Product Description
The Mavic C29SSMAX is, yes, a CrossMax built specifically as a 29er. Rejoice. It is not just a 26" wheel extended, but a wheel designed as a 29er to have the Mavic performance you expect in a package that amplifies the CrossMax tradition. The result is the lowest inertia of any 29" wheel, a wheel that has the right balance of strength, stiffness and lightweight -- light enough for cross country, but strong enough for AM, and the demands of the larger diameter. Mavic investigated the idea of having a front hub that could work both as a quick release hub and also as a through-axle, much like their beloved CrossMax XL. They decided that the idea of making removable endcaps or some other sort of transformer widget was not a wise design choice given the stresses of the 29er platform.
The wheelset is both UST tubeless and tube compatible and accepts only 6 Bolt ISO standard disc rotors. The Shimano/SRAM compatible cassette body works with eight or nine speed cogs. The ETRTO size is 559x19. Mavic recommends tire sizes range from 1.5" to 2.3". The wheel comes with UST valves and accessories, a wheel magnet for the front wheel, a bearing adjustment tool and spoke wrench with the rear wheel. The Mavic C29SSMAX wheelset is part of the Mavic MP3 program. 1745g.
