the thing is, crashes in cross are pretty common. sometimes they're not your fault and pretty much unavoidable.
also in the pit section, whether you're swapping bikes or flipping your bike for a quick wheel change stuff can get banged around.
if my bars ever took a hit, even if they held up it would bother me enough to mess with my race i think. there's a lot of irrational fear of cf bits out there but i think post-crash damage is a legit concern.
good luck!
