Fore
One wall of the rim is drilled with a tapered point with carbide that heats the alloy, and pushes it inside the rim. It creates a chimney that can then be threaded. The integrated M7 nipple can be screwed directly into this thread.
Maxtal
Exclusive alloy developed specifically for Mavic by Pechiney Alcan Group, for rim manufacturing and optimizing alloy characteristics vs. that specific use.
SUP - Soudé Usiné Process
After bending, the rim joint is arc welded. The welded seam is then milled for a smooth finish.
UST - Universal Standard for Tubeless
Creation of an airtight rim thanks to the Fore concept, drilling of one rim wall only. A UST rim profile shows specific humps to fix securely UST compatible tyre or any other tube type tyre.
