my friend asked if u can cut down carbon mtb bars? would it lose the strength?

I cut my (previously) 800mm wide Easton Havoc Carbon 35mm bars down to 750mm the other day. All went fine. I used a lock on grip clamp as a guide and then filed it after.
The strength isn't affected. You're only cutting the end of, which is then covered by a lock on grip.

Some have reinforced ends, check before cutting.
Do it somewhere ventilated, wet the saw.
