Super strong and durable, this MTB wheelset offers unrivaled alloy rim performance and a tubeless system that is easier to use than anything else on the market. Trail riding is all about adventures, thrills and fun. Exploring wild places and flowy trails. To get the most out of your ride, you need to have confidence in your gear. This is especially true with your wheels, which play a critical role in the overall ride experience. That is where the new Crossmax XL comes in. It represents the highest quality aluminium trail wheel Mavic has ever built.
Versatile, Dynamic Trail Riding Performance
Wide, strong rim profile with Black Shield treatment protects the rim against impacts and scratches. New lighter, stiffer Infinity hubs with ultra-reliable ID360 freewheel system allow for instant acceleration.
More Confidence and Control on Rugged Terrain
The 30mm wide rim is optimized for lower tyre pressure, giving you a smoother ride with more traction and control. The triangular rim shape absorbs heavy impacts so you are free to bomb the descents.
Most User-Friendly Tubeless System
Fore technology fully sealed rim with no rim tape makes it easy to mount and change tubeless tyres. Leaving the upper rim bridge intact boosts the stiffness and the durability of the rim.
The rims are made with Mavic's patented Fore technology, which features a fully sealed upper bridge that eliminates the need for rim tape. That saves 30 grams per wheel and does away with the hassle of using tape to set up tubeless tyres. The rim has a 30mm internal width, perfect for optimizing the performance of any modern trail tyre. It is engineered with a super strong triangular shape, designed specifically to absorb impacts from the trail. The Black Shield technology gives them a distinctive finish that protects against scratches and abrasions.
Mavic uses 24 straight-pull spokes to further dial in the sweet spot between lateral stiffness and vertical compliance. The Infinity hubs feature a stiffer and lighter construction that is enhanced by the ultra-reliable ID360 double ratchet system for fast engagement. The wheelset is set up for 6-bolt or center lock disc mounts and is compatible with Shimano HG9, SRAM XD, and Micro Spline freewheel bodies. It is available in either 27.5" or 29" and ships with UST tubeless valves, spare spokes and accessories.
Mavic Technologies:
- Maxtal Aluminium Alloy: Exclusive to Mavic, this specific aluminium alloy offers a higher strength to weight ratio than traditional 6106 alloy.
- ISM Light Rim Technology: Inter Spoke Milling (ISM) is an exclusive Mavic patented concept. It eliminates all the excess material where it is not needed. Using a patented machining process, Mavic is able to vary the thickness of aluminium rims. In this way, the profile is lightened between each (thinner) spoke exactly where the mechanical stresses are lowest, providing a 15% lighter rim without compromising on reliability.
- Fore Tapeless Tubeless Technology: Stiffer and stronger. Instead of being drilled, the lower rim bridge is pushed up on the inside, then threaded to enable the spoke nipples to be directly screwed into it, leaving the upper rim bridge intact.
- Instant Drive 360 technology: Super light and efficient. The large contactless rubber seal provides low friction, while a wide array of end caps makes it super versatile.
- UST tubeless technology: Traction and control. Universal Standard for Tubeless. Ready to ride tubeless system. The UST concept improves traction, control and comfort whilst reducing inertia and flats.
- SUP Welding technology: Soude Usine Process, stronger and smoother joint. After bending, the rim joint is arc welded. The welded seam is then milled for a smooth finish.
- Black Shield Treatment: This treatment doubles the rim's lifespan against stone impacts and scratches. Super strong double coated treatment with a matt finish.
- Infinity hub design: Efficient power transfer thanks to optimised non-contact spoke lacing (no noise under load) and tension distribution. The length of the spokes at the front and rear is identical. Maintenance is easy thanks to a tool-free solution.
- QRM Auto Bearing Preload Technology: Qualite de Roulements Mavic Auto. Cartridge bearings double sealed with e3 internal clearance. Preload is automatically adjusted to guarantee a perfect spin with no play on the long run.
