Mount this wheel to your favorite six-inch travel bike, ride it hard, case some jumps and hit some rocks. If anything ever goes wrong, rest easy knowing that Easton backs these industry-leading wheels with an equally impressive warranty—two-years, no questions-asked. They started with their proprietary Armored Ballistic Composite, a material similar to the stuff used in ultra-light body armor and other military applications. It turns out that the stresses of mountain biking aren’t too different from the ballistic impacts seen in combat. Constructing a rim from this advanced composite significantly boosts durability and makes the Haven Carbon very resilient to impacts with rocks and other trail debris. Other highlights include UST tubeless compatibility and a generous 21mm inner rim width that easily accommodates large volume trail tyres. Additionally, this wheelset is available in every axle configuration ensuring that any All Mountain rider or Super D racer can enjoy the Haven Carbon. All these features, and still, weight is an astonishingly light 1500 grams per pair. Like all high-end Easton wheels, the Haven Carbon is built by hand using Easton’s proprietary acoustic tensioning and truing method….
