Easton Havoc Alloy Handlebar
The Good

Tough, Easton quality, Soaks Vibrations, Good size, Light

The Bad

a bit pricey

Overall Review
Can't beat these bars if you want the best! I went from an aluminum bar I liked a lot to these and was amazed at the difference 100grams less weight and the vibration damping the carbon bar makes overall. Great measurements at 3/4 inch rise and 750mm wide. Spoil yourself and get one, just be sure to protect them with end caps somehow.

Easton Havoc 26" UST Wheelset
The Good

Very light weight

The Bad

Highly prone to dents Easy to bend Not reliable

Overall Review
I have now had a whole summer to ride on this new wheelset (not the one pictured - UST 150). I will say that this wheelset is very light for its intended use and should be taken into consideration when looking at the negative aspects. However, with that said the outer rim of this wheelset is soft as butter. I completely destroyed the front wheel on what i considered to be a mildly harsh landing on a 30 ft jump. I destroyed the rear in a rock garden at angelfire. After replacement i have decided to be a little more gentle, this is a very expensive product. As of now i have a front wheel that is...

Easton Flatboy Pedal
The Good

Wide Body, Tacky Pins

The Bad

Weak Axles

Overall Review
These are great wide pedals, I have a big foot and these are very study feeling under my feet. The pins add great traction and are replaceable with the included spare pins. I've seen these for upwards of $100, but I think I got my set for like $40 somewhere, great price if you can find it. I ran these pedals on a Turner DHR, I had one instance when I was riding thru a rock garden and I smashed one of them on a step down, and when I rode away it felt funny. I finished the trail and when I got home that night to take a look, the axle had cleanly broken inside. Not exactly sure how, but I took...

Easton Havoc Alloy Handlebar
The Good

Wide, Strong, Lightweight

The Bad

Expensive compared to Non-Carbon

Overall Review
When comparing the price of these bars to other companies carbon models, these are relatively good price. Also you can find great deals on these bars because the latest 35mm bar is Easton's new flagship handlebar. I picked these up at Sea Otter in April of 2012, they've worked great on my XC bike. Really strong and are very lightweight especially when combined with Easton Havoc stem. One thing to note, not sure if other carbon bars are this way. But I've had trouble putting bar end plugs into the ends of the bars. I'm currently using ODI Lock-ons to clamp the ends of the bars. But ya, when I...

Easton Monkey Lite DH Handlebar
The Good

Weight, sweep, rise.

The Bad

They're only 711mm wide and that simply no longer cuts the mustard! Like all great carbon bars these are way to EXPENSIVE to own if you're paying retail!

Overall Review
Get the new Easton HAVOC carbon bars and cut'em down if 750mm is TOO wide for you. These have been discontinued!
