The Mavic Crossmax Ultimate 29in Carbon Wheelset is the lightest Crossmax wheelset Mavic has developed, weighing just 1,080g per pair. Created alongside World Cup XC athletes, it combines advanced carbon construction, ultralight hubs, and rapid engagement to deliver explosive acceleration, precise handling, and exceptional climbing efficiency.
Mavic's Adaptive Layup technology combines T700, T1000, and 3K carbon fibres to optimise strength, stiffness, and weight. Each wheel features 20 carbon spokes with titanium nipples, while the 30mm internal hookless rims support modern cross-country tyres and tubeless setups for improved grip and control.
The ultralight hubs feature low-friction Mavic Ceramic bearings, while the rear wheel's Instant Drive 360 Light ratchet system provides 40-tooth engagement for responsive power transfer. With a Shimano Micro Spline freehub, Center Lock disc compatibility, and Boost axle spacing, the Crossmax Ultimate is built for riders seeking every possible advantage on the XC racecourse.
