[Closed] Ragley Wiser Carbon, flexy?

I'm considering the 5 degree rise version on CRC. One of the reviews posted on there claims "considerable flex". I've not noticed any issues with my current Easton Monkeylites; if the Wiser bars are similar then I'd be happy. Can anyone reassure me before I hit the buy button?
TIA

I can't say I've noticed any flex, but then I'm only 11 stone and not a masher. I don't notice any flex in square taper bottom brackets either so may not be a good judge...

What I don't like is the garish lightening effect logo though. I wish I'd got the natural kevlar colour ones now. I'd also say the finish ins't as good as Monkeylites - but you get what you pay for and functionally I really like them.

Honestly I think flex is one of those things people like to bang on about because it makes them feel awesome. "Man, I must ride much harder then you lot, because this is too flexy for me". Sometimes it's real, but a lot of the time it's balls.
