Product Information
Full details
The Easton EA50 AX road handlebar is designed for gravel enthusiasts and long-distance road cyclists who prioritize durability and ergonomic control without the premium price tag. By utilizing Easton's signature Maximum Contact Drop (MCD) technology and a 16-degree flare, this bar provides significant stability on technical descents and comfort during extended rides, though its aluminum construction adds more weight compared to high-end carbon alternatives.

FAQs
What is the clamp diameter of the Easton EA50 AX?
The handlebar features a standard 31.8mm clamp diameter.
Can I use these bars for mountain biking?
While the EA50 AX is designed specifically for gravel and road use, it is not recommended for mountain bike applications due to differences in width and intended geometry.
What does the 16-degree flare mean?
The flare refers to the outward angle of the drops. A 16-degree flare provides a wider grip in the drops, increasing leverage and stability on uneven terrain.
How do I clean the anodized finish?
Simply use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the finish.
Is this bar compatible with all shifters?
The EA50 AX is compatible with all standard road and gravel-specific integrated brake/shifter levers designed for 31.8mm bars.
Troubleshooting
Handlebar slips or rotates during a ride
Check the torque of the stem faceplate bolts and ensure they are tightened to the recommended manufacturer specification. Consider using a light coat of carbon assembly paste if using an aluminum-to-carbon interface, though usually not required for alloy-to-alloy.
Creaking noise coming from the stem area
Remove the handlebar, clean the clamping surface of both the stem and the bar, and re-torque the bolts to specification.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installing the Easton EA50 AX is straightforward for any standard 31.8mm handlebar stem.
- Ensure your stem faceplate is clean and free of debris.
- Center the bar precisely within the stem clamp.
- Tighten the bolts in an 'X' pattern to ensure even pressure distribution across the clamp area, adhering to the torque specifications provided by your stem manufacturer.
- When taping the bars, wrap from the ends toward the center, overlapping by approximately one-third of the tape width for a secure fit.
To care for the handlebar, periodically inspect the clamping area for signs of fatigue or deep scratches. Wipe down with a damp cloth after rides in muddy or wet conditions to preserve the black anodized finish.
