Maxm MX1 flat bar or EC70

[Earthworm Jim]

They both seem to have the same weight, (in the real world), and they both have the same instruction criteria regarding bar ends.

I have had an old EC70 before (then known as the CT2), and the MAXM is pretty new in the UK.

Which bar do you people think?

I like the look of MAXMs Isogrid but if we're talking real world differences it probably comes down to price.

EC70 £50
MAXM £60
EC90 £70

You could probably find better prices if you search but these are what I've seen recently.

Some may find the graphics on the Eastons a little more taasteful, some like the MX style of the MAXMs.

...and you get a little bit of extra width on the MAXM.

Im getting EC90 flat handle bar soon. im not sure whether EA90 bar will handle stress on my grip shifter.

hi Polaris... !wow! thats the expensive price for the EA90. Im shock. In here my country, i can get it at 115 sgd. Kinda cheap and easily get them in any bike shop here. Well,.. a small country but hell lot of bike shops.

Earthworm Jim asked for thoughts about the EC70 and a Maxm MX1 bar.
Not EC90 and not ControlTech Scandium.
Please try to stay on topic.

Jim,

The shop that sponsors me carries Titus bikes so I have seen a bunch of the Maxm bars. They are really nice!! I'm specing out a new bike now and plan on running the Maxm low-rise bar.

If I had to choose between the EC70 and the Maxm, I would pick the maxm 100% of the time.

Sorry Florian, im always thinking about the weight so much that i forgot about the topic. my apology.

well Earthworm Jim, i rather take EA70. why not search in the MTBR.com
