Easton CT2 Monkey Lite Riser Bar

These bars are made from natural carbon weave tubing and also have Composite Taperwall Technology. They have also been designed to have extra reinforced zones for where the stem and brake leavers are likely to clamp onto.

We are still undecided about carbon bars for mountain biking, they defiantly save weight but is there a risk they can break? Easton have a good reputation for solid bars so if anyone can make a bomb proof carbon bar it them. We fitted these bars on and gave them a shot.

If you have never ridden with carbon bars before the first thing you notice is the slight spring they have. This is not a bad thing its down to preference but we feel they help to give a smoother ride. We nit some major trails and in our opinion they felt very secure never feeling that they would suddenly snap. The only thing to watch for is that they don’t get damage to them either when fitting/refitting or when out on a ride as these could lead to overall failure. But that’s the price you pay for super light bars.
