No. At the same weight as an Al bar, it should be a LOT stronger and less susceptible to fatigue failure. I see all sorts of threads about light Al bars bending and carbon bars breaking - plus I'm in the market for new bars since I just found out that Al bars should be replaced every three or four years, which for me means 10 or 11 years ago! Then there is the debate over whether or not carbon dampens vibrations.

So why not Ti to solve these problems? It's not as cheap as Al, but needs replacing less often. About the same as Carbon but not as brittle. So in the long run maybe cheaper than either. The only down side I see is flex, but if it doesn't flex so much as to really affect the handling but does flex enough to dampen vibrations............
