The rim is a beefier version of an XC One. The Havoc share the design of the XC one rear hub. The XC two however do not. In order for Easton to sell a rim that is still good quality but more affordable they use a different cassette body and different axles. The axles on the XC 0ne allow you to mico adjust bearing tension. Well with which ever you go with they are good quality and worth the coin. They are not UST and require a stan's no tube kit if that is the way you want to go. I really did like the freehub body and the micro adjust on the bearings. Really nice additions to the wheel. Anyhow cheers. Actually the Havoc is very different. The rim is a beefier version of an XC One. The Havoc share the design of the XC one rear hub. The XC two however do not.

I wouldn't hesitate to go for another batch of Easton MTB wheels, they provide a great value when compared with the Mavic Crossmax/Crosstrail/Crossride spectrum.

I weight in at 185lbs now, but with camelback, water, foodstuff and all other bits and pieces I am over 200lbs for sure. I would have to say these are pretty tough. I really like the deeper rim profile and the hubs are really smooth. Puts a smile on my face. Just these are not ideal if you plan on doing large rock gardens or bigger jumps.

Would these be XC wheels you'd consider using over the long term and for longer rides or would you consider them to be a bit too light weight for day to day use andf epic rides? I'm thinking about building a set of light weight wheels for long rides but, at 190lbs riding weight with gear, a 24 spoke wheel scares me. What does Easton suggest for a weight limit on those wheels? I'm guessing the suggested use is probably XC and XC racing, yes? What’s your riding weight with gear Element?
