I've just managed to drop my S-Works Levo SL off the bike rack and broken the end of the bar and grip ☹
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience of the Renthal Fatbar Carbon Lite over the Specialized FACT carbon bar that comes as standard. I'm thinking of swapping them over...

Any thoughts?

Its not possible to know unless you can find out the type and modulus of the carbon that is used, the type of epoxy used, the layup and forming process. All carbon is susceptable to breakage.....it can be light and stiff but is always brittle and will suffer catostrophic failure if it recieves an impact. Both are fit for purpose as a handlebar....both will likely break in the same circumstances, or if they do not could suffer hidden damage which will fail without warning at a later time.
