Easton EA90 Stem

Yes. The stem features Easton's Distributed Stress Technology, which is specifically engineered to reduce clamping pressure and protect carbon bars from damage, making it a safe choice for both carbon and alloy setups.

3D forging allows Easton to create a stem that is both lightweight and exceptionally stiff. By shaping the metal under high pressure, the grain structure remains intact, resulting in a stronger component that handles the torque of aggressive road and XC riding better than standard machining.

The Top Lock design simplifies the installation process by ensuring the top bolts are fully tightened before you secure the bottom bolts. This creates a secure, gap-free connection that evenly distributes clamping force across the handlebar.

The EA90 is designed for a standard 28.6mm (1 1/8-inch) steerer tube, which is the industry standard for the vast majority of modern road and cross-country mountain bikes.

While it is optimized for road and XC disciplines, the EA90's focus on stiffness and stress distribution makes it a capable option for gravel riding as well, provided the 120mm length and 7-degree angle align with your bike fit requirements.
