THE COMPOSITES EXPERTS All carbon fiber is not created equal. There is a reason carbon fiber is commonly referred to as “composite”—it is comprised of several elements including yarns, fiber and resin. Additionally, manufacturing techniques vary wildly across the industry. Think of composites like flour, eggs and sugar. Now think of Easton’s carbon fiber like a wedding cake. Anyone can mix-up the ingredients and bake a cake. But do you want just any cake at your wedding? Professional chefs know that everything needs to be perfect to make a great cake (from the ingredients to the mixing to the timing and temperature). Easton’s industry-leading composites are a product of the best materials, the most elaborate production techniques and stringent testing. Additionally, Easton owns a leading-edge composite production facility in Tijuana, Mexico. This 65,000-square foot facility (what we call EMX) is just over the border from San Diego, California, allowing our design team to easily and routinely check production. Controlling an entire production facility allows Easton to develop new designs faster and produce much higher quality products with more innovative materials and processes than would otherwise be possible. Easton’s testing labs offer yet another competitive advantage. Our testing area occupies an entire floor of our Scotts Valley, California, headquarters as well as large spaces in a number of Easton’s other facilities. Easton’s cycling testing program benefits from the company’s work in other sports—who else has a 200-mph baseball cannon?

ROAD WHEEL TECHNOLOGY THE DETAILS THAT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
100% HAND BUILT & ACOUSTICALLY TUNED Every Easton wheel—from the entry-level EA50 to the top-tier EC90 Aero—is 100-percent hand built and acoustically tuned by Easton-trained builders. Wheel building is as much art as it is science. High, uniform spoke tension is necessary to build strong wheels that stay true. Nothing does this better than experienced human hands and ears. It’s a painstaking process. This systematic approach to precision tensioning and truing sets the standard in the industry. PREMIUM SPOKES Using only top quality spokes is critical for our high tension wheel builds. We only use premium quality stainless steel spokes from Sapim™. Most of our wheels use straight-pull spokes, and every wheel gets a specific spoke type depending on intended use: straight gauge, double butted, triple butted and bladed. The smallest technical detail— like a spoke nipple—can literally make or break a wheel. This is why Easton pays close attention to even the smallest components and design elements of our wheels, even on the entry level models. We design our own hubs, rims and nipples, and use the best components available.
THERMATEC™ ThermaTec is a proprietary brake track surface treatment that improves braking performance and reduces the effect of heat on carbon sidewalls. While most carbon wheels perform poorly under braking, Easton wheels with ThermaTec have braking consistency and modulation on par with aluminum wheels, and unsurpassed strength and durability in a carbon clincher. ThermaTec has made the EC90 SL and EC90 Aero clincher wheels the favorites of editors from Bicycling, CyclingNews, VeloNews and WIRED magazines. “The braking performance of Easton’s new EC90 SL is the best we’ve ever experienced in a carbon clincher” – Bicycling Magazine. CERAMIC BEARINGS Easton’s R4 SL hubs—utilized on all EC90 wheels and EA90 SLX wheels—roll on premium, grade-3 hybrid ceramic, sealed cartridge bearings. Ceramic bearings roll more efficiently and last longer than standard, steel bearings. This difference will keep you rolling faster for longer.
12_21_09
R4 TT FRONT HUB There’s more to aerodynamics than tall rim profiles. Our R4 TT hub—utilized on the EC90 TT (90-millimeter), EC90 TT (56-millimeter) and EA90 TT front wheels—features unique, wing-shaped end caps to improve aerodynamics. Additionally the hub flanges are closer together (effectively narrowing the frontal area). Thanks to these features the R4 TT hub’s profile is reduced by 50-percent, helping these wheels cut through wind faster with no ill effects in crosswinds. VARIABLE NIPPLE BED TECHNOLOGY This proprietary Easton process places more material where it’s needed to support spoke tension. Variable Nipple Bed Technology allows us to create an aerodynamic, deep dish rim—like the 90-millimeter-deep EC90 TT—that weighs less than some traditional box-section hoops!
12_21_09
THREADED EYELET / NIPPLE To create an airtight, tubeless seal, the EA90 RT and new EA90 XD wheels are outfitted with our patented threaded eyelet/nipple system. This revolutionary system allows the spoke to be attached to the rim without penetrating the tire bed, eliminating the need for a rim strip. The secret is the nipple, with threads on the outside which thread into the eyelet in the rim, and on the inside which thread onto the spoke. The threads are left hand on the outside of the nipple, and right hand on the inside, this allows the wheel to be trued like a normal wheel, without the need for a custom spoke or spoke wrench.
298
The EC90 SL (shown here) utilizes a 38-millimeter-deep rim profile. This rim offers an aerodynamic advantage with very little compromise in weight.
299
EC90 SL
BEST ALL-AROUND RACE WHEELSET
Leave it to Easton—the composites experts—to create the first zero compromise carbon fiber road clincher. The EC90 SL offers the very best braking performance in carbon rims. Period. We did it with the help of our exclusive ThermaTec™ brake track treatment, available only on Easton’s composite clincher wheels. ThermaTec brake track treatment provides smooth, easily-modulated braking power and reduces heat build-up under heavy braking. Of course ThermaTec is only one highlight of the EC90 SL. The 38-millimeter deep carbon rim is molded into its final shape in one process, ensuring superior strength and impact resistance. The EC90 SL is the only composite clincher rim to survive tests in our laboratory for impact and fatigue resistance as well as our brake track torture test, handling temperatures up to 500-degrees Fahrenheit. Every EC90 SL is entirely hand-built and acoustically tuned in Easton’s own factory. The tubular version of the EC90 SL takes many of the same great features and brings weight down to 1,250-grams. These wheels are strong enough to handle Spring Classics like Paris-Roubaix yet light enough to win mountain stages of the Grand Tours. The EC90 SL is the one race wheel set to have if you can have just one. Thanks to a 38-millimeter deep rim and a low spoke count, the EC90 SL strikes a perfect balance between a light climbing wheel and a set of aerodynamic TT hoops.

