These Monkey rise feel like they will stand the test of time. I gained a phenomenal amount of control after adding them and they have given me a new sense of confidence. I had no idea the extra length would make such a difference. I was skeptical of Easton, never buying a bike component made from them before. But know I’m sold. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

I rode some Titec Hellbents for three years and never realized how much the handlebars can improve your ride. These feel so much better and beg to pushed hard into corners. It's as if you can feel your weight loading the front-end . . . it's a great feeling connecting with your bike. They also facilitate wheelies and bunny hopping. Never would have thought the handlebars were worth spending good money until I tried them. They're worth paying extra money over the more generic stuff. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

I am Jack's utter amazement... I just got back from my first hard ride with my new EA70 riser and I cannot believe how much it helped my riding. Uphill my line was so much cleaner. Downhill, of course, I felt like I could bomb down anything. I never would have guessed what a huge difference handlebars make. The bar looks bad ass really proud to have it on my rig.
I used a flat bar and bar ends for two years before finally going to a riser. I picked this one because it was chosen to be on Cannondale's flag ship Jekyll. I ride a 2002 Jekyll and I figured that if it were good enough for a $4000 bike it was good enough for me. Plus I found it on eBay for a good price. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

EA70 DH Bars will give you reliable performance in the toughest conditions.
Come to Bootleg Canyon runs & see what DH equipment is up against. Can you say "Poop Chute" (PoopShoot)? EA70 DH have consitently passed muster with honors (Yesterday, I wrecked just three times on Kavorkian...EA70's still straight and tickin')
