The Crossmax Enduro WTS Wheelset was developed in conjunction with some of the top riders in the Enduro class to create a race level wheel that was light enough to spin up quickly, and strong and stable enough to dominate the long downhill sections. No small challenge, but Mavic was able to draw on years of wheel development in both XC and DH categories, as well as riders with the last names of Clementz and Chausson for expert feedback. At just 1710 grams for the 27.5 wheelset, you have to agree Mavic met the weight goal. To provide the strength, handling, and responsiveness, more creativity was required.

The front wheel is essential to the overall goals of the Enduro rider. Grip, comfort, and aggression all begged for a wider rim. At 21mm internal width, the extruded UST Maxtal alloy rim carries a legit 2.4" tire with ease, allowing the casing to open up and provide an amazing contact patch that builds rider confidence. The rim is super strong in and of itself, so the rider knows when the wheel is pointed in a direction, it can hold and stick the line. The 24 Zicral aluminum spokes are light and incredibly stiff in the bladed configuration. The straight-pull alignment and high tension deliver an incredibly stiff wheel, that somehow still manages to give just enough to prevent damage from hard impacts. The FORE drilling means the the outer rim section is reinforced then threaded to hold a special nipple. The interior rim section is not drilled or open, except at the valve hole. Mavic also uses it's ISM process to remove unnecessary material between spokes to reduce weight.

The rear wheel uses the same technology, but it starts with a narrower UST rim of 19mm internal width. A 2.2" tire is recommended for traction, rolling speed and acceleration, and Mavic uses 20 spokes, laced in the Iso-Pulse manner, or radial drive and 2x non-drive. This keeps the wheel stiff and the hub centered for simpler dish. It is also incredibly strong, despite the lower spoke count. Engagment comes from Mavic's ITS-4 freehub system, which employs 2 pair of opposing pawls which ensure instant engagement and maximum energy transmission. QRM+ bearings carry the oversized alloy axles, and are micro-adjustable. Both hubs are machined from aluminum with 6-bolt disc rotor mounts. The front hub is both 15mm and 20mm thru-axle compatible, and can even be adapted to a QR. The rear can be run with 12x135 and 142 thru-axles, and also can be adapted to a QR.

Given that this a Wheel Tire System set, the Crossmax Enduro wheelset comes with tires. The front is a 2.4", softer compound Crossmax Charge, that offers supreme grip and huge footprint. The rear is Crossmax Roam in a 2.2" that features a dual compound for less rolling resistance, speed and traction. This truly an integrated wheel and tire system that was designed for a specific usage- Enduro racing. But, any 27.5 bike rider would be proud to rally these wheels on the trail and push themselves to the limit. You may not hit the Crossmax Enduro WTS's limit, as these wheels were built for the very best riders in the Enduro world. But the beauty is, you can ride them as well.