AERO EC90 AERO EVERYDAY RACE WHEELSET This is the ultimate, every-day aero wheel. The EC90 Aero is fast enough to win time trials, stable in windy triathlons and untouchable in long breakaways. This is the first and only zero compromise carbon fiber road clincher to feature wind-cheating aerodynamics. The EC90 Aero Clincher combines the unbeatable braking performance of Easton’s proprietary ThermaTec™ brake track (providing smooth, easily-modulated braking power) with a fiercely-fast 56-millimeter tall rim. In addition to the tall rim profile, EC90 Aero wheels feature a low spoke count (18-front; 20-rear) and hidden spoke nipples (tubular only) providing a significant, wind cheating advantage. Best of all these wheels offer dependable handling in a variety of conditions. Thanks to their depth and durability, the EC90 Aero has also become a favorite of cyclocross racers as well as classics veterans like George Hincapie (the BMC Racing Team). Sealed R4 SL hubs with alloy axles, alloy freehubs and ceramic bearings round-out the package on these top-notch race wheels. Like every Easton wheel, the EC90 Aero is entirely hand built and acoustically tuned in Easton’s own factory.

AERO EC90 TT SHARPEST IN THE QUIVER
90mm TUBULAR
The EC90 TT is the lightest 90-millimeter-deep wheelset on the market. It’s the result of our drive to create the fastest wheel possible for our sponsored road and triathlon racers. Years of engineering experience and repeated sessions at San Diego’s Low Speed Wind Tunnel have helped us create a wheelset that weighs just 1,440-grams and is unmatched in a wide range of wind conditions. The EC90 TT wheelset utilizes the deepest rims in Easton’s line (90-millimeters deep) and feature our proprietary Variable Nipple Bed technology which places material only where it’s needed to support spoke tension. The R4 TT front hub reduces frontal exposure to the wind by as much as 50-percent. Additionally the low spoke count (12-front; 16-rear) and hidden nipples enhance aerodynamic efficiency. Like every Easton wheel, the EC90 Aero is entirely hand built and acoustically tuned in Easton’s own factory.

