Ride well, but not as fast as deeper rims. Tubeless tech can exasperate, too…
Easton’s second-tier aero set is impressively tough and versatile – if you like particularly stiff set-ups. With a mid-section 29.4mm aero rim, broad-body hubs and tight round spokes in a two-cross driveside/radial offside and front pattern, there’s no sign of deflection or drive loss however hard you kick. They’re impressively light for a low-cost aero […]

They’re made for big riders and bad roads, and our experience doesn’t suggest any different. Despite the strength and stiffness they’re not harsh on rougher sections, and they feel impressively tight […]

Their Attack bar gets a lightweight EA70 alloy construction but this cheaper model uses a 2014 aluminium in a tapered, S-bend shape. The long collared clamp for the extensions gives massive reach adjustability and they’re slotted for internal cable […]

It’s a positivity that remained on every ride… The 26mm deep-section rim is pointed enough to add some aero edge, but still gives a competitive weight and a responsive feel that a lot of more expensive wheels would be happy to match. The machined braking surface also means good […]
Easton’s Attack TT is as minimalist as cockpits get and won’t suit everyone. If they fit, though, they’re the lightest bars here by a very long way. The forward-curved, anhedrally drooped wings and dead-straight horns are all formed as one piece. Their ovoid profile also creates an entry point for externally mounted gear cables, and […]
