Mavic Crossmax SL Disc Wheelset
Product Description-The Crossmax SL, an even lighter version, is designed for intensive use in Cross Country racing, for racers who refuse to accept compromise. Using the ISM technology developed on the road, the profile of the rim has been made considerably more lightweight. This reduction in weight does not compromise its stiffness, which remains as good as on the previous versions. Finally, these wheels always offer the possibility of riding tubeless, for even better performance, and reducing the risk of flats from a pinched tube.

a All Mountain Rider Date Reviewed: July 9, 2012 Strengths: These wheels are bomb proof. I have caught sticks in the spokes, hit big drops, rock fields, and still no issues. These things roll well, stay true, are tubeless ready, and have never failed me on the trail. Weaknesses: The only issue I have had with these is that the freehub needs overhaul more often as it gets older, but this is probably true of most wheels. Oh, and the spokes are a bit pricey.

from Barnsley Date Reviewed: April 19, 2009 Strengths: Outstanding Lightweight wheel set and surprisingly strong. They look fantastic and weigh only 1520g per pair. Superb acceleration and rolling. Honestly never ridden anything as smooth. Weaknesses: Bearings I have now had 2 pairs and the rear wheels on both have suffered from the bearings startingto seize. Sets of these are readily available and it's a fairly easy job to change, just a bit annoying.

from Hampshire Date Reviewed: April 12, 2009 Strengths: lightweight, stiff, smooth rollers. don't have that annoying dragging sound when going fast with air resistance. improved my aveerage speed by about an mph and a half which I didn't expect (on my road circuit) great acceleration no wind up like with my old xc717's. saved a pound in weight. are true as true can be. when combined with a stiff frame the power transfer is amazing Weaknesses: rear wheel is gonna need stripping down and the parts reset as it's just started waggling about a .25mm from side to side. not really concerned but I think I'll get them serviced. but not bad for a second hand wheelset with a 3-4yr history! I thinnk that they will not handle drop-offs too well. I'm not aggressive and weight 180lb Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: oxdrove way Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $300.00 Purchased At: second hand Similar Products Used: xc717's with hope hubs, Rolf propel (back in the day! sniff) Bike Setup: Klein attitude XV w/ full XTR m960, fox f80Rl, thomson pin & bar, conti 1.5" tyres. 21.5 pounds with these puppies!
