I don't have the number written for sure.
Thanks, but isn't that just 14% stiffer? I don't expect the dimensions to add double the stiffness, but comparing bars and numbers with adjustment options is a cluster of confusion with nothing straightforward. What I really don't understand is the Hotchkis numbers if the JBR numbers are correct., and back to a similar, but narrower CS bar.

Exactly what I was going to say. Corksport website says "Two endlink attachment points to change the stiffness between 114% stiffer than stock, or 180% stiffer. " The numbers you just gave @Spencer@CorkSport; would indicate it is either 14% (or 80%) stiffer, or to put it another way 114/180% of the stock stiffness.
