Easton Havoc components review

" This year Easton introduced Haven bars, stems, and seat posts to go along with the high power wheels intro’d last year. Not only does this allow riders to put together a cohesive look for custom builds but the company is also building on the high quality finishes and materials (uni-directional carbon and Easton aluminum) found on the wheelsets. The upshot: matched graphics and anodizing plus even more ultra-precise machine work. "

" On the trails I really enjoy the feel of carbon. As stiff as it can be, a properly designed fiber-oriented bar really takes the sting out of the hits and these Haven components are no exception. ... ... When conditions get rough I have ample control over the front wheel without going over. "

" I really love the fact that even on those long rides my hands don’t get fatigued thanks to the combination of the natural vibration dampening of the bar and optimal bend. Over the duration of the test the bars, stem, and seat post never came out of adjustment or slipped in any way. Even with rocks and debis flying about, the finish never got damaged despite an over the bar experience (or two).  I did a bar tap or two on some saplings on a tight trail but nothing that caused too much alarm. The wider bars are definitely a good choice for an amazing amount of steering control. "

Profile Design Canta SS drop bar

" Profile’s Canta SS Drop Bar makes the reach to the levers easy even for those of us with relatively small hands. The decreased reach comes as a result of the tight radius of the drop; reach measures 70mm while the drop measures 125mm. The all carbon-fiber bar weighs a scant 192 grams (12g lighter than advertised); not many bars break the 200g barrier. "

" The Canta SS features a flattened area on the front of the bar tops to help hide the cable routing, keeping the overall bar diameter (once wrapped with tape) to a minimum. Again, for people with smaller hands, this is ideal. "

" Carbon isn’t cheap though. The Canta SS carries a suggested retail of $340, but unless you’re prone to crashing, it’ll be money well spent. "
