Can I use the Cougar FL4 with mechanical shifters?

Yes — Di2 junction routing is an additional feature, not a requirement. The bar works perfectly with mechanical Shimano, SRAM, or Campagnolo groupsets.

Does carbon really absorb road vibration better than alloy?

Yes, to a measurable degree. Carbon fibre layup can be engineered for compliance, and most riders report reduced hand fatigue on long rides versus alloy. That said, tyre pressure and saddle position have a larger overall effect on comfort.

What stem is compatible with the 31.8mm clamp?

Any modern road stem with a 31.8mm (OS) clamp is compatible — this is the current industry standard used by Shimano, FSA, Ritchey, and most others. Check your current stem clamp diameter before ordering.
