Easton's EA50 SL wheel set establishes a new precedent for exceptional value. Like all Easton wheels, the EA50 SL is hand-built - something unheard of at this price point. This is a perfect training wheel for racers or enthusiasts alike thanks to the ride quality and stiffness of the wheel set, but with double-butted spokes the EA50 SL is equally comfortable as a durable racing wheel set.

Easton wheels are meticulously tuned by skilled craftsmen to achieve uniform spoke tension. This simple procedure vastly strengthens the wheel and greatly reduces spoke failure. Further, it allows us to sufficiently tension the spokes so that the wheel has the compound attributes of light weight, stiffness, and durability. The spokes are only one aspect of the wheel that sets us apart. Every aspect of the wheel, from bearings to nipples, has been refined and improved.

Wheel building is as much art as it is science. High, uniform spoke tension is necessary to build strong wheels that stay true. Nothing does this better than experienced human hands. It's a painstaking process. Easton's systematic approach to precision tensioning and truing sets the standard in the industry
