Product Information

Full details

The Easton EA50 Road HandleBar is designed for road cyclists seeking professional-grade ergonomic geometry without the high cost of premium carbon fiber alternatives. It provides superior comfort and stability through Easton's signature MCD drop technology, making it an excellent choice for long-distance training or entry-level racing. While it offers incredible value and durability, riders should note that its aluminum construction carries a slightly higher weight penalty compared to elite-tier lightweight race bars.

FAQs

What is the clamp diameter of the Easton EA50?

The bar uses a standard 31.8mm clamp diameter.

What is the reach and drop of this handlebar?

The EA50 features an 80mm reach and a 125mm drop.

Is this bar compatible with clip-on aero bars?

While the bar is built from strong aluminum, please check with the aero bar manufacturer regarding compatibility with your specific bar clamp area before installation.

How do I clean the bar finish?

A soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water is sufficient to clean the anodized finish.

Is this handlebar suitable for gravel riding?

While designed primarily for road use, its aluminum durability makes it capable of handling light gravel paths, though it lacks the specific flare geometry often preferred by dedicated gravel riders.

Troubleshooting

Creaking noise at the stem connection

Remove the faceplate, clean the contact surfaces with isopropyl alcohol, apply a light coat of carbon assembly paste or grease depending on your stem material, and torque bolts to manufacturer specifications.

Handlebars slipping or rotating during use

Verify the stem clamp is properly tightened using a torque wrench. If slipping persists, ensure the handlebar clamping area is free of grease or debris and consider using an appropriate friction paste.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent value for high-end ergonomic features
  • Consistent and reliable aluminum construction
  • Versatile reach and drop dimensions for most cyclists
  • Durable black anodized finish

Cons

  • Heavier than top-tier carbon options
  • Aluminum lacks the vibration damping properties of carbon fiber
  • Limited to one specific flare geometry

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installing the Easton EA50 requires a standard 31.8mm road stem. When mounting, ensure that the faceplate bolts are tightened in a cross-pattern to distribute pressure evenly across the bar's clamping area. It is recommended to use a torque wrench to avoid overtightening, following the stem manufacturer's specified torque settings. For care, wipe the bar down with a damp cloth after rides, particularly in wet conditions, to keep the anodized finish in good shape. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents that could degrade the water transfer graphics.
