Product Information
Full details
The Easton EA70 Ergo Road Handlebar is an ideal choice for road cyclists seeking a reliable, race-proven aluminum cockpit that emphasizes ergonomics and control. By utilizing Easton's signature TaperWall technology, this bar achieves an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, making it a dependable upgrade for long-distance rides and competitive racing. While it offers premium construction, riders accustomed to aero-profile tops may find the traditional round shape less forgiving during prolonged climbing efforts.

FAQs
Does this handlebar come in different widths?
Yes, the Easton EA70 series is available in several widths to accommodate different shoulder breadths; check your specific model variant for the exact measurement.
Can I use this bar for gravel riding?
While designed primarily for road use, it can handle light gravel paths, though it lacks the flared drops found on dedicated gravel handlebars.
Is it compatible with clip-on aero bars?
Yes, the 31.8mm round clamping area is compatible with most standard clip-on aero bars.
What material is the handlebar made from?
The EA70 is constructed from high-quality aluminum alloy using Easton's TaperWall technology.
How do I ensure the handlebar is centered?
Most EA70 bars feature centering marks near the stem clamp area to help align the bar perfectly with your stem.
Troubleshooting
Handlebar slips within the stem clamp
Verify the stem bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's recommended setting and ensure the mating surfaces are clean and free of grease.
Excessive cable clutter at the cockpit
Re-evaluate the cable routing paths within the integrated grooves; ensure the housing length is not too long to avoid bowing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the EA70 requires a 31.8mm road stem. When mounting the handlebar, ensure the faceplate bolts are tightened in an 'X' pattern to evenly distribute pressure. Use a torque wrench to stay within the manufacturer's specified torque limits, typically between 5Nm and 6Nm, to prevent damage to the aluminum tubing. For care, regularly inspect the bar for deep scratches or dents that could compromise structural integrity. When cleaning, use mild soap and water, avoiding harsh degreasers that may degrade the finish. Always ensure cables are seated properly within the provided grooves before applying bar tape to maintain a sleek, aerodynamic profile.
