Mavic Crossride 27.5 Wheelset
Since the mountain bike industry has fully embraced 27. 5-inch wheels, it only makes sense that there would be such a supply of top-tier mid-size wheelsets, but where does that leave you if you're not looking to drop thousands on a set of carbon wonder-wheels? Well, the fine folks at Mavic know that not everyone is made of cash, so it introduced the 27. 5in version of its beloved Crossride Disc wheelset. Granted, they're not quite as lightweight as the Crossmax, but the Crossride has proven itself as a durable, everyday trail wheelset for real riders everywhere. So don't worry if your budget doesn't allow for team-replica hoops, because with the Crossride, you'll have the confidence of knowing that your wheels are backed by some of the most knowledgeable wheel gurus in the game. Mavic's Crossride Disc Wheelset was developed with rider experience at the forefront of the design. In fact, the pros from teams Orbea, Cannondale, and Luna were integral in the research and development process. With their input, and a dash of French engineering prowess, Mavic was able to make the Crossride a rigid, but comfortable, entry-level wheelset that wants to accelerate and sprint out of the corners. The first step in the new design was incorporating Mavic's Self Lock system. This system uses a specially shaped spoke end that makes it virtually impossible for the spoke's thread to loosen from the nipple. This means that the Crossride's 24/24 straight-pull rims retain a constant, out-of-the-box shape with a tension and true that refuses to deviate. To combine durability and rigidity, Mavic next used the H2, hammer-hardened, rims that are locally strengthened where the spokes experience the most stress. Combined, the Crossride wheelset is both strong enough and responsive enough for brutal, technical climbs and descents. Mavic's technological innovations aren't limited to just the rim, they extend throughout every component of the wheelset. The hubs use Mavic's top-shelf QRM cart...