NEW ZEALAND ADVENTURE
AN UNLIKELY CAST OF RIDERS ROAD TRIPS THROUGH NZ’S SOUTH ISLAND Normally freeriders and downhillers don’t mix. The two groups of riders have a mutual respect for each other, and they have a lot in common (on paper, at least), but normally they travel in different circles. We set out to change that this past winter by inviting Easton’s top freerider, Canadian Graham Agassiz, to ride with a few of the world’s best downhill racers in the mountain bike paradise of New Zealand. We had a motley crew of characters on our voyage, including 10time DH world champion, Frenchman Nicolas Vouilloz; world cup DH stars Sam Blenkinsop and Cameron Cole; Caleb Smith of Spoke Magazine; ace photographer Haruki Noguchi: as well as Dylan Dunkerton and Kyle Norbraten of the Coastal Crew. We hit some of the South Island’s best destinations including Nelson and Christchurch, we did some downhilling, some trail riding and built some slopestyle-sized booters. The trip was a rare opportunity to see the contrasting styles of the best riders in mountain biking. Where Blenkinsop powers and thunders down the trail, Vouilloz is light and smooth and doesn’t look like he’s going fast. Agassiz, on the other hand, pops off of everything, slides around every turn and laughs the entire time. Every rider was outside their comfort zone at some point during the trip (Aggy bonked pretty hard on a six-hour trail ride), but the riders learned a ton from each other and went their separate ways with a newfound respect. And Easton got some kick ass photos, videos and stories from the trip. You can see them for yourself at eastoncycling.com/ HAVOC35.

MOUNTAIN WHEEL TECHNOLOGY THE DETAILS THAT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.
COMPLETE OMTIMIZATION Easton designs, manufactures and sells complete wheel systems. We don’t sell just rims or hubs or other pieces for a reason: By designing an entire wheel system, we’re able to optimize each of the pieces, making for a final product that performs better than would otherwise be possible.
100% HAND BUILT AND ACOUSTICALLY TUNED Every Easton wheel—from the EA70 to the Haven Carbon—is 100-percent hand built and acoustically tuned by Eastontrained builders. Wheel building is as much art as it is science. High, uniform spoke tension is necessary to build strong wheels that stay true. Nothing does this better than experienced human hands and ears. It’s a painstaking process, but Easton’s systematic approach to precision tensioning and truing sets the standard in the industry.

EYELET / NIPPLE Easton’s tubeless Gen 5 tubeless rims—featured on EC90 XC, EA90 XC, EA70 XCT, EA90 RT, EA90 XD and Haven wheels—utilize our patented threaded eyelet and nipple system. This revolutionary system allows the spoke to be attached to the rim without penetrating the tire bed, eliminating the need for a rim strip. The secret is the nipple, with threads on the outside which thread into the eyelet in the rim, and on the inside which thread onto the spoke. The Threads on the outside of the nipple are left hand, and right hand on the inside, this allows the wheel to be trued like a normal wheel, without the need for a custom spoke or spoke wrench. CASSETTE BODY Every cassette body is machined from 7050 alloy for optimal strength. Two oversized, sealed cartridge bearings keep things rolling smoothly and a 3-pawl system contacts a 30-tooth gear ring for 12-degrees of engagement. BEARINGS We use premium grade double sealed cartridge bearings in our hubs. Why? Cartridge bearings are best for a number of reasons: The friction reducing properties of a fine sealed cartridge bearing just can’t be beat, so rolling resistance is reduced to an absolute minimum; cartridge bearings are replaceable—easily and inexpensively; and our bearings are double sealed, so contamination is virtually eliminated. Finally, we use proprietary grease formulated specifically for bicycle wheel conditions. BEARING PRELOAD ADJUSTERS Our bearing preload adjusters allow easy micro adjustment of the wheel bearing tension for a smooth spinning wheel and extended bearing life. ABC™ (Armored Ballistic Composite) is much more than a marketing gimmick. ABC is Easton’s trade name for a hybrid composite material that optimizes strength and toughness without adding weight. This advanced composite—only used in Easton’s EC90 XC and Haven Carbon wheels—is the single biggest contributor to the strength and durability of Easton wheels. Like any composite, ABC’s strength comes from its individual components—a high-end fiber called HMPE™ and a revolutionary resin dubbed MRES-B™. HMPE™ (High Modulus Polyethylene) The material of choice for military applications from assault helicopters to next-generation helmets and ultra lightweight body armor, HMPE is the strongest of the man-made fiber families. HMPE is Easton’s alternative to Aramid-class (Kevlar® and others) fibers in applications where a high strength-to-weight ratio needs to be combined with exceptional impact (ballistic and blast) strength.
308
12_21_09
MRES-B™ MRES-class resin utilizes impact-resistant components to enhance the ballistic and blast performance of the finished composite. By using MRES-B in our material and combining it with proprietary fabrication technique, Easton’s Armored Ballistic Composite (ABC) composite hybrid can achieve optimal strength and toughness with 15-20% less resin (in other words, it achieves the same durability at a lower weight).
The EC90 XC (shown here) is completely UST compatible right out of the box.
309
LIGHTEST UST EC90 XC THE WHEELSET ON DIRT The EC90 XC wheelset takes the proven durability of the EA90 XC wheels—and drops half a pound of rotating weight! At a mere 1,285 grams (26-inch), the EC90 XC is the lightest UST wheelset on the market. In fact these wheels are about 200-grams lighter than the closest UST competition. Carbon, aluminum, nothing else comes close. And this isn’t a typical “race day-only” wheelset. EC90 XC wheels features the superior impact resistance of Easton’s proprietary ABC™ (Armored Ballistic Composite) materials. It’s similar to the stuff the military uses in ultra-light body armor and other ballistic applications. Thanks in part to Armored Ballistic Composite you’ll find your wheels spinning straight and true after years of abuse. These wheels can shred rough trails all week long and then go on to win world cup XC races on the weekend. UST compatible out of the box takes the stress out of riding tubeless and the hubs are easily convertible to accommodate all of the XC/trail axle configurations.

