Easton EXP Handlebar System

Easton, the pioneer in modern handlebar technology, has  announced it will soon be introducing a new handlebar  system designed specifically for the demands of modern  motocross and off road motorcycles. Currently being  tested by the Yamaha of Troy team and others, the  Easton EXP handlebar system has begun to create a buzz  in the motocross and off road communities.

Easton EXP is not only a new handlebar, but a new  handlebar system. Like every product that bears the  Easton name, the Easton EXP system’s formula for success  lies in a rich history of proven engineering and performance.

Eighteen years ago, Easton altered the face of off road  motorcycle performance when we designed and engineered the sport’s first oversized 1 1/8” Taperwall aluminum handlebar. The Easton EXP handlebar system creates a new standard with its larger 35mm (1 3/8)” size. Center, unique 8 bolt forged clamps, high grade hardware, and clever wraparound pad.

So what is EXP? It’s a simple equation: Engineering times Performance - the formula for Easton’s latest breakthrough in powersports technology.

The Easton EXP Bar System = Bar/Pad + Clamp + Hardware

The Easton EXP line -

• 9 distinct MX/AX/SX, woods, and freestyle bends
• 4 clamp styles fitting a broad range of current models 
• 4 factory-fit hardware kits 
• 5 grip models with covers and donuts

Key Easton EXP Features

• 35mm oversize center section – ideal for distribution of energy
• Proprietary EA 70 Taperwall tubing – perfect for  this application
• Intelligent Flex – Ride enhancement built in
• Top Lock Design clamps with 8 bolt attachment
• Distributed Stress Technology (DST) to enhance  durability, and ride
• Unmatched durability, up to 4 times more durable  than any other motorcycle bar
• Limited lifetime warranty

Easton's new EXP system once again raises the bar on handlebar performance just as our original Taperwall handlebar did almost two decades ago. The control and feel of this bar system is unmatched by any other bar available today.

The Yamaha of Troy race team has chosen the EXP system for the 2008 season. Since late 2007, the team has been involved in testing. Rider Zach Osborne raced on the EXP system at round one of the 2008 AMA Supercross series. Easton is currently planning to deliver the EXP handlebar system to dealers in Spring 2008. Prices are TBD.
