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?

THE EC90 COLLECTION FAST HAS NEVER LOOKED SO SLEEK.
The EC90 collection represents the leading-edge pinnacle of bicycle components. These wheels, handlebars, stems, seatposts and forks are simply the best. Leave it to Easton—the carbon fiber experts—to produce a collection with the best strength-to-weight ratio of anything on the market. Upgrading to EC90 components will not only improve a bike’s performance, it will look better too; thanks in part to the matte black finish, stark white branding and subtle red highlights.

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 new EA90 RT 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.
320
The EC90 SL (shown here) utilizes a 38-milimeter-deep rim profile. This rim offers an aerodynamic advantage with very little compromise in weight.
321
ALL-AROUND RACE WHEELSET EC90 SL BEST 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 wheelset to have if you can have just one. Thanks to a 38-milimeter 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 IN THE QUIVER EC90 TT SHARPEST
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.

COLBY WEBER / VENTURA, CA / PHOTOS: ZAFFKE
THE ASPIRING PRO ONE RACER’S QUEST TO CONQUER AT THE TOP LEVEL Colby Weber lives and breathes bike racing. The 25-year-old California native works at a bike shop, lives with his parents, and coordinates his life around training and racing. “I’m at the point in my life where I want to take racing more seriously,” Weber states. He’s the perfect example of the rider that we had in mind when designing the new EC90 XC wheelset. Weber hand-picks every component on his race bike, from the front derailleur to the seatpost clamp. He pays for all of his parts and is not obligated to ride any specific equipment. We sat down with Weber for a minute to learn why he chooses Easton. EC: How long have you been racing? CW: This is my 3rd year of racing mountain bikes EC: How many hours do you ride per week? CW: My weeks vary from 12-18 hours of riding. Typically it’s a mix of both road and MTB. EC: What’s your favorite XC race? CW: My favorite race so far has to be the BC Bike Race. It’s like a whole XC race
season smashed into eight days of amazing trails.
EC: What pro XC race do you aspire to win the most? CW: I would love to win the Downieville All Mountain title EC: How light is your Niner race bike? CW: Current bike weight is 21 pounds EC: Why do you ride Easton? CW: I ride Easton products because they are light as well as extremely tough. I race
and train on all the same parts, and with Easton parts I know they will perform.

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 Havoc Carbon—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, 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, Haven and Havoc 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-point 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, Haven Carbon and Havoc 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 Aramidclass (Kevlar® and others) fibers in applications where a high strength-to-weight ratio needs to be combined with exceptional impact (ballistic and blast) strength.
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). 329
The new Havoc Carbon (shown here) is completely UST compatible right out of the box.
330
EC90 XC
THE LIGHTEST UST WHEELSET ON DIRT
The all-new 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 seasons 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—two-years, 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. Like all Easton wheels, the Haven Carbon is built by hand using Easton’s proprietary acoustic tensioning and truing method.

HAVEN ALUMINUM
YES, THEY’RE THAT GOOD
The result of Easton’s passion for engineering perfect solutions for specific types of riding, the Haven performs in any Trail or All Mountain situation. Featuring an internal rim width of 21-millimeters, the Haven wheel is wide enough for 2.5-inch tires but still exceptionally light at just 1,650 grams. We built these wheels to last, no matter how hard or reckless you ride. Other highlights include out-of-the-box UST tubeless compatibility (no need to fuss with special rim strips or sealants), high-quality Sapim double-butted spokes and sealed cartridge bearings. Additionally, this wheelset is available in every axle configuration—the front wheel is available in 9x100-millimeter (standard QR), 15x100millimeter (QR15) or 20x110-millimeter and the rear wheel is available in 10x135-millimeter (standard QR) or 12x135- or 12x142-millimeter—ensuring that any All Mountain rider or super D racer can enjoy Haven wheels. Like all Easton wheels, the Haven is built by hand using Easton’s proprietary acoustic tensioning and truing method.

