Loading... Please wait...Sure, anyone can make a really expensive, superlight wheel. But how many can deliver a superlight, incredibly durable, sweet riding wheel for little more than the change tucked into the cushions of your couch? The all-new EA70 XC wheel is a full 150-grams lighter than the wheel it replaces (the XC2), yet features a wide 20mm inner rim width for amazing tire profile. The EA70 XC’s rim also features an enhanced shape and a welded seam for maximum strength in rough going. We Include a FREE set of Maxxis Cross Mark 29 x 2.1 Tires to get you rolling out of the box, ASAP.

This wheelset has a few things going for it. The wheels look great. I'm a big fan of Easton's latest styling. They roll super smooth and when pitching my bike into a corner the wheels are laterally stable with no noticable flex, which wasn't the case with my Easton Havoc 26" wheels.
It's a great wheelset and value and loses very little to the way more expensive EA90XC 29er wheelset.
