Oops, I just realized the OP has a Fat Bike.
I swapped the stock Al bar on my Fat Bike for a CF one shortly after getting it, so I can’t really compare the ride difference.
One advantage I have read about is that CF does not conduct heat nearly as efficiently as Al, so in the winter the grips are not as cold.
To be honest, there are probably better ways to invest $170 in your bike (tires, likely) other than a CF bar just for the hell of it. If you find you want a new bar for fit reasons (like wider or a different sweep) then it can be worth considering.
Edit: OK, now I see that bike comes with pretty decent tires, Those might already be what you want. Maybe save for a more winter or summer specific set.
