Mavic Crossmax Elite WTS MTB Wheels 27.5" - 2017

Mountain bike race performance that won’t break the bank. Mavic’s Crossmax Elite WTS MTB Wheels in 27.5" offer cross country speed to upgrade your bike to a lightweight whippet.

Rims:

Using Mavic’s ISM 4D weight savings technology, the Crossmax rims have been machined between the spokes to remove any excess material, while keeping strength high. They are made from Maxtal alloy, a high strength-to-weight aluminium and feature Mavic’s SUP join, for even great strength. 

The hookless, 22mm internal diameter rims hit that balance between tyre support and reduced rolling resistance. These rims have been designed to work perfectly with tubeless systems and come with a tubeless kit.

Hubs:

The hubs have both alloy bodies as well as axles, for lightweight rolling, and an ITS-4 alloy freehub to efficiently transfer power. Sealed cartridge bearings make maintenance easy and the bodies are alloy for weight savings as are the axles.

The rear wheels come supplied with 12x142mm adaptors, while the front can be converted to quick release with adaptors available separately. These wheels are also available with a SRAM XD driver freehub or standard Shimano and in Boost spacing (front: 15x110mm/rear: 12x148mm).

Spokes:

Matching up to the hubs are straight pull steel spokes. These add rigidity and strength. The weak point of normal J-bend spokes is removed with the use of straight-pull spokes, allowing for fewer spokes to be used and keeping the wheels lightweight.

There are 24 spokes front and rear with a 2-cross pattern for both wheels. The spokes are bladed for even more rigidity and double butted, giving an even lighter weight.

Tyres:

The Pulse Pro tyres offer low rolling resistance and high speed. The X-mix dual compound rubber has harder, low-profile centre knobs to keep rolling fast, while softer, higher side knobs offer greater grip in the corners. These tyres are UST tubeless ready.

Key Features:

• Maxtal rim is both light and strong, built with a 22mm internal width rim and a hookless profile
• ISM4D machining makes the wheel lighter without compromising on strength