FOR GOING BALLISTIC HAVEN CARBON BUILT The Haven Carbon is a virtually indestructible wheelset designed for rugged conditions All Mountain riding. Mount these wheels on your favorite six-inch travel bike, ride them hard, case some jumps and hit some rocks. If anything ever goes wrong, rest easy knowing that Easton backs these industry-leading wheels with an equally impressive warranty—twoyears, no-questions-asked. We started with Easton’s proprietary Armored Ballistic Composite, a material similar to the stuff used in ultra-light body armor and other military applications. (It turns out that the stresses of mountain biking aren’t too different from the ballistic impacts seen in combat.) Constructing a rim from this advanced composite significantly boosts durability and makes the Haven Carbon very resilient to impacts with rocks and other trail debris. Other highlights include UST tubeless compatibility and a generous 21-millimeter inner rim width that easily accommodates large-volume trail tires. Additionally, this wheelset is available in every axle configuration—ensuring that any All Mountain rider or super D racer can enjoy the Haven Carbon. All these features, and still, weight is an astonishingly light 1,450-grams per pair.

TORTURE TESTING
A FEW OF THE FIXTURES IN EASTON’S TEST LAB One of Easton’s biggest competitive advantages is the ability to test components and wheels in our Scotts Valley, California, headquarters. Our engineers are able to prototype, test and redevelop components in a fraction of the time it takes our competitors just to reserve time at third-party test labs. We take pride in having some of the most stringent testing protocols in cycling. Here are just a few of our favorite tests and how they relate to the real world. IMPACT TEST This is the ultimate strength test—it’s loud, violent and designed to break rims and handlebars. With this custom-built fixture we can test handlebars and wheels well beyond the industry standard. The Havoc 35 Carbon handlebar really shines on this test, outperforming every handlebar on the market by more than 20-percent. In the wheel world, our Armored Ballistic Composite-equipped Haven Carbon and EC90 XC wheels offer the best impact resistance in their categories. HANDLE BAR FATIGUE TEST This custom testing machine uses hydraulic arms to stress handlebars. We run this test through 250,000 cycles to give you the confidence that you are riding the best components available. WHEEL DRIVE TORQUE FATIGUE TEST This test applies a static load of 240 pounds to a wheel and tire. The wheel is restrained to prevent from rotating and a torsional load is applied to the cassette body through a lever and a pneumatic actuator. The actuator operates at 30 cycles per minute. The test is run to 120,000 cycles or until failure. This is the ultimate test of the hub’s drive mechanism, hub shell and spokes. BRAKE TRACK TEST This test simulates hard braking on long, steep descents in hot days. In this fixture, a wheel (with tire) is driven forward with brake caliper loads adjusted to maintain constant pressure. During testing, temperature of the rim surface is monitored as it exits the brake pad on both sides. All loads and temperatures are recorded with one sample per second and rim width is measured before and after the test. Through the results of this test (as well as real world data) we can proudly state that Easton carbon clinchers (with ThermaTec) offer the best braking and heat dissipation in the industry.
WARNING: All bicycle components have strength limits. Read manual carefully prior to use.

