I recently switched to an aluminum RaceFace Evolve bar after riding a Sette Carbon Fiber bar for 13 years and was showing signs of wear. My CF bar was great and I loved the new Evolve, but my hands would tingle and go numb after riding six miles on the Evovle. I didn’t want to drop $180 on the latest carbon fiber bar for my 13 year old Trek Fuel EX and was so pleased to find this Answer Carbon SL bar for $49. A put this Answer Carbon SL bar on the bike and rode 11 miles with no tingles or numbness. I never realized how much carbon fiber deadens vibrations to your hands. The absorpstion of trail vibrations does take a bit of the energetic spirit out of the bike feel, but definitely worth it to enjoy tingle free riding.I’m 6’2” and have a ride weight of 230 lbs and ride cross country/trial with occasional all mountain. I just purchased another Answer Carbon SL, this one will be for my wife’s 2016 Trek Lush S.
