A Wheel For Adventures

The EA70 AX bolsters Easton’s AX Adventure Road line. Sitting alongside the line’s handlebar, as a wheel built for the trails but optimised for drop-bar bikes with a Centrelock brake standard. This is a tough and capable wheel, equally at home bikepacking laden with bags on pot-holed roads; as it is off road on gravel adventures, featuring loose chunky gravel, rocks, and roots.

Balancing Weight, Durability And Performance

Coming in at a respectable 802 grams, the front alloy rim is laced with 28 double butted, straight-pull spokes in a 3-cross lacing pattern. It offers an excellent balance between weight, durability, and performance. Out on the road or trails it rides smoothly, but is also stiff, making it a solid choice for unpredictable conditions.

Importantly for adventure seekers, it arrives pre-taped and tubeless ready. This combined with an internal rim width of 24mm which is capable of supporting clincher tyres from 35-50mm, makes this is a wheel intended for adventures!

If you are a gravel or adventure rider, looking for a wheel that hits the right balance of value, weight, and performance then the Easton EA70 AX range are an easy to get along with option.
