Strengths:    The wheels are looking good; They roll very well, also on bad Beligium roads.
Light and quick: just what i like.
Nice mix between aerodynamics, weight, stiffness and reliability.
Last pair of wheels were Campagnolo Zonda: also relaiable pair and weihgst about the same.
The Aestons can compare.


Weaknesses:    I don not know how fast the aluminium rim will stand because off the brakes.
The Zonda's do roll verry light: excellent.
The Aestons with industrial bearings roll less good and this cannot be corrected in any way.


Bottom Line:   
I've bought these wheels new in fabruari 2011, together with mij new bike: Rose Carbon Pro RS.
Together around 7,0 kg for 2.350,-- Euro: Groupe: Sram Force 2011. Colors Black-red-white.
This bike runs very good, fast, comfortable and vivit.
Thanks to the wheels , it looks also fast.
What surprises me is that Rose does not give the opportunity to select Aeston wheels in 2012: There must be a reason, but i dont know which.

Strengths:    Quick to speed for final sprints or just interval training and ease of speed maintained while riding.

Weaknesses:    Rear hub comes loose after every 2 hr ride but easy to hand tighten right back up. Wheels like to go straight better than they corner (for me anyway).

Bottom Line:   
Purchased a pair on 04-20-10 as I wanted something quicker than Dura Ace 7800's. And they are !!
Very comfortable with NO truing after 2 years. However due to my use for intervals, rear spokes have loosened and wheel creaks in 21 and 23 gearwhile spinning. Fast wheels never the less.

Strengths:    Light, stiff, aero and look freaking sweet on my Cervelo.

Weaknesses:    Not enough reviews written on these wheels!

Bottom Line:   
I had a hard time finding reviews on these wheels so I thought I should write one now that I've owned them. I have the older Easton/Velomax Orion II on another bike and they have been flawless. And so far, the EA90s are perfect. You'll get bored watching them spin on R4 hubs. They are stiff, light and aero. What more could you ask for?

Strengths:    great hubs, look great, and roll like a dream

Weaknesses:    the weight bearing come loose every now and then, but this can be correct very easily with a simple adjustment.

Bottom Line:   
I bought these as my first upgrade for my CAAD9, these wheels weigh in around 1545grams and spin great. I put close to 4000 miles on these wheels and never EVER had a problem, just not getting to the point where i need to clean the hubs other than that their golden. I keep checking thinking that they will go untrue on me but they are still rock solid, which is something to say since i hover around 185, not a typical feather weight in the road world. I just sold my bike with these wheels and it make me sad, if you have a chance ride them, they are a great wheel and the price isnt outlandish, plus they look great
