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.

    Favoriate Trail:Womble/Syllamo
    Duration Product Used:1 Year
    Price Paid: $250.00
    Purchased At:ebay
    Strengths:Great rolling inertia, fast wheel. Lightweight and good looking. UST Rules
    Weaknesses:Ceramic surface wears easily
    Similar Products Used:SUN/SOS Specialized, WTB warrior
    Bike Setup:2006 Specialized Hardrock, xc bars, rest stock.
    Bottom Line:Mavic makes about 13 versions of the crossmax wheel and it is extremely important to get the right version for your style of riding. The SL wheel is made for smooth transition xc riding and racing. For riders with a lot of finesse this is a primo wheelset. Very stiff in corners, steering and handling is precise, and fast, fast, fast!! I have them on a hard tail for a quick, precise handling platform and they are great.

    Rider above might do well with the XL, enduro or ST versions, which are much stronger wheels for all mountain riding. Take the time to talk to your shop and find the right set and you won't be dissappointed.

    Date Reviewed: November 20, 2005
    Duration Product Used:1 Year
    Price Paid: $850.00
    Purchased At:supergo
    Strengths:lite
    looks cool
    ust works
    Weaknesses:not very durable as far as spokes go, replaced about 7 of them in the rear wheel so far
    Similar Products Used:all mavic
    Bike Setup:intense 5.5
    Bottom Line:pretty lite, and the tubeless system works(never had a flat). but the wheels dont hold up, i weight about 180 and do few drops and jumps (2-3 feet max) nothin big but the spokes are going fast and the rims got stress marks where the spoke and rim meet. for the xc rider(which is what there made for) it'll probably work but not meant for anything more abusive at least in my case. probably wouldnt buy these at the price again.
