EASTON EA70 XC 26" 2012 mountain bike wheelset cross country
There is no shortage of expensive mountain bike wheels on the market. The EA70 XC stands out from the pack, however. This wheelset delivers minimal weight, incredible durability and solid performance at a fraction of the cost. The EA70 XC wheel is a full 150-grams lighter than the wheel it replaces (our XC2), and also features an enhanced rim profile and a welded seam for maximum strength in rough terrain.
Another highlight of the EA70 XC: the rim widths have been optimized for each wheels size. Look closely and you’ll notice that the 26-inch version uses an 18-millimeter inner rim width (23-millimeter outer) and the 29-inch version is a full two millimeters wider. That slight difference keeps these wagon wheels strong and true no matter what the trail throws at them.

We didn’t always make wheels, but once we started, we knew there were a few things that every Easton wheel would have to do: be durable, fill a specific purpose (like work great for the demands of trail riding), meet our stringent testing standards and stay true under conditions that reduce most wheels to something like a puddle.
In order to guarantee durability and incredible trueness, every wheel that you’ll see from Easton is 100% hand built and trued using our proprietary acoustic method. That’s right, our trained builders don’t judge a wheel as straight and round simply by watching it glide through a truing stand. No, they listen to the tone that each spoke makes when plucked. Even tones make for a wheel that’ll stay straight and round much longer than other methods.
