Ea30 (£20), Ea50 (£24) or Ea70 (£51) ??

They all appear to have the same rise/sweep and 685mm length... I need low rise.

I'm thinking the Ea50... Is it really worth paying double for the Ea70's??

i endued up going for the havoc bar as they are only 20grams heavier than the ea70s but 711 is a great width for me

In my experience Hi Rise EA50's feel much less flexy than Hi Rise EA70 bars and I now go for the EA50s as my preference. In their Mid Rise form EA70s seem OK.
