First Look: Race Face's New Next SL Bars Are Lighter & More Compliant - Pond Beaver 2021
@GBeard: With the RaceFace, yes. Maybe different layup? However, the Spank Vibrocore’s are not identical at all. The 35 has 20mm more rise compared to its 31.8 counterpart. Higher rise bars typically have much more vertical compliance. There’s probably many variables that make a bar compliant/stiff, not just the diameter. Aesthetically, a 35mm bar, comfortable or not, makes most fork stanchions look like noodles. I’ve tried many bars and the reality is that most carbon bars and most 35mm bars make my teeth rattle they’re so uncomfortably stiff. IMO, the OneUp is the most comfortable carbon bar and the Spank Vibrocore 31.8 is the most comfortable aluminum bar.

Randoms Day 1 - Core Bike Show 2020
Yep there's no logic in it whatsoever and if they're doing it for asthetics they have an awful taste as it makes every fork stanchion look like a noodle.

Field Test: Affordable Trail Bikes - Canyon Spectral AL vs Ibis Ripmo AF
Jack's Cycle in Chilliwack has Ripmo AF's in stock too. I'd encourage to purchase as local as possible, but if you can't find what you're looking for we aren't too far from Vancouver.
