Key benefits
Smooth, efficient ride quality for everyday road riding.
17mm rim accommodates larger tire section for improved comfort. Straight-pull spokes are stronger than J-bend options.
Engineered durability so you can ride more miles without service.
High quality cartridge bearings. Pinned joint and reinforced drilling rim design. Consistent and stable spoke lacing.
Designed with features and technologies that are typically reserved for premium race wheels, Aksium delivers quality performance for everyday road riding.
Features include straight-pull spokes for added strength and stiffness, and lightweight rims for a lively ride quality. The rims are now wider, which allows for increased air volume and a better fit for larger diameter tires (up to 32mm).
The hubs are incredibly tough, delivering high mileage and long-lasting dependability. And the QRM bearings are the smoothest in the category. It all adds up to a wheelset that delivers the high-quality ride that Mavic is known for.
