" The Easton Haven Carbon's are a no holds barred attempt to create the ultimate all-mountain wheelset. They are built using a 375 gram, tubeless carbon fiber rim, 24 Sapim spokes per wheel and eye catching hubs that spin on ceramic, sealed bearings. Total weight for both front and rear wheels adds up to an impressive 1450 grams - lighter than many pure cross-country racing wheelsets. "
" When talking about all-out performance the Haven Carbons have no peers. Not only are they lighter than many cross-country racing wheelsets, they are also stiffer than other wheels that weigh a full pound more. There is no denying that the Haven Carbons brought an element of performance to my bike that wouldn't be possible with a more standard aluminum wheelset. The bike simply rode better: it climbed and accelerated faster, was more playful on the trail and also felt quite a bit more rigid thanks to the wheel's impressive stiffness. "
