Easton EC70 AX

The EC70 AX is specifically engineered for gravel and adventure riding. It features a 16-degree flare in the drops, which provides a wider, more stable stance for technical terrain, and a unique drop shape designed to increase wrist clearance and reduce palm pressure during long rides.

Yes, the EC70 AX is fully compatible with electronic shifting systems, allowing for a clean and modern setup.

The carbon layup is designed to dampen high-frequency vibrations from rough roads and gravel surfaces. This helps reduce hand fatigue over long distances compared to aluminum bars.

No, the EC70 AX utilizes external cable routing. While this means cables will be visible, it simplifies installation and maintenance, which is often preferred for gravel bikes that see frequent service.

The flare is primarily in the drops, meaning your hoods remain in a relatively standard, ergonomic position for climbing and cruising. You get the benefit of a wider, more controlled stance when you move your hands to the drops for descents or technical sections.