COMPONENTS TECHNOLOGY THE DETAILS THAT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.
TOP-LOCK™ TECHNOLOGY “Tighten the top two bolts first.” With Top-Lock Technology, simply torqueing the top bolts to the appropriate spec (before you tighten the lower bolts) creates a safer, stronger interface with three main advantages: a smoother clamping surface (making it friendly on carbon bars), improved stiffness and decreased fatigue on the stem’s faceplate bolts.
TAPERWALL™ TECHNOLOGY TaperWall starts with computer-modulated draw benches that create multiple thicknesses in the same tube, so the tube walls can be reinforced anywhere with incredible precision. In aluminum the result is jeweler-smooth walls that eliminate stress points (boosting strength, reducing weight and improving fatigue life). In our carbon composite components, Taperwall applies more material to wall surfaces where stiffness is paramount and less material to areas requiring more compliance. The advantage is clear in aluminum or composite: Taperwall radically enhances strength and durability, at less weight. Additionally, Taperwall produces lively, responsive ride quality and improved shock absorption.
DST™ (Distributed Stress Technology) DST reduces stem clamping stress by changing the shape of the interface between the bar, stem and faceplate. By distributing clamping forces over a larger area and moving the stem bolts away from the edge of the stem, we distribute stress more evenly along the center section of the handlebar. INTELLIGENT FLEXIBILITY One big advantage Easton’s carbon fiber components have over aluminum is Intelligent Flexibility. Easton engineers custom-tune each carbon bar and fork by strategically adding flexibility in some areas (to damp road vibrations and trail chatter, for example), while simultaneously adding rigidity to other areas (to boost power transfer or improve cornering). Intelligent Flexibility provides incredible rigidity when it’s time to stand up and sprint, yet yields a crisp, supple ride that will keep you fresh on long rides.
SEATPOSTS AND R.A.D.™ Each and every Easton seatpost leaves our doors with a five-year warranty. How can we be so confident in the durability of such a crucial component? We engineer, analyze and test every last detail in house; we use only premium materials; and we rely on proprietary technologies like Relief-Area Design (R.A.D.). R.A.D. is that flat spot that runs the length of Easton carbon steerer tubes and seatposts, corresponding with the clamp zone of stems and seatpost clamps. Removing material in these critical zones prevents clamping forces from pinching and damaging carbon tubing, thus eliminating the weakest point on a typical seatpost or steerer tube. EASTON STEMS It’s relatively easy to make a really light stem—unfortunately stiffness and durability are usually the first two attributes compromised. If you know anything about Easton, you know that reliability and performance are the chief concerns, cutting grams is secondary. So when you marvel at the weights of our 2012 line of stems, know that these things incorporate the very best in materials, cutting edge manufacturing techniques and a handful of proprietary engineering solutions. The resulting stems deliver winning weight as well as solid dependability.

AERO VS. STANDARD Easton road handlebars are available in two options—standard and Aero. Aero basically means that the tops are wing-shaped, or tear dropped. Aero handlebars are also more aerodynamic (hence the name Aero) because the bars feature less frontal surface area. Aero bars are a great option for riders seeking a wind-cheating advantage, but perhaps the biggest benefit comes from the enhanced comfort. The flat tops feel great on the hands (especially on rough roads).
321
EC90 SLX3
AS SEEN ON THE PRO TOUR
The choice of the Cadel Evans and the rest of the BMC Racing team, the EC90 SLX3 features advanced carbon construction for Easton’s lightest and most versatile road bar. This handlebar’s shallow drop and compact reach allow instant access to a wide range of hand positions and easy reach to any type of control lever. TaperWall™ technology and Intelligent Flexibility™ team up to deliver a perfectly tuned bar that weighs just 199 grams. Shimano, SRAM or Campagnolo levers can be positioned for a smooth transition on the tops and into the bend. And variable radius bends afford numerous hand positions for comfort and control when in the drops.
COMFORT EC90 AERO COMBINING WITH SPEED A highly contoured, ergonomic version of the EC90 SLX3 bar, the EC90 features anatomic sculpted wing top sections for all-day comfort. This handlebar uses the same TaperWall™ and Intelligent Flexibility™ as the EC90 for world-beating performance and outstanding durability. The difference is the flattened top, which adds comfort when climbing or when cruising on long, rough roads. The EC90 Aero also utilizes an ergonomic bend in the drops for a low and fast hand position during sprints or time trialing. This handlebar fits Shimano, SRAM and Campagnolo control levers.

