Relief-area design (RAD)


Carbon steerer tubes pose a challenge that has not been adequately addressed by other manufacturers. When a stem is attached to the top of the steerer tube, care must be taken to insure that integrity is not compromised.

Patented Protection
Easton engineers ingeniously reshaped the steerer tube to prevent the clamping mechanism from gouging or scoring the steerer tube. This patented Relief-Area Design (RAD) ensures durability without added material or weight. RAD technology also enhances the durability of Easton’s carbon seat posts which can also be compromised by seat post clamps.
