The EC90 ALX gives gravel riders an aero advantage. Battling headwinds, washboard roads and 10-hour days, Easton set out to balance rim depth and ride quality, and settled on a 36mm-deep carbon rim with a 24mm internal width shaped for gravel tyres.

Highlights

  • 36mm-deep carbon rim, 24mm internal width
  • Hookless tubeless-ready, for 30 to 53c tyres
  • Sapim CX-Ray bladed spokes
  • Easton Vault Centre Lock hub, 60-point engagement
  • Tubeless tape and valves included
  • 12x142mm; Shimano HG, Shimano Micro Spline or SRAM XDR

Aero for gravel

Easton chose 36mm of depth for a clear aerodynamic gain over shallower rims, without the extra weight, harsher ride and crosswind instability of deeper ones. Sapim CX-Ray bladed spokes lace the rims to Easton's quick-engaging Vault hubs.

Compatibility & fit

700c, 12x142mm thru-axle, Centre Lock rotors up to 180mm. Hookless tubeless-ready rim: Easton lists tyre compatibility as 30 to 53c. Choose the freehub to suit your cassette. Wheel or hub service, and fitting tyres, rotors and cassettes, are separate workshop services at Tune Cycles.
