The Crossmax SL is designed to be our most advanced alloy cross-country wheel ever. For anyone looking to burn up the XC course, this lightweight, efficient 29” wheel offers the world’s easiest tubeless system at an attainable price.

TThe name Crossmax has a long history in the world of XC riding and racing, and the new Crossmax SL lives up to that legacy. It offers many of our proven Mavic technologies at an attainable price. Weighing just 1700g, it's a true all-rounder and the best alloy XC wheel in its category.

The rims are made with our patented Fore technology featuring a fully sealed upper rim bridge that eliminates the need for rim tape. That saves 30 grams per wheel, not to mention the hassle of using tape to set up tubeless tires. The rim has a 25mm internal width with a durable hookless profile, and our Black Shield technology gives them a distinctive, modern look that protects against scratches and abrasions.

We use 24 straight-pull spokes (same spoke length throughout) for a strong connection between the rim and hub and a perfect balance between efficiency and durability. Special machining on the hub ensures that the spoke head is secured but can still travel in the slot . This allows the wheel to absorb impacts from trail obstacles. Our Instant Drive 360 ​​freewheel coupled with QRM Auto bearing technology provides fast engagement and added durability. The Crossmax SL 29 is compatible with Shimano HG9, Micro Spline and SRAM XD driver bodies. It's available with 6-bolt or center lock brake rotors in 29” only and is compatible with a 15x110 front axle and 12x148 rear. It comes with valves, replacement spokes and accessories.
