If you're a one wheelset kinda mountain biker, then you're probably after something that can transfer power on climbs and absorb the abuse of big hits and enduro rides without sacrificing a low-weight designation. The Mavic Crossmax XL 27.5 Wheelset fits this bill, giving you all of the technology and four more millimeters of durability than the similar Crossmax ST with a paltry weight penalty of only 70 grams for the pair. Given its wheel size, tubeless-ready design, and go-anywhere attitude, this may be the last wheelset you'll ever buy.
The Crossmax XL's 27.5 inch rims are made from Maxtal, an exclusively Mavic aluminum that enjoys a higher claimed strength-to-weight ratio than plain old 6106, and the spokes are Zicral, another variation on aluminum that Mavic claims is also lighter and stiffer than its sibling material at the other pole of the alphabet. They come equipped with Mavic's own Crossmax Quest tires, which are tubeless ready, include Guard+ to fight flats, and provide excellent grip in all conditions courtesy of their Contact Compound.
Since Mavic is the, well, Mavic of bike wheels, the Crossmax XLs are replete with proprietary technologies. Inner Spoke Milling (ISM) is the process that gives Mavic's road and mountain wheels that signature horst and graben look by machining the rim between spokes to remove excess weight without compromising the rim's structural integrity. 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. The Crossmax wheels 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 drive side spokes are laced radially to accommodate the additional tension that they experience.
The Mavic Crossmax XL 27.5 Wheelset includes a pair of Crossmax Quest Tires, a computer magnet for the front wheel, and an adjustment wrench.
