Endurance test: Easton Haven wheels
After a complete season, the stylish Haven wheels look like new and run perfectly smoothly.

Loss of tension on the spokes? Not a trace. And they were by no means spared. Mounted on an all-mountain hardtail, the low weight and high stiffness were particularly impressive. The 26 mm wide UST rim, which is approved up to 2.5 inches, also brought a lot of comfort to the bike. Only a small dent in the rim after a puncture testifies to the hard use. Available axle variants: 9/15/20 mm at the front, as well as 10/12 x 135 and 12 x 142 at the rear wheel.