THE HAVOC COLLECTION EXTRA INSURANCE FOR GOING BIG.
When you’re sending it BIG, the last thing you want to worry about is your equipment. That’s why the Havoc collection was designed to withstand obscene amounts of abuse. The Havoc Carbon bars are the strongest mountain bike bars on the market—alloy or carbon—and the Havoc wheels combine burly durability with full UST compatibility. Not only can Havoc survive a season of world cup DH racing, this collection is lighter than most company’s light-duty trail riding equipment.

HAVOC CARBON
THE ULTIMATE GRAVITY RACING WHEELSET The future of elite gravity racing is available to all downhillers right now. We took the best features from our tried and true Haven Carbon, and made the ultimate downhill race wheel. The 2012 Havoc Carbon is not only a full pound lighter than our competitors’ DH wheelsets, it’s stronger too, thanks to Easton’s proprietary Armored Ballistic Composite. This rim material is similar to the stuff used in ultra-light body armor and other military applications. (It turns out that the stresses of downhilling and freeriding aren’t too different from the ballistic impacts seen in combat.) Constructing the Havoc Carbon rim from this advanced composite significantly boosts durability making this wheel very resilient to impacts with rocks and other trail debris. Get a little offline on your race run and smack into a sharp chunk of granite? Don’t worry about it! We designed the Havoc Carbon for that sort of abuse. Not to mention you’ll be less likely to flat too, considering these wheels are UST tubeless compatible right out of the box and our optimized rim profile utilizes more material at the bead hook. Other highlights include a nice, wide, 23-millimeter inner rim width (with a girthy 32-millimeter outer rim width!); high-quality Sapim spokes; sealed cartridge bearings and axle sizing options for any DH/FR bike. Like all Easton wheels, the Haven is built by hand using Easton’s proprietary acoustic tensioning and truing system. All of these features and the Havoc Carbon still only weighs 1,560-grams per pair! Run these things and your downhill wheels will be lighter than most riders’ XC wheels. Best of all, the Havoc Carbon comes with Easton’s industry-leading warranty—two-years, no questions asked. So if anything bad ever happened, you can rest assured that Easton’s got your back.

COMPONENTS TECHNOLOGY THE DETAILS THAT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.
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.
TOP-LOCK™ Found on all Easton stems, means that the stem body and faceplate have a corresponding shape that allows the stem to ‘lock’ on one edge when tightened. This radically changes the amount of contact area between the bar and stem, adding better grip and improving stiffness between the bar and stem interface and improved stem bolt fatigue. This lets us build lighter, stiffer and stronger stems that work better with lightweight handlebars. 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 2011 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. 342
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).

SEEN ON THE PRO TOUR EC90 SLX3 AS 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 195 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 on the drops.
COMFORT WITH SPEED EC90 AERO COMBINING 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.

