective system to compare compliance between models and brands. So you could compare relative flex of a RF to a Oneup to a Chromag bar in either material. You could extrapolate from that number that the bar would get even less compliant the more you cut the bar down. That way after spending some time on a RF Next R carbon that's a \#8, you'd have a good idea of what to expect from a SixC that's a \#9 or a Oneup that's a \#7 or whatever. There is no objective way to do that currently just anecdotal suggestions.
