Product Information

Full details

The Easton EC90 SLX Di2 Road Handlebar is designed for competitive cyclists and weight-conscious road riders who demand elite performance and minimal weight without sacrificing structural integrity. Utilizing advanced carbon construction and Easton's proprietary TaperWall technology, this handlebar provides an exceptional ride quality and ergonomic comfort for long-distance training or racing; however, riders should note that the lightweight construction requires precision during installation to avoid over-torquing the carbon fiber.

FAQs

What is the clamp diameter for this handlebar?

The handlebar features a standard 31.8mm clamp diameter, compatible with most modern road bike stems.

Is this bar compatible with non-Di2 shifting systems?

Yes, while the bar is Di2-ready with internal ports, it is fully compatible with mechanical shifting systems as well.

Does it come in different widths?

The EC90 SLX series is offered in various widths to accommodate different shoulder requirements; please verify the specific model number for your preferred width.

Can I use clip-on aero bars with this handlebar?

Easton generally recommends against using clip-on aerobars on this specific lightweight model, as the carbon layup is optimized for weight rather than clamping stress from aerobar mounts.

What is the drop and reach?

This handlebar has an 80mm reach and a 125mm drop.

Troubleshooting

Handlebar slipping in stem clamp

Ensure you are using high-quality carbon assembly paste to increase friction without over-tightening.

Difficult cable routing

Use a flexible magnetic cable routing tool or a thin fishing line to pull wires through the internal ports.

Creaking sounds at the stem

Remove the bar, clean the clamping surfaces with isopropyl alcohol, apply fresh carbon paste, and re-torque to specifications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When installing the EC90 SLX, it is mandatory to use a high-quality torque wrench. Always follow the manufacturer's specified torque settings on the stem faceplate to prevent damage to the carbon layup. For compatibility, this bar uses a standard 31.8mm clamp diameter, making it suitable for almost all modern road stems. To maintain the life of the bars, avoid using abrasive cleaners; a simple damp cloth with mild soap is sufficient. We recommend inspecting the clamping areas periodically for signs of wear or fatigue, especially if you frequently transport your bike on roof racks.
