Description
Technical Specs
Antique wheels were made of wood with spokes working in compression. The second generation appeared in the 19th century with drawn steel spokes working in traction. The revolutionary 3rd generation of wheels from Mavic features tubular carbon spokes working both in traction and in compression. Benefit: Lighter AND Stiffer
Features
Stiff to transform all of your power into pure speed
TracompTM technology prevents lost of tension on spokes to maintain high stiffness under high loads
Maximized rear wheel dish increases lateral stiffness
Carbon spokes don't stretch as much as steel or aluminum which limit wheel distortion
Light for instant acceleration
Carbone spokes are lighter than their alloy counterpart
Low stress wheels allows extra light rim extrusion and maximized ISM* to reduce inertia. (*ISM: Inter Spoke Milling)
Mavic's usual durability
Tracomp technology allows a decrease of spoke tension to lower stresses on wheel element
Mavic's experience: same required durability as any other Mavic wheels
