Although they may seem simple at first glance, bicycle wheels are actually very complex products that require a unique balance of characteristics and materials for each discipline.

Mavic is proud to offer unique technical solutions that allow every amateur, rider, and cycling enthusiast to thrive in their sport and push their limits in complete safety.

Certain relevant partner technologies have also been integrated into our product development and contribute to this ongoing pursuit of improvement.

Carbon Spokes

More responsive wheels for more precise handling.

Thanks to ultra-lightweight and extremely stiff carbon fiber spokes, every watt transmitted to the pedals is instantly converted into speed.

The result: sharp acceleration and a direct, precise handling feel, even during the most intense efforts.

This technology delivers a wheel set that is lightweight, stable, and ultra-high-performance.

Mavic Ceramic

Thanks to its unique properties, ceramic allows the bearings to spin slightly faster and last longer.

In addition to high-end ceramic material, we use a high-quality, low-density grease combined with ultra-smooth seals.

With these unique properties, ceramic makes bearings run slightly faster and last longer: ceramic balls are harder, smoother, and lighter, allowing you to gain speed and smoothness.

Ceramic bearings are corrosion-resistant and much more wear-resistant.

Aero Wide Rim

A faster, more stable, and higher-performance wheel

It was developed to improve aerodynamics, stability, and riding comfort.

Thanks to a wider, optimized rim, airflow circulates more efficiently around the wheel to reduce drag at high speeds.

Our wider rims ensure a seamless transition between the rim and the tire, thereby reducing micro-turbulence.

Rolling resistance is significantly reduced, enabling a smoother and faster ride—even on rough terrain—thanks to a wider, shorter footprint and lower tire pressure.

Adaptive Layup

Adaptive Layup saves 70 g on the rim alone.

Unlike other wheels with a uniform profile, this exclusive layup technique allows for localized variations in carbon thickness based on the varying levels of stress the wheel is subjected to.

In practical terms, less material is used between the spokes; conversely, the rim is reinforced at the spoke holes where stress is highest. All of this is achieved without ever compromising the wheel’s stiffness and strength, ensuring a dynamic ride.

iTgMax

Shorter braking distances in all weather conditions.

Thanks to a unique laser treatment applied to the braking surface to improve its roughness, brake pad friction is exceptional.

Furthermore, thanks to a patented resin and a specific heat treatment, the rim does not overheat even after repeated braking or a descent down a mountain pass. It is the most reliable and effective rim brake system on the market.

R2R

This one-piece carbon spoke runs from one side of the rim to the other, bypassing the hub axle, with no breaks—providing three times the stiffness of an aluminum or stainless steel spoke.

Perfect balance of the wheel system, lateral stiffness, and power transfer (whether accelerating, braking, or steering the bike through a curve).

The spoke’s shape also incorporates aerodynamics and vertical compliance into the equation, combining speed and comfort.

Fore Carbon

A stiff rim that’s 10% lighter and ultra-reliable.

With Fore, the connection between the spokes and the rim is secured by metal inserts embedded during the molding of the carbon profile.

This patented system eliminates the need to drill into the top surface of the profile.

This makes the rim less vulnerable and eliminates the need for a rim tape, ensuring a perfect seal (no pressure loss) in tubeless setups and making tire changes easier.

Fore Alu

A tubeless rim that is 20% stiffer and ultra-durable.

Thanks to this innovation, a thread is cut simultaneously with the drilling of the spoke hole.

The spokes are screwed directly into and secured within the rim wall without any nuts. Only one of the rim’s two walls is drilled, and the upper rim flange remains intact.

No rim strip is needed (saving 30 g), and rigidity is increased. It is the most reliable tubeless system, making tire installation easier.

Infinity Hub

A high-performance, ultra-reliable hub design.

Our Infinity hubs are designed to optimize the wheel’s lateral stiffness and ensure more consistent spoke tension.

Unlike other designs, there is no contact between the spokes, which prevents unwanted noise during impacts or under heavy loads.

It features a spoke attachment system that significantly simplifies spoke replacement: it is no longer necessary to remove the disc or cassette from the wheel.

The QRM Auto system ensures long-lasting smooth bearing operation, without human intervention or special maintenance.

ID360 Freewheel

The Instant Drive 360 system is designed to transmit your effort instantly, without any lag, from the pedal to the wheel.

This patented mechanism has proven its reliability in over 100,000 wheels produced to date and has been tested in the harshest weather conditions—mud, snow, cold, sand...

Rigid and durable, its dual-ratchet mechanism allows the rider to accelerate more directly with every push.

The ID360 is also designed to be compatible with all existing freewheel bodies.

Pinch Flat Protection (PFP)

Fewer flats, more fun.

By creating a reinforcement along the rim edge to protect the tire from impacts or pinches, you can withstand an impact 20% more powerful without the risk of a flat.

This feature is particularly well-suited for heavier bikes, such as e-bikes, and for riding with lower tire pressures.
