I chose these because they have more rounded clamp area for lights and things than some of the competitors. Very, very comfy in the hand, and I think they dampen chatter. I've used them for gravel riding and bikepacking, and they withstood a few hundred miles with a heavy handlebar bag bouncing around. They've also held up well in CX races. The tops aren't quite as flat as the more roadie bars, but it does make install/removal much easier.
The Easton EA90 does everything a good stem should: it�s light, stiff, and it looks really good with the Easton EC70 Carbon Aero bars I mounted. One reason I got the stem is the computer mount that attaches to the stem faceplate. With aero bars there typically isn�t room next to the stem for a computer mount clamp, so this was a deal maker for me. Unfortunately the mount is Garmin only, which is why I took off one star. I had to modify the mount to make it work for my Wahoo, but it would have been nice if it had mount inserts for both. They do offer a replacement computer mount which I ordered in case I ever need to mount a Garmin, so plus a half star for that. Just know that when it says it has a Garmin mount, they mean Garmin only.
My bike came with bars that just quite didn't work for me so I decided to swap over to some 42's and am thoroughly pleased with the quality and bar shape. The flare and reach are very usable with my large mitts
These bars blend nicely with the wing shaped tubing of my Cervelo S3 road machine. Also, the internal cable routing is easy as pie due to the adequate hole size/ location. Even a Caveman could do it.
But what I really like is the flattish surface on the tops that provide a comfortable resting perch for your hands when climbing. When I first tested them, I only wrapped the outer portion and left the tops bare, like you see in many photos. I quickly found the bare, carbon tops to be too slippery, gloves or no. So I later put a full wrap on them and man, they are plush ! I really enjoy riding with these bars.
