If you mean the one they did in conjunction with bike rumor, I just checked it out. OneUp's carbon bar is in the top 30th percentile of stiffest bars, but also their favourite, partly for ride compliance. So, yet again, testing static deflection and calling it compliance did not exactly correlate with real world riding comfort.
I don't dispute their conclusion - I love OneUp's carbon bar, it may be my fave - but you'd never pick it out from their stiffness chart and conclude it's going to be one of the most compliant in real world use. So, fun that they did it, but not overly useful data if measuring ride feel was the goal.
