Sleek but not weak.

Let's talk about rims. Let's talk about shaping rims and losing weight. Let's talk about how the Mavic Crossmax SL 26 Wheelset managed to drop around 270 grams of claimed weight compared to its Crossmax XL cousin.


The Crossmax SL 26 has the seductive lines of a noir femme fatale, clocking in at a virtually inertia-less 23 millimeters wide and a claimed 1,390 grams light for the pair. The rim owes its shape and weight to Mavic's ISM 4D milling process, which removes excess material from the already slender 23 millimeter Maxtal rims. This process has come a long way from the squared-off plateaus of yore. The Crossmax SL's new topography flows fluidly between heights rather than terminating abruptly in right angles.


Since Mavic is the, well, Mavic of bike wheels, the Crossmax SLs are replete with proprietary technologies. The UST system means they're tubeless ready off the rack. Mavic's Fore process, which threads the rim's spoke holes rather than just drilling them, nets a claimed 20% increase in rigidity and makes the rims four times more fatigue-resistant. This stiffness is accented by the lightweight Zicral spokes, which are asymmetrically laced to account for drive-side stress. The hubs also include four pawls instead of the usual two or three, which makes for a faster engagement when you go from coasting to pedaling. The bearings are double-sealed, and they're also quickly adjustable for whatever conditions you encounter on the ride.


The Crossmax SL 26 Wheels are built for one thing: riding fast on trails. All that weight loss means they spin up fast, accelerating out of corners to keep you in the hunt. The Crossmax SL is compatible with Shimano components. For quick conversion to SRAM-compatible, pick up the XD Freehub Body.
