After countless hours of lab testing, Easton engineers found that the new 35mm (1 3/8”) handlebar offered the optimum balance of ride quality, weight and strength of all the sizes they tested; from the previous standard 7/8” bar, all the way up to a 1 1/2” bar. True to its function it just looks “right” too.

Prior to the Easton TaperWall handlebar, motorcycle bars were all made with the same, straight wall design. Since creating the process, Easton has developed and refined the cold-working of aluminum tubing that sets the standard in the industry. Our exclusive computer-engineered process allows us to create multiple tapers in the same tube, so the tube walls can be reinforced anywhere along their length with incredible precision. The result is jeweler-smooth walls that eliminate the stress points typical of other manufacturer's tubing. The unprecedented control of Easton TaperWall technology allows each tube to be precision engineered for its specific application. The resulting ultra-smooth wall transitions create multiple reinforced wall zones - effectively gusseting tubes on the inside. What this does is transfer energy down the length of the bar so shock is dampened more effectively without compromising strength.

Intelligent Flex™

Easton pioneered the concept of Intelligent Flex whereby durability is designed into the product without adding excess material or weight. Intelligent Flex is key to the EXP’s proven level of high performance comfort. The handlebars stay stiff and rigid to help maintain control through the fast whoop sections and rutted turns while offering enhanced damping qualities.