LEANDA CAVE FASHIONABLY FAST Since Leanda Cave turned pro in 2000, she has found victory in triathlon’s most prestigious events, including the ITU world championships and the ITU long-distance world championships. Although the 33-year-old grew up in Great Britain and Australia, Cave currently resides in Tucson, Arizona. Training in the sunny, desert climate is obviously suiting Cave very well—she recently won the Wildflower Triathlon, one of the most popular events on the U.S. tri circuit. We spent a few moments catching-up with Cave just before Wildflower: EC: How many days/months of the year do you spend away
from home?
LC: It’s normally around eight months at home and four
months away during the summer when it tends to get
too hot in Tucson. I do go away for up to two weeks
during that eight months to race venues (if there are a
few races on the East Coast for instance).
EC: Where is your favorite place to train? LC: Home. I just love being home. Torsten and I bought
our house here in Tucson, Arizona, last year and we are
so blessed to have such great training facilities right
out our door.
EC: What’s your favorite triathlon? LC: There are actually many. Normally if I win a race, it
becomes one of my favourites! But I would say
Escape from Alcatraz has to be high up on the list as
I have won it 3 times!
EC: Have you ever done any road races or criteriums?
Marathon racing? How is triathlon different?
LEANDA CAVE / KONA, HI / PHOTO: PHILLIPS
LC: I had a number of injuries early in my career as a
triathlete and so I took to road and criterium racing. I
was actually quite successful as a cyclist and placed top
three in major bike races around the south of Queensland,
Australia. I have never raced a full marathon outside of
triathlon, but I have done a few half marathons. It’s
actually quite funny because I always feel better biking
and running during a triathlon than when I do them
individually. It’s like I need a swim to warm my legs up!
EC: How have Easton wheels and components given you
an advantage racing elite triathlons?
LC: My Easton wheels are amazing. I haven’t had such great
results on any other wheels. They are most of all light
weight and aero without losing any stiffness and that is
so important. The components are equally important.
I want to have the lightest bike possible, and the Easton
components are very light without compromising
performance. Best of all they look good (I’m a chick... I
like my stuff to look good!).
EC: What would you be doing if you weren’t a
professional athlete?
LC: I’d be designing high-end fashion for one of the top
fashion houses in the world.

MOUNTAIN BIKE
353
THE NEAREST PODIUM EC90 SL RISER CLIMB 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 GRAM COUNTS EC90 XC WHEN We hate to brag, really, but the EC90 XC bar is the latest in Easton’s long line of game-changing 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.

TRAIL RIDERS’ FAVORITE
The EC70 Riser is the ideal carbon handlebar for hardcore trail riders. It features the same durability and ride feel as the premier EC90 bar, yet utilizes Easton’s more affordable composite (a material developed through more than two decades of refinement in sports as widely varied as baseball, hockey and lacrosse). The EC70 is remarkably light (155 grams) and comes in an array of versions including two different rise options and two clamp diameters.

The EC70 XC sets the standard for carbon fiber XC handlebars. This handlebar offers best-in-class value, durability and minimal weight. Want to upgrade the handlebars on your XC bike and don’t know where to start? The EC70 XC is a great option. This handlebar is wider-than average at 610-millimeters (don’t worry, you can always cut them down if you start feeling claustrophobic in the trees), remarkably light at 125 grams and comes in two different clamp diameters.

ALI GOULET / OLLANTAYTAMBO, PERU / PHOTOS: ZAFFKE
ALL MOUNTAIN ADVENTURE RIDING AND RACING IN THE PERUVIAN ANDES Easton Cycling’s Ali Goulet and Dain Zaffke recently escaped the confines of the typical work week and went on a field trip to Peru. The main objective of the trip was to race the Inca Downhill (a Megavalanche-style, mass-start downhill plunge with more than 5,000-feet of vertical drop), but they discovered that the Peruvian Andes are an ideal destination for rugged All Mountain riding. With local guides, the pair packed a lot into a short week. “We visited a remote Quechua schoolhouse at 12,000-feet and delivered groceries for the kids to bring back to their families; we went to Machu Picchu; and we did an epic, six-hour out-and-back ride complete with a traverse over some recent mudslides where one false step would have meant certain death (literally),” Goulet stated. “We logged a lot of miles on ancient, Inca trails. And the race was a blast.” The Inca Downhill turned out to be about as foreign to the Easton duo as the Quechua language spoken in the highlands. The race comprised of three runs (two race runs, and one qualifying run). Each run began at nearly 15,000-feet above sea level, with a 150-rider, mass-start sprint down a steep and rocky, glacial moraine field. There were sections of taped-off singletrack, but the entire mountain was free game, including steep hillsides and a paved highway. With no trail in sight on the upper course, the group was fanned-out 25-riders across with each racer fighting for position going into the tight singletrack. When the dust settled, Zaffke and Goulet were the two top Americans finishing in 4th and 10th place in the elite downhill. “There were a lot of fast riders there, from all over the world,” Zaffke said. “But I managed to avoid the crashes and didn’t have a single mechanical and that alone gave me a big advantage.”

