E100 Carbon Handlebar

The E100 is a high-quality carbon road handlebar from Easton, designed specifically for performance. It features advanced engineering that enhances aerodynamics and comfort, making it ideal for serious cyclists. The "100" indicates a specific model within the E series, which is known for its superior quality and innovative design.

The Maximum Contact Drop (MCD) design allows for better grip and support in various hand positions, enhancing comfort and control during long rides. This feature helps reduce fatigue and allows cyclists to maintain a more stable and confident grip, especially on challenging terrains.

A stiff mid-section in a handlebar means it resists bending or flexing under pressure, which is crucial for performance. This design allows for better power transfer from the rider to the bike, improving speed and handling. Cyclists benefit from increased responsiveness and control, especially during intense rides.

Fatigue and impact testing standards ensure that the handlebar can withstand the stresses of cycling without breaking or becoming damaged. Fatigue testing evaluates how the material holds up over time with repeated use, while impact testing assesses its performance under sudden forces. This guarantees that the handlebar is both safe and durable for long-term cycling.

The feathery weight of 178 grams for a 42cm bar significantly reduces the overall weight of your bike, which is crucial for competitive cyclists. A lighter handlebar allows for improved acceleration and climbing efficiency, making it easier to maintain speed and enhance overall performance during rides.

Carbon handlebars, such as the E100, offer several advantages over aluminum, including reduced weight, increased vibration dampening, and enhanced aerodynamics. The lightweight nature of carbon helps improve performance, while its ability to absorb road vibrations provides a more comfortable ride. Additionally, carbon's design flexibility allows for innovative shapes that can enhance grip and control.
