Easton has some new Haven products at Sea Otter that utilize a 35mm clamping area for their aluminum handlebars and carbon fiber handlebars. Seven iDP has been seen onboard riders like Steve Peat and we get more details from them about their protection products.
Easton took their one of their most popular bar and stem combination, the Haven series, and have juiced it up a bit for 2015.
The 750mm wide Haven 35 handlebar is available immediately in both carbon and aluminum versions in 20mm low- and 40mm high-rise versions, while the Haven 35 stem comes in lengths from 90mm to an ultra-short 40mm. Pricing is MSRP $160 for the carbon bar, MSRP $90 for aluminum, and MSRP $100 for the stem.
At 750mm wide, the Haven 35 Carbon gains only 10 grams from the previous 711mm wide generation, but the most impressive attributes are its strength and ride quality. Easton utilized a premium blend of ultra tough composite material that’s ride tuned for the perfect balance of stiffness and damping. In a testament to Easton’s engineering prowess, both carbon and aluminum bars maintain virtually the same weight as their predecessors while gaining almost 40mm of width, a feat made possible by the 35mm standard as well as judicious use of refined TaperWall butting.

Listen to the video to learn more about the benefits that their protection range offers. We also covered some of their pieces earlier that you can take a look at as well. The products are designed to allow riders to move while still providing ample protection at the same time.
