Mavic has been a manufacturer of complete wheel-sets, rims, and components for over 100 years. To this day, this world renowned brand is all about forward motion. It was Mavic that changed the wheel world with the Helium wheels that ushered in the era of pre-built wheels.
The Crossmax SX launched a few years ago with much deserved praise from hard core trail riders. As expected it was equipped with updated graphics and was 165 grams lighter. Most of that weight loss came from the ITS-4 freehub body, and the balance has been pulled out of the interior of the rim profile, a feature Mavic calls ISM, for Inter Spoke Milling . That said, Mavic has done an excellent job of making the Crossmax SX both lightweight, and high performance.
However with the new Mavic Ksyrium Elite wheelset, Mavic has made a radical reduction in weight and inertia . The results: improved accelerations and better climbing performance. Mavic has delivered on its promise and designed every single component with weight savings in mind, yet improving durability.
If you are looking for an upgrade, you can't go wrong with a good lightweight wheelset. Reducing the spinning weight of the wheels of your bike makes a bigger difference in the perceived weight of your bike than reducing the weight anywhere else.
Mavic's portfolio is well stocked with winners. You have tons of choices and some are even affordable. With Mavic you can Ride fast and ride hard with the confidence.
