Strengths: Regular spokes. Stiff yet supple.
Weaknesses: FREE-HUB BODY FREE-HUB BODY FREE-HUB BODY !Bottom Line: I am disappointed that I have to write this review. I really like how these wheels feel,I like the price and the way they look. However,after the first ride the rear hub developed lots of play. OK,nothing to complain about yet. I took it apart,applied some blue loc-tite and an o ring.That held for two rides.Sent it back for warranty. The tech said it was ok. One ride later,same problem. Repeat same process...three times...and then I am told that I just have to adjust it after each ride. This is not acceptable given the cost of the set and Easton knows they are problematic. They have no solution.Furthermore,I now know of at least 5 other people with the same problem. I would have been better off with a set of Deore hubs on 719's. Beware!

Strengths: Stiff, beautiful, light, USTBottom Line: Great product, particularly if you find them on discount. I bought these on closeout. The are very stiff and seem boom proof. I installed some Slant Six's on them tubless with just a hand pump. Light weight for a 29er wheel at about 1750 grams or so. They are such great looking wheels in the magnesium color. These wheels are a work of art, they really bring your bike to life on the trail and look magnificent while doing so.

Strengths: Light, stiff, wide rime, true USTWeaknesses: Potentially spoke replacement down the roadBottom Line: After unsuccessfully tring to make the Tallboy OEM wheel-set work tubelessly, blowing a spoke, and burping both front and rear tires, I decided to try the Havens, mostly because of the price (2010 close-outs) and the true UST rim.
I had read some negative experiences with the rear hub axle coming loose...but after 300+ miles.. they are true and have zero play on the axle.
The reduced tire roll on corners, etc, have transformed the bike, climbs great, but descends with more confidence.

Strengths: Bombproof! I'm 6'4" 260 lbs. I have wrecked my share of wheelsets. I bought the Easton EA 90 XC for my G.F. Rig.. and was so happy with their performance that would have transferred those wheels to my new Turner Sultan except the Fox Fork came with a 15 thru front axle. OK.. I couldn't find the EA 90 XC 15mm at the price I wanted so for a few extra paperclips of weight, I went with the well received Easton Haven 29. Love them! They are light, roll smooth, are still true after some big drops and the rear hub hardly makes a sound when coasting and engages immediately.Weaknesses: NoneBottom Line: If you can $swing it... Buy These.
