Hot News: Easton releases Haven 35 oversized handlebars and stems
The new Easton Haven 35 Carbon bar is available in hi- or lo-rise and in four accent options—black, red, blue or green.
Easton Cycling has released its new Haven 35 range today—a system of handlebars and stems with a 35mm clamping diameter, that’s said to be stronger and stiffer than the conventional 31.8mm interface. Easton introduced the oversized standard a couple years ago on their Havoc gravity line to address the diminishing stiffness that ever-growing handlebar widths created.
Now the company has migrated the concept to their Haven line of trail components, offering the 35 on 750mm-wide bars in both carbon and alloy in 20mm low- and 40mm high-rise versions. The aluminum Haven 35 stem comes in lengths from 40, 50, 70 and 90mm.

“Our market-leading Havoc 35 bar and stem have proven the benefits of the 35mm system,” said Easton Cycling Brand Manager Dain Zaffke. “Now our popular Haven line is evolving in the same way—the result is a handlebar that’s wider and stronger without compromising weight or stiffness. Not to mention, we now have more options than ever before with bold colors—two rise options and four different stem lengths.”
Haven 35 aluminum bar is available in hi- or lo-rise and in three colors—black, blue or green. The Haven 35 stem is designed for both the carbon and aluminum bars.
At 750mm wide, the Haven 35 Carbon gains only 10 grams from the previous 711mm wide generation, but makes big gains in strength and ride quality, according to the company. Easton utilized a premium blend of ultra tough composite material that’s ride tuned to balance stiffness and damping. Both carbon and aluminum bars maintain virtually the same weight as their predecessors while gaining almost 40mm of width—a feat the company says is only possible because of the the 35mm bar diameter and the use of its vaunted TaperWall butting process.
