“A DECADE AFTER it wowed us with the aluminum HyperLite, Easton rewrote the rules again with this super-bitchin’, super-strong, carbon MonkeyBar riser.” (Mountain Bike Magazine, Feb. 2001). We agree.
Design Objective: Create a riser bar that weighs no more than a lightweight cross-country flat bar without sacrificing strength and safety.
The Technical Challenge: Create a carbon fiber handlebar with high impact strength, and low weight. Traditionally, carbon fiber bars have performed poorly in impact. Easton CT2 designs have set new standards of impact absorption—all in a 150 gram package!
What should you look for? Stiffness, fatigue and impact strength, and weight are all important. Ride quality is also very noticeable in handlebars because you hold them directly. Generally, when you reduce the weight, you lose stiffness and strength. Easton’s CT2 technology allows us to make a lighter bar that is far stronger than any other and offers excellent ride characteristics.
Using custom-designed test machines, we measured the stiffness, strength and fatigue life of competitive components. vibration damping characteristics. The lightest, strongest and longest lasting bar on the market. While incredibly stiff, the MonkeyLite absorbs vibrations because of our technology that places material exactly where it is needed along the length of the bar. Gram for gram,
this is the strongest riser bar on the planet.
Rider Benefits
• Riser bar comfort at cross-country bar weights
• Extreme strength and durability
• Extreme fatigue life
• Excellent ride characteristics
