Anybody tested the Easton EA90 crankset yet?

Was planning to buy this (probably 47/32). So far - only a few online stores in Europe have the aluminium version of this crank. Could only find previews / press releases, but no reviews.

Thanks!

I have the Carbon version, with 47/32 gearing, so I'll just comment on the gearing side.

I am very happy with the 47/32 gearing choice for gravel and bikepacking. I have an 11-30 cassette on road wheels, and an 11-34 on gravel wheels. I am surprised how much use the low gears get. For perspective, I have a road bike with 52/36 and 11-30 cassette, and 4w/kg FTP, but I rarely miss the top end gearing that the road bike has, and am always glad to keep the cadence up while climbing steep hills.

Thanks! And if 32/34 wasn't low enough...I could always install a 11-36 SRAM cassette...

Not yet. I'm looking to buy the same - EA90 with 47/32. I've been calling a couple shops and they say not available to order just yet.

Had a shop install the 47/32 rings and EA90 cranks yesterday.  Running a 10-speed drivetrain, hoping to put some miles on it this weekend.  Didn't weigh anything, but I'm sure I dropped grams from the unbranded stock cranks/rings on the Raleigh Roker Sport.

Ok, let us know how they are!

Two rides in, noticeably lighter than stock unbranded cranks. Don't have shifting fully dialed yet, some chain rub on front der when higher up the cassette. I've also learned about bottom bracket "break in" period (some resistance before grease gets spread around over time?).

I knew 47-32 with 11-34 would be an appropriate setup for most of my riding with this bike - middle Georgia gravel with rolling hills or Atlanta road rides. I was coming from stock 46-34, the Easton setup gives me a bit more range on each end.  I don't ride north Georgia mountains with this bike, I'd need more range.
