Crossmax SL S 29in Wheel

A rough, rooty descent in the middle of a fast cross-country lap rewards a wheel that stays light to accelerate and steady over the roots, and the Mavic Crossmax SL S 29in Wheel is a 29-inch alloy mountain bike wheel that does both. Mavic's ISM4D machining removes material from the least-stressed areas of the asymmetrical rim, which narrows the weight gap to carbon without sacrificing strength. That low rotating weight sharpens climbing and acceleration out of every corner on the way back up.

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

“I set these up tubeless without rim tape because Mavic's Fore rim design seals the inside of the rim itself. The rim shape lets a cross-country tire run at lower pressure. That keeps the tire gripping roots at race pace, which is why I point XC racers to this wheel.”
