The EA90 XC 26 inch wheel was designed from the ground up for competitive trail riding and cross country racing. The aluminum rims are welded for an airtight UST seal right out of the box (no fussing with rim strips or sealant), because the internal rim width is a generous 19-millimeters, these wheels easily accommodate tires as wide as 2.35''. The rims are laced with 24 Sapim double-butted spokes to a flashy set of anodized red M1 hubs and sealed cartridge bearings keep the EA90 XC spinning trouble free.
