I know most extreme guys are known to ride pretty "stock" bikes but it seems to me it's a discipline where saving weight on the bike could really help.
Lot of people don’t want carbon in Mtb components
I’ve seen enough snapped carbon cranks. Ain’t want any of that! Low BB’s are bad enough
I’ve bent plenty of MX bars too...not proud of it cause it usually was painful
Elastic deformation versus permanent yield ie 'bending' are different.
Think of springs.
If im understanding this correctly, they flex the same as a regular fatbar(contrary to the marketing) and require more force to actually break.
So what youre paying for is a lighter bar that will bend the same as the regular fatbar.
I won't pay 250 € for a handlebar, but I'm always in favour of new technology!

Here's my problem with them.
1. Can't use any other mount than renthal. (I have xtrig)
2. If you bend them on the weekend and don't have another set spare you can't run down to the closest store and pickup whatever they have in stock be it fat bar, twinwall, renthal, pro taper, tag, Mika whaterver, and continue your day or weekend. You have to have this bar specifically if they don't have it your done.
I'm sure this same issue was brought up when they first increased handlebar size, so obviously it can be worked out over time
I would be looking at turning up simple split aluminium bushings to reduce to the 31.80 size.
2. Keep your old clamps in your toolbox.
I could bend a lot of these before reaching $3000, just my opinion. Change is good.
