Easton EC70 SL

The carbon layup in the EC70 SL is specifically engineered to dampen high-frequency road vibrations. You will notice a smoother feel on rough pavement or chip-seal roads, which helps reduce hand and arm fatigue over longer rides.

Compact drop geometry features a shallower drop and shorter reach compared to traditional bars. This makes it much easier to transition between the hoods and the drops, allowing you to stay in a more comfortable, aerodynamic position for longer periods without straining your back or neck.

No, the EC70 SL utilizes external cable routing. While this means the cables will be visible along the bar, it makes installation and maintenance significantly easier and faster compared to internal routing systems.

The 4-degree flare is subtle and designed to provide a slightly wider, more stable stance when you are in the drops. It offers a bit more wrist clearance and control during descents or sprints without feeling overly wide or awkward.

While the EC70 SL is primarily designed for road cycling, its carbon construction and compact shape make it capable for light gravel or mixed-surface riding. However, if you are planning on aggressive, technical gravel racing, you might prefer a bar with a wider flare and more vibration-dampening features.

The EC70 SL requires a standard 31.8 mm stem clamp diameter. This is the most common size for modern road bikes, but you should double-check your current stem specifications before purchasing.
