Does it Actually Even Matter? Carbon vs Aluminum MTB Handlebars

There are so many preconceived notions, especially when it comes to carbon so we thought it would be wise to spend a little time breaking down some of the cons and pros when it comes to picking your handlebar material. Just about all of us here at Jenson have ridden both types and see the benefits and downfalls of both types, but in the end, does it actually even matter?