THE EC90 SL RISER CLIMB NEAREST PODIUM Remember the MonkeyLite SL, the handlebar that changed the mountain bike world? That was a great handlebar, but we set out to make it even better. We considered the riders that live and breathe XC racing and we redesigned our most popular handlebar from the ground up. We refined the TaperWall™ butting, added strength and toughness to the Easton mountain composite and refined the shape. The resulting EC90 SL handlebar sets the new standard in weight, stiffness and strength: no other riser bar compares. At 135-grams, this handlebar is light enough to win the weight contests, yet its strength makes it at home shredding rough singletrack atop a long-travel trail bike.
EVERY EC90 XC WHEN GRAM COUNTS We hate to brag, really, but the EC90 XC bar is the latest in Easton’s long line of gamechanging mountain bike handlebars. Back in 2001 Easton applied its knowledge of materials, design and manufacturing techniques and introduced the Monkey Lite. That bar changed the mountain bike world’s perception of carbon fiber handlebars. No one ever dreamed that carbon bars could be so light and so strong. The EC90 XC, shown here, is the latest, lightest and strongest version of the original featherweight MTB flat bar. This handlebar is now wider at 590-milimeters and weighs just 115-grams thanks to Easton mountain composite and heavily evolved TaperWall™ technology. The EC90 XC is the absolute weapon of choice for riders seeking the lightest and fastest XC bike available. This handlebar features tight and lean ergonomics—with 3-degree bend and enhanced 590-millimeter width—for precise singletrack carving through the trees. The EC90 XC is available in standard or oversize clamp diameter options.

