• Mavic race proven technologies: UST, SUP, Fore, ITS-4, QRM
• Weight (pair of wheels): 1710 grams
• front wheel: 825 grams

Technology:

ISM

• Low inertia Inter Spoke Milling. Lighter rim and equal rigidity is the magic equation to reduce inertia and to free extra power for climbing. A Mavic patented exclusive concept (US 6 402 256).
• Lighter: easier and faster climbing
• Less inertia: instant and effortless acceleration

UST

• Traction and control Universal Standard for Tubeless. Ready to ride tubeless system. The UST concept improves traction, control and comfort while reducing inertia and flats.
• No tube, no tape, fully sealed rim for convenient handling
• Enables to ride at lower tyre pressure
• UST rim profile with specific humps to fix securely the tyre beads
• Compatible with all types of tyres (UST, Tubeless ready, tubetype)

ITS-4

• Instant energy transmission Instant Transfer System 4 : Using 4 pawls working 2 by 2, the system provides a more dynamic ride, thanks to a very fast engagement. Its versatility makes it compatible with all kind of frame retention system.
• Better energy transmission: fast engagement, only 7,5° freeplay between two engaged positions
• Stiffer: 17mm monobloc axle
• 12mm through axle compatible to fit any kind of frame retention system

QRM

• Qualité de Roulements Mavic Our most demanding level. Those cartridge bearings are of course double sealled with C3 internal clearance, and toped with a micro-adjustability system.
• Tight tolerances for high rolling efficiency.
• Quick adjustment according to performance goals: precision "free" adjustment for maximum fluidity, or perfect high precision setting for all-weather rides.

Fore

• Stiffer and stronger Instead of being drilled, the lower rim bridge is pushed on the inside, then threaded to enable the spoke nipples to be directly screwed in it, leaving the upper rim bridge intact.
• Rim is 4 times more resistant to fatigue stress
• 20% increase in the rim rigidity to maximise power transfer

Isopulse

• The spokes are laced radially on the drive side and crossed 2 on the non drive side to maximise drive side dish, thus providing a better spoke tension balance between left and right flanges.
• Higher stiffness under heavy loads for crystal clear energy transmission.
• Better wheel stability for fewer maintenance.

SUP

• Stronger and smoother joint Soudé Usiné Process. After bending, the rim joint is arc welded. The welded seam is then milled for a smooth finish.
• Extremely strong rim joint.
• Eliminates shuddering when braking.
• Superior wheel balance.

Maxtal

• Light and strong Exclusive to Mavic, this specific aluminum alloy offers a higher weight to strength ratio than conventional 6106 alloy.
• 30% more resistant rims
• Lighter rims

Zicral

• A specific aluminum alloy that provides spokes with higher stiffness to weight ratio while being stronger.
• Lighter spokes for easier climbing
• Stiffer spokes for better energy transmission
• Stronger spokes for increased durability
