Quality

Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Wheels. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Easton Haven Carbon Rear MTB Wheel.

The first thing is material. Looking at what Easton Haven Carbon Rear MTB Wheel is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.

Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Wheels. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.

There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Wheels. Brands like Easton are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.

Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Wheels category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.


Comparing Prices

Price, as you would imagine, is the most popular reason for someone buying one product over another. It is the single most important factor in choosing the majority of products we buy. The same goes for Wheels.

It’s at this stage of the buying process, when you’re looking at different options, that you should set a budget. Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for. Then match that to your own personal circumstance and how much you can afford to spend. This will really help you in narrowing down the right product for you.

Easton Haven Carbon Rear MTB Wheel Reviews

Reading reviews is an amazing way of getting a good feel for a product without actually being able to try it or see it first.

There are two different types of reviews, and we also recommend reading both.

1. Expert reviews – In the cycle industry there are loads of really reliable trusted resources for expert reviews. For example if you’re looking to buy a new bike, BikeRadar Bike Reviews are great.

2. Customer reviews – these are probably your best resource for information. There’s no finances or influence involved, they’re purely just honest reviews from customers that have bought and used the product. The reason we love customer reviews so much is because no matter if their view is good or bad, there’s a very good chance that it will be honest and unbiased.

  • Description: Easton Haven Carbon Rear MTB Wheel The Haven Carbon is a virtually indestructible wheelset designed for rugged conditions in All Mountain riding. Mount these wheels on your favorite six-inch travel bike, ride them 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‚Äîtwo-years, no questions-asked.While it seems like this could be the most overused word in cycling today, the truth is that this style of riding appeals to a much broader audience than XC or Freeride ever could. For those riders looking for the best equipment in enduro, we offer the Haven Carbon 27.5‚Äù, a lightweight race wheelset that’s virtually indestructible.We started with Easton’s 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 21-millimeter inner rim width that easily accommodates large volume trail tires. Additionally, this wheelset is available in every axle configuration‚Äîensuring that any All Mountain rider or Super D racer can enjoy the Haven Carbon. All these features, and still, weight is an astonishingly light 1,500 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.Features: Size: 27.5″Finish: Matte Carbon/Water transfer graphicsWeight: 650gType: UST Tubeless Carbon ClincherRim material: Armored Ballistic CompositeRim depth: 21mmInternal rim width: 21mmExternal rim width: 26mmSpokes: Sapim Straight-pull/Double ButtedRear Spoke Pattern: 24/3XNipple type: Easton UST AlloyRear hub type: M1/12√ó135/142Buy Easton Wheels & Tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
