We all remember a mate (or five) buying the yellow-rimmed Mavic Crossmax wheels a few seasons back and then turning up on race day to a sea of them. Well now there are more flavours as the legendary Crossmax wheel-tyre systems get wider choices and Boost compatibilty.
The new wheel systems are available in 27.5” and 29”
With the same will to provide the best combination of performance and reliability, Mavic is introducing two new XC MTB wheel-tyre systems: Crossmax Pro and Crossmax Elite. These completely new products will be available in 27.5” and 29” at shops beginning mid-April 2016. Both wheel-tyre systems integrate Boost compatibility for perfect fork-frame integration and a new introductory price point to access the renowned Crossmax ride qualities.
