Mavic Crossmax wheels get wider and boosted
These updated alloy XC wheels now come in 27.5 and 29er versions, with or without boost.
It’s been a busy first quarter of 2016 for Mavic. First parent company Amer Sports bought U.S. based carbon wheel maker ENVE. Then the famed French cycling company released a new line-up of carbon clincher road wheels. Now Mavic is unveiling upgrades to its popular Crossmax Pro and Crossmax Elite alloy XC mountain bike wheels, adding boost compatibility, widening rim profiles, and reducing price. Both wheelsets are available in 27.5 and 29. Here’s a feature-by-feature breakdown of each.
