Description
Meeting the increasing demands of freeride and downhill riders, Easton Cycling has launched a 12x150mm version of its highly regarded Havoc UST wheelset. Total wheelset weight for this new option is a remarkable 1,870-grams (about 100-grams lighter than Mavic?s Deemax Ultimate), making it the lightest 12x150mm wheelset on the market. Easton will continue selling the Havoc DH?the heavy-duty alternative and the official wheel of Whistler Bike Park (nothing sees abuse like a fleet of rental DH bikes!)?but the new Havoc UST 150mm takes downhill wheels to a new level by dropping nearly a full pound of weight and adding UST compatibility! The Havoc UST 150mm features a UST tubeless compatible, 23-millimeter inner rim width (28mm external) and is laced 3-cross with 28 straight-gauge Sapim spokes.

Pros: Super solid wheel construction. Yet lightweight. As a modern wheel you can't beat it. Fast spinning.
Cons: None
Recommendation: To date this is one of my favorite wheelsets around. Strong rim taking everything I dished at it. Why go carbon when these are just as light.
