Surprisingly light and hand built in Eugene, Oregon, the Aspin tips the scales in favor of lightweight and budget. Named for the famed climb in the French Pyrenees, the Aspin was designed as a climbing wheel with a low spoke count and low rim profile.
Using the technology of the Elan, the Aspin combines a stiffer spoke set, bomb-proof hubs and beefier rims for overall added toughness. They are durable enough for everyday training and commuting, yet still light enough for race day.
