Deity Components Carbon 35mm handlebar, 35mm CopperHead Stem, and spacer kit. The bars have a 25mm rise and better vibration damping vs the Pro Tapers. The stem is just a nicer stem and matches the rest of the bike. Same with the spacers. Also ditched the dropper post for a Control Tech and Hope Tech post clamp. Now I just need to find the Fox DHX rear shock that I want. Love this bike, best in my stable. So far on a very slight incline I’ve hit a non GPS verified 39 mph pedaling like a crazed gerbil on crack. Definitely the fastest bike I own.

Looks great now. That will make it look better.
How do you know Deity handlebar will have better vibration dampening? Do you have any idea of how much better it will feel for vibration? Or just try it and see if you like it? (I googled the marketing blurbs on both of them.)

Experience, had carbon bars on some of my other bikes,
