the thing about carbon is that it does not do well with impacts. just yesterday, I finished a long descent and pulled into a gravel parking lot to wait for the rest of the group...I had one foot out of the pedals the front wheel sank into the gravel and went down. if I had carbon bars, I would not risk riding on the bars. I do have carbon bars on another bike...can't say that I notice a difference.
