That's the one.

Answers most "is it strong enough" questions.

I am running deity mohawk carbon bars on my bike. They take away alot of the tiny vibrations you get and also I dont experience hand pain/fatigue as I did with alu bars.

Also they deity bars have a lifetime crash replacement plan.

Going back the Carbon vs Alu video. you can hear the carbon inside the frame cracking. When would you stop and consider it busted? when it fails or at the same point the Alu fails.

 

The problem is that you don't know this point on the trail.
