I'm using the ACF Pro Taper bar, which according to Kris Keefer, flexes more than the Evo. I think there is an article on his website somewhere.

He said in one of the more recent podcasts that the ACF is stiffer but has less vibration than the EVO. I agree with the stiffness comparison to the EVO. The ACF might be stiffer than the Fatbar.

I'm a goon but I am also an engineer and kind of sensitive to changes and differences. Personally I tried both on a 250 two stroke with Emig lock-ons and thin 100% gloves, so no additional padding like thick grips or winter gloves.

Besides the minor bend difference I didn't notice any harshness or vibration differences.

The difference between a fat bar and a conventional Rental is undetectable by me and I usually notice things. Back in the day when Answer dropped the Protaper I noticed it compared to their conventional bar. I can't speak to the current Protaper.

827 Bend. I’ve been waiting for months for EVO Race Team bend. Really like that bar. Got tired of waiting and ordered 827 bend Fatbars but they’re back ordered too. Like someone else said, 839 bend is very similar as well.
