Great wheels make cycling better. They make rough roads and trails smoother; tame harsh headwinds, and take the sting out of steep hills. And they stand up to all the abuse you can dish out. And at Easton, we know how to make great wheels.

Start with only the best materials: top shelf steel spokes, advanced alloys cutting edge composites. Design your own rims and hubs, scrutinizing every detail down to the last gram. Build them entirely by hand, to an incredibly high, even tension, by skilled craftsmen. And finally, test them under apocalyptic conditions at our world class Test Lab.

Every wheel we make goes through this process, and you can feel the difference it makes in every pedal stroke.

Easton Wheel Technology
The smallest technical detail—like a spoke nipple—can literally make or break a wheel. This is why Easton pays close attention to even the smallest components and design elements of our wheels, even on the entry level models. We design our own hubs, rims and nipples, and use the best components available.

100% handbuilt
Every Easton wheel is hand built, from start to finish. This is not the easiest way to do things, but it’s the best way to build superior wheels. Hand-building ensures all Easton wheels have a precise, balanced high tension that keeps them truer, longer, and also makes them lighter, stiffer and more responsive.

Throughout the building process, technicians use precision tone measuring devices to sonically measure spoke tension, ensuring that the wheel is brought up to specification tension as evenly as possible. Tension is checked using a frequently calibrated tensiometer to ensure each wheel falls into the correct tension range. Our wheel building process also allows for exceptionally high spoke tensions, which makes our wheels laterally stiffer, more responsive under acceleration, yet still as light as possible.

Our systematic approach to precision tensioning and truing sets the standard in the industry, and makes our wheels truly among the best in the world.

Wheel Testing
1. Multiple QC checks throughout the build process.
2. Each wheel is given an ID number that’s coded with build stats.
3. Wheel designs are tested for brake track durability, impact, hub/cassette windup, and bump test that equates to 4 million bumps.