EA70 RISER
LEADER OF THE PACK
The EA70 is Easton’s most popular aluminum handlebar for a reason—it Integrates high-performance aluminum alloy with proprietary TaperWall™ technology; yields an impressive strength-to-weight ratio and is offered two rises and two colors. Not to mention, the EA70 is light at just 265-grams. And this handlebar doesn’t skimp on width to save weight. Regardless of the rise option (20- or 40-millimeters of rise), the EA70 is a full 685-millieters wide—the perfect width for trail riding. Ergonomics are well considered with 9-degree back-sweep and 5-degree up-sweep. And the white finish option complements any modern mountain bike.
MOST POPULAR EA70 XC VOTED The EA70 XC is Easton’s most popular aluminum flat bar for good reason: this handlebar merges the strength and weight savings of TaperWall™ technology with the performance of EA70 aluminum. The 5-degree bend is comfortable on the hands/wrists, durability is top notch and weight is competitive at 165 grams.

The Haven Aluminum handlebar, much like the rest of the group, was designed to help All Mountain riders roll faster and fly farther. Exclusive TaperWall technology allows use the minimum amount of material necessary without harming overall strength and durability. This handlebar is available in 31.8-mm oversize clamp diameter and two colorways (magnesium and black).

STRONGEST EVER HAVOC CARBON THE The Havoc Carbon is the strongest mountain bike Easton has ever built (aluminum or carbon). In fact, the Havoc Carbon tests stronger than any handlebar on the market. Did we mention that 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.

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.
WEIGHT, EXTRAORDINARY STRENGTH. EA90 WINNING Easton’s lightest stem is the choice of World Champion Cadel Evans and his Pro Tour BMC teammates as well as top XC pilots. The advanced EA90 aluminum tubing and 3D forging process results in a perfect blend of strength and weight. Easton’s patented DST™ distributes clamping forces more evenly over a larger area, making it the perfect stem for today’s lightweight aluminum and carbon handlebars.

GOING FLAT OUT CATCHING UP WITH SAM BLENKINSOP Sam Blenkinsop has been making headlines in elite downhill racing since he turned pro in 2006. The humble 22-year-old from New Zealand already has one world cup victory to his credit, and he seems to be getting consistently faster with every race. We spent a few moments catching up with “Blinky” to see what makes him tick. EC: How many days/months of the year do you spend
away from home?
SB: The time away from home is mostly five to six months
a year. This year it’s just four months so it’s a bit shorter.
EC: What’s your favorite track? SB: My favorite track would have to be Schladming [world
cup course in Schladming, Germany]. That track is so fast
and steep, no pedaling, gets mean rough and it’s a fun
track to ride.
EC: How have Easton wheels and components given you
an advantage racing world cup DH?
SAM BLENKINSOP / DOWNHILL WORLD CUP ROUND ONE / PHOTOS: MEAGHER
SB: I found the wheels are nice and light and fast rolling,
and strong enough to handle the big impacts. Easton
bars and stem work well together to make a light cock
pit. I like the feel of the bars. It’s good to have a good
feeling bar ‘cause that’s what your hanging on to.
EC: What’s with the pet goat? SB: The goat was just a friend’s. We had it at my house for a
few weeks, just to eat the weeds and stuff in my backyard.
EC: What do you like to do aside from downhilling? SB: When I’m at home I like to try ride moto like twice a
week. I also like going out on the jet ski and just chilling
with my mates.

FOR GLORY HAVOC GO
FINISH WEIGHT
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).

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 adaptable to three length settings (45-, 50- and 55-millimeter) and a perfect 5-millimeters of rise 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.

AN ALL MOUNTAIN GAME CHANGER
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-millemeter lengths) and two sleek colors.
