EASTON EA90 SLX Clincher Wheelset
Years of obsessive refinement and careful engineering have resulted in our lightest aluminum wheelset to date. At just 1,398-grams the EA90 SLX is perfect for any ride or race that features significant changes in elevation. Despite its low mass, this featherweight packs all the dependability and durability that are the hallmarks of any Easton product. And these wheels are wicked light, thanks to Easton’s exclusive Gen 4 front and rear-specific rims. Gen 4 rims use Easton’s premium EA6X alloy and are fabricated with a reduced wall thickness, saving at least 61-grams over previous versions.
The EA90 SLX wheelset runs on sealed R4 SL hubs that feature smooth-running ceramic bearings, 7075 aluminum axles and a light alloy freehub. Like every one of Easton’s wheels, the EA90 SLX is entirely hand-built and acoustically tuned in Easton’s own factory.

EASTON EA90 SLX Clincher Wheelset
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.
