I'm considering picking up a Spank Spoon 35 bar for my Giant Reign E+1. I'm curious whether anyone has ridden with them before and if so, how did they find them in terms of vibration dampening, stiffness, and ride comfort, and their overall strength/longevity?

I use their pedals which I have found to be good quality and well designed......not their bars however but their kit seems good. ( I use Deity bars)

I currently have a set of spank spoon high rise bars. Needed a riser to sit more upright as I have core issues. They do the job for me on a varied mix of terrain and for me they're more 'comfortable' than the original bars on my Whyte e160.

I’m also considering Spank Vibracore, but wasn’t aware of carbon‘s dampening qualities. Can someone elaborate on that and reccomended a brand/type?
Carbon alledgedy dampens trail vibrations. i don't think it does having used many over 18 years. they do snap, though.
Spank vibrocore is recommended, 4.9 stars everywhere. often sold out though.

I have carbon bars on a rigid bike, its the enve branded very expensive designed to be flexy, costed $140. Its more flexible than the aluminum, and did help a little in handling the rigid carbon fork, but as per vibration and small impacts, a beefy front tyre with low pressure is much more effective.
