The Hi-Rise variant gives you that extra 40mm of rise that aggressive XC and trail riders wanted without going full DH. At 596mm it&#8217;s already in a usable XC width \u2014 no further cutting needed for most builds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Workshop Wisdom:<\/strong> Carbon bars require a torque wrench \u2014 period. Use carbon assembly paste at the stem clamp and torque to Easton&#8217;s spec (typically 4\u20135 Nm). Do not exceed spec; carbon doesn&#8217;t forgive overtightening the way aluminum does.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Guarantee:<\/strong> You put in the miles, we put in the work! 30 day Guarantee, rest assured of fit, function and condition. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Easton MonkeyLite, Monkey Lite XC, CNT carbon handlebar, hi-rise riser bar, 25.4mm clamp, MTB handlebar, vintage mountain bike, 90s XC bar, carbon riser, 596mm handlebar, retro MTB<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Will this work?
