Easton

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

Easton has nailed the perfect reach, hook and drop shapes for me. The reach is horizontal and allows for a flat run of the bar to the hoods. The hook is an egg-shaped, so it is useable and comfortable even when you are deep in the drops. And the bars have a long extension at the bottom allowing for many comfortable spots when you want to be that low but don't want to be all the way into the hooks. Add that this bar comes in 38cm, has a shallow drop, is super light and has a great feel whether on pavement or gravel. My perfect drop handlebar porridge.
