Easton EC70 Handlebar

The flattened top profile provides a wider, more ergonomic surface area for your palms compared to traditional round bars. This helps distribute pressure more evenly, which can significantly reduce hand fatigue and discomfort during long days in the saddle.

Internal routing does require a bit more patience than external routing, especially when threading housing through the bar's exit ports. However, the EC70 is designed with clean channels to make the process manageable for most home mechanics or shop technicians.

The compact drop bend reduces the distance your hands need to travel to reach the drops, making it easier to transition between the hoods and the drops. This geometry is generally more accessible and comfortable for riders who don't want an overly aggressive, deep-drop position.

Yes. Easton uses their TaperWall composite technology to strategically reinforce the carbon layup, ensuring the bar remains stiff and responsive under power while still offering the vibration-dampening qualities carbon is known for.

These measurements are considered a standard 'compact' geometry, which works well for a wide range of rider sizes and bike fits. If you are currently using a standard compact bar, the EC70 will likely feel very familiar in terms of reach and drop.

We generally do not recommend using clip-on aero bars with carbon handlebars unless the manufacturer explicitly states they are compatible. Because the EC70 features a flattened top profile, standard aero bar clamps may not seat securely or could damage the carbon structure.
