Default Easton Havoc Bolt-on axle

Just wanted to pass along some news, Easton just started making a Bolt-on axle for the Havoc rear Hub, I have been using the Bolt-on axle for about a Month and it’s a noticeable improvement, much stiffer from the old QR

Here are a few photos.

Easton sent me the kit to demo.
I believe the Bolt-on axle kit will be about $80, that will include the bearings for the drive and non drive side, Bolt-on Axle and Tools needed for installation.
Installation was vary easy, it only took me about two hours to install.

Two hours, it couldn't have been that easy.

Havoc's are nice wheels but $80 for a bolt-on axle? What does it cost to convert Hope hubs to bolt-on?
