Easton | EC90 ALX Wheelset

Gravel speed, shaped by the wind.

The Easton EC90 ALX is an aerodynamic carbon wheelset designed for gravel riders chasing more speed without giving up comfort or control on rough surfaces.

Its 36mm rim depth provides a clear aerodynamic advantage over shallower gravel rims while remaining manageable in crosswinds. A 24mm internal width shapes wider gravel tires for a stable profile, predictable handling, and better aerodynamic performance.

Sapim CX-Ray bladed spokes connect the carbon rims to Easton Vault hubs, combining low weight with quick 6-degree engagement for responsive acceleration across pavement, hardpack, and broken terrain.

Important Compatibility Note

These are hookless, tubeless-ready rims. Use only hookless-compatible 700C tires within the approved 30mm to 53mm width range.

The hubs use Center Lock disc rotor mounts and support rotors up to 180mm. Rim brakes are not compatible.

Choose the correct freehub body for your cassette:

• MS12: Shimano Micro Spline 12-speed cassettes
• XDR: SRAM XDR cassettes
