Heritage of Technology Excellence
When Easton introduced the world’s first aluminum arrows in the 1930s aluminum was among the priciest, most advanced materials known. It’s the engineering behind those first arrowshafts that gave Easton the lead in the relatively new science of aluminum alloys, and Easton’s never looked back.
Today, Easton is a world leader in materials science. It’s the front-runner in exotic aluminum alloys and carbon fiber design and fabrication—the foundation materials of the modern bicycle.
Easton bicycle frame tubing is acknowledged to be the world’s best. Its high-strength aluminum components set the standard for other manufacturers.
Its carbon fiber designs—including the EMC™
Easton Matrix Composite molding technology behind its all-carbon seatpost heads—are miles ahead of the competition.
Easton’s latest—Carbon Nanotube Technology—represents the next step in carbon fiber’s evolution, making the world’s strongest known material even stronger, without sacrificing weight. CNT boosts carbon’s ultimate strength-to-density ratio by an incredible 1600 percent, using engineered structures just one-billionth of a meter—one nanometer—in diameter. It’s an Easton-exclusive cycling technology, and you’ll find it in every Easton carbon ATB handlebar and select carbon components.
Carbon Nanotube Technology is just one example of the way Easton’s materials expertise helps improve your performance, and the performance of professionals like the Phonak road squad and the Rocky Mountain mountain bike team. It’s go-fast technology that makes a difference.
That’s the power of Easton.