HAVOC 35 TECHNOLOGY BIGGER, STRONGER, STIFFER. BETTER.
WHY NOW? The market has been pushing Easton to introduce a wider version of the popular Havoc handlebar for years. And for good reason: the 750-millimeter-wide Havoc Carbon handlebar was the strongest option available. Stronger than any aluminum bar and stronger than any other carbon bar. Through our in-house testing of every modern handlebar on the market, however, we found that stiffness and strength decrease dramatically with wider bars. We weren’t willing to sacrifice performance in our class-leading Havoc handlebar. That left us with two options: add more weight and bulk-up the entire bar or rethink the stem/handlebar interface. We made the right choice: by increasing the clamp diameter to 35-millimeters, the new Havoc 35 system combines 800-millimeter width, exceptional stiffness, astounding strength and is actually lighter than its 750millimeter-wide, 31.8-millimeter-clamp Havoc counterpart! Simply put, the Havoc 35 bar/stem combination introduces a level of performance never before seen in mountain biking. THE MOTO CONNECTION Easton is no stranger to wide handlebars. In fact we’ve been making 800-millimeter-wide moto bars since the early ‘90’s. Just three-years ago, Easton lead the charge in the motocross world to a new bar clamp standard, from 1 1/8” (28.6-millimeters) to 35-millimeters. The new system was instantly well received by performance-minded motorcyclists and the results were proven in countless fatigue and impact tests, in the real world and in the test lab. Coming off this recent success in moto, Easton engineers saw right to the heart of the downhill handlebar predicament—In the arms race of our-bars-are-wider-than-yours, bike-industry manufacturers failed to consider stiffness, strength, and more importantly, the handlebar’s attachment point to the bike—the stem. It was time to adapt the 35-millimeter standard to mountain bikes. WIDER There are a number of good reasons that riders are demanding wider bars—increased control, less fatigue in rough terrain and more stability at speed. These improvements are the direct result of the increase in leverage that comes from a wider handlebar. The new Havoc 35 series of handlebars measure a full 800-millimeters-wide, with premeasured cutting guides down to 750-millimeters to suit rider preference. STRONGER Strength is the main reason we adopted the 35-millimeter size. In our rigorous testing, we tested every combination of stem and handlebar we could find. In a side-by-side comparison (with every other variable eliminated), the Havoc 35 system was 15-percent stronger in the drop test (compared to 31.8-millimeter bar/stem). In long term fatigue tests, carbon bars last ten-times longer than aluminum. STIFFER Havoc 35 series handlebars are 21-percent stiffer than traditional 31.8-millimeter designs. Considering the direct correlation to handlebar/stem stiffness and steering precision, upgrading to the Havoc 35 system will offer a noticeable improvement in a bike’s handling. LIGHTER Even with these remarkable improvements in strength, stiffness, and of course the increased width, Havoc 35 series handlebars are nearly 10-percent lighter than their 31.8-millimeter counterparts. In fact, the Havoc 35 Carbon bar is by far the lightest downhill handlebar on the market (220 grams).
WARNING: All bicycle components have strength limits. Read manual carefully prior to use.
336
HAVOC 35—BOLT-ON VS. STANDARD Easton’s Havoc 35 system is available in five handlebar variations (including carbon) and two stems—standard or Bolt-on. The Havoc 35 standard stem clamps onto a standard, 1 1/8th steerer tube. The Havoc 35 Bolt-On mounts directly to the crown of a Fox Racing Shox 40 fork or a Rock Shox Boxxer. While the standard stem is more versatile (it can fit any 1 1/8th steer tube), the Havoc 35 Bolt-on offers an unsurpassed level of strength and stiffness. This direct mount stem also features 5-millimeters of drop, making it a popular choice with downhill racers trying to get their handlebars lower. The two-piece design is adjustable to three different lengths (40-, 45- and 50-millimeters) and is one of the lightest options on the market at 115 grams. Both Havoc 35 stems utilize a 35-millimeter handlebar/stem interface.
337
OPEN HAVOC 35 ALUMINUM WIDE PERFORMANCE By this point most performance downhillers understand the virtues of wide handlebars (increased stability, more control and less fatigue). But they often trade strength and stiffness for the increase in width. With the Havoc 35 series handlebars, riders no longer need to compromise. The Havoc 35 Aluminum handlebar is a full 800 millimeters wide and is second only to its carbon counterpart in terms of strength and stiffness. And thanks in part to EA90 aluminum, TaperWall™ butting, and Easton’s legendary coldworking process, the Havoc 35 Aluminum is among the lightest aluminum DH bars on the market. The Havoc 35 Aluminum handlebar is available in four colors: black, silver, orange or green.

WIDER AND HAVOC 35 CARBON STRONGER, LIGHTER THAN EVER BEFORE We took the industry-leading Havoc Carbon handlebar—the strongest handlebar on the market—and made it stronger. And lighter. And stiffer. And did we mention the new Havoc 35 Carbon is also 50-millimeters wider? We achieved this by borrowing from Easton’s motocross handlebar technology and upgrading the bar/stem clamp diameter to 35-millimeters. This new system makes such a dramatic difference in strength and steering precision that after one run, you’ll never want to ride another downhill bar.

In fact, you’re still not going to find a stronger handlebar that accommodates a 31.8-millimeter stem. Plus it’s nice and wide at 750-millimeters and wicked light at 235 grams. We’re sure the Havoc Carbon bar will find its way into the test labs of competitors eager to figure out exactly how we pulled this one off. Truth is, we rely on the same, highly refined Taperwall™ technology that we’ve been using for years. The Havoc Carbon is lighter than most All Mountain bars currently on the market and, thanks to lab testing and ride testing on the bikes of top gravity riders, we know it’s even stronger and tougher than much heavier alloy bars.

NEXT LEVEL OF HAVOC 35 THE STRENGTH & SECURITY Just when you thought a stem couldn’t get any more burly and beautiful than the Havoc, we made it bigger and badder by increasing the handlebar clamp diameter to 35-millimeters. The increased clamp diameter alone offers more strength, stiffness and security than conventional 31.8 options, plus the Havoc 35 stem is a prime example of Easton’s engineering muscle. This stem is fully CNC machined from a massive chunk of aluminum and features a host of clever designs (like Top Lock Technology™ and Distributed Stress Technology™) to remove stress risers and eliminate rocking caused by floating faceplates. The Havoc 35 stem is available in two-colors (black or blingedout anodized orange).

