The carbon fiber construction keeps weight in check while delivering the stiffness you want in a handlebar — particularly when the terrain gets rough and control matters most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 16-degree flare is the key design decision here. It opens up your hand position in the drops, giving you more stability and confidence on gravel, dirt, and mixed surfaces. Easton landed on that specific angle after rider testing — it's wide enough to meaningfully change how the bar handles on loose terrain, but not so extreme that it compromises your reach to the hoods or your ability to brake and shift naturally. The top section and hood shape carry over from the standard EC70 road bar, so the transition between hand positions feels familiar rather than forced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEaston EC70 AX Handlebar Specs at a Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"specs_at_a_glance\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e EC70 carbon fiber\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrop flare:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth options:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40cm, 42cm, 44cm, 46cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c!-- VERIFY: clamp diameter (likely 31.8mm), bar reach, drop measurements --\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Easton","offers":[{"title":"40cm \/ Black","offer_id":43594136780844,"sku":"8022927","price":275.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"42cm \/ Black","offer_id":43594136813612,"sku":"8022928","price":275.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"44cm \/ Black","offer_id":43594136846380,"sku":"8022929","price":275.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"46cm \/ Black","offer_id":43594136879148,"sku":"8022930","price":275.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/easton-ec70-ax-handlebar-9462302.jpg?v=1771294869","url":"https:\/\/ricycles.com\/products\/easton-ec70-ax-handlebar","provider":"RA Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