HAVOC BOLT-ON 35INTEGRATED EXCELLENCE The Havoc 35 Bolt-On is the very best gravity stem money can buy. In addition to looking like jewelry for your DH bike, this stem utilizes Easton’s new Havoc 35 bar/stem clamp diameter. With this stem you can rest assured that there is nothing stronger or stiffer. This stem is fully CNC machined from a massive chunk of EA90 aluminum and is tested to forces well beyond industry standards for both impact and fatigue. Not to mention, at little more than 100 grams, this is one of the lightest options available (about as light as our EC90 SL carbon XC stem).
NEW
The Havoc 35 Bolt-On is compatible with any Rock Shox Boxxer or Fox 40 fork, and is adjustable to two length settings (45 and 50 millimeters). It features negative 5-millimeters of rise to keep your front end low and fast and is available in two colors—black or anodized orange.

FOR HAVOC GO GLORY For riders that go bigger than All Mountain, the Havoc stem (like all Havoc wheels and components) is the absolute best option for boosting jumps, clearing gaps and rolling stunts. The Havoc stem is 100-percent CNC machined from a chunk of solid aluminum and features Top Lock Technology to optimize strength bar/stem interface by removing stress risers and eliminating rocking caused by floating face plates. The Havoc stem comes in an array of options too, with three lengths (30-, 50- and 65-millimeters), two steerer widths (1 1/8- and 1.5-inch) and two colors (black or blinged-out anodized orange).

FOR SPEED HAVOC BOLT-ONINTEGRATE AND CONTROL Get in close and take a look at the Havoc Bolt-On. It’s one of the most intricately machined, perfectly executed CNC stems ever made. Mount this stem to the top crown of your Fox 40 or Rock Shox Boxxer and you’ll instantly notice the Havoc feels as stiff as a fire hydrant. And thanks to Easton’s advanced engineering, this thing is every bit as tough. The Havoc Bolt-On is adjustable to three length settings (45-, 50- and 55-millimeter) and a perfect 5-millimeters of drop puts your controls in the perfect position. Distributed Stress and Top Lock Technologies optimize bar/stem interface by removing stress risers and eliminating rocking caused by floating face plates.

EC90 SL HOW LIGHT? We didn’t set out to make the lightest stem in the world. No, we wanted to make the lightest stem in the world that could withstand years of rigorous abuse on racecourses like Paris-Roubaix. In fact, the EC90 SL stem is so strong it will hold up just fine to cyclocross and XC mountain bike racing. We were able to whittle weight down to just more than 100 grams (in the 100-millimeter length) thanks to our exclusive TaperWall™ technology and a touch of titanium hardware. Because we wanted to be sure the EC90 SL would never leave you wanting more when it came to handling or durability, we used our proprietary Distributed Stress Technology and Top Lock faceplate to maximize the handlebar/stem interface.

Like the wheels, handlebars and seat posts that share its name, the Haven stem is an All Mountain game changer. We reached into the bag of tricks that we’ve spent 30 years building and pulled out a 153-gram (85-millimeter), fully CNC machined alloy stem that features higher stiffness-to-weight than any mountain stem we’ve ever made. Distributed Stress and Top Lock Technologies optimize bar/stem interface by removing stress risers and eliminating rocking caused by floating face plates. If you’ve got a Haven bar, this stem is the perfect match. The Haven stem is available in four sizes (55-, 70-, 85- and 100-millimeter lengths) and two sleek colors.

GUARANTEED EC90 ZERO LIGHT, TO PERFORM The EC90 Zero is the lightest seatpost in the Easton line, thanks to its full carbon fiber construction (including the upper and lower clamping plates). This thing is plenty strong too. By incorporating RAD™ Relief-Area Design and TaperWall™ technology, the EC90 Zero has been intelligently designed to distribute stress along the length of the post. We also remove material in critical clamp zones to prevent pinching the carbon (which can sacrifice durability).
